The computer you are going to use to configure the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem must have:
• Web browser software (Netscape 3.01 or later, or Internet Explorer 4 or later).
Internet Explorer 4 is included on the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem CD for computers running Windows 95,
Windows 98, or NT 4.0 or later. NT 4.0 requires SP3 or SP4, which are available on the DIVA LAN ISDN
Modem CD.
• The Web browser must be configured as follows:
• Connect to the Internet via a local area network (LAN).

To use the advanced configuration options
For the advanced user, the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem offers additional configuration options. These options
and their requirements are as follows:

configuration parameters. To access this interface you require Telnet software or a terminal emulation
program.
• TFTP (trivial file transfer protocol) gives you access to all configuration files on the DIVA LAN ISDN
Modem. You need TFTP client software to use this option. A TFTP program is included on the DIVA LAN
ISDN Modem CD.
• The DTMF interface enables you to define certain DIVA LAN ISDN Modem configuration settings using
a ordinary touch tone phone.
See Chapter Ten for more information on these configuration options.
