Internet Access USB Connection
Internet Access
Using the OpenPhone 27, there are
several ways of connecting to an In-
ternet Service Provider (ISP). If sev-
eral PCs wish to go online simultane-
ously, then a connection via the
OpenCom 100 dial-up interface has
the advantage that only one connec-
tion to the ISP is required. In this
way, money is saved.
Access via the OpenCom
dial-up interface (RAS)
Via the integrated router, you can
use the OpenCom dial-up interface
to connect to the ISP. The connection
is made to the Internet Service Pro-
vider set in the OpenCom Configura-
tor under NET Configuration: Con-
nections: ISP.
The advantage of this connection
method is that should other PCs also
desire to connect to the Internet, is
only one connection to the ISP nec-
essary thus saving money.
For further information, see Setting
up the OpenCom dial-up network ac-
cess (RAS) starting on page 85.
Access via a PC dial-up
interface
You can set up a dial-up network to
the Internet using the access infor-
mation provided by your Internet
Service Provider (ISP).
The connection to the ISP is estab-
lished via an available B-channel.
Potentially this can be a disadvan-
tage: if another PC also establishes a
connection to the ISP, higher costs
are incurred. The second PC uses a
second free B-channel since the orig-
inal connection was not made via
the OpenCom integrated router.
For further information, see Settings
for an Internet connection via the PC
dial-up network starting on page 84.
To guard against the creation of un-
desired dial-up connections, you
should activate connection monitor-
ing in the CAPI-Control settings
screen under Security tab, for exam-
ple by checking confirm each new
connection.
