Preparing Your Network 3-3
LAN Account
With a LAN account, you are assigned a registered IP address for your router and one for each PC
or workstation in your local network. A LAN account is typically more expensive than a
single-user account.
Account Information
Your ISP should give you the following basic information for your account:
• A local phone number for accessing the ISP
A secondary number may be provided for use when the primary number is busy or not in
service.
• A login name
• A password
• IP address(es) unless dynamically assigned
• DNS server address(es) unless dynamically assigned
In addition, you should ask your ISP these questions:
• Will your single IP address be dynamically assigned?
• Will your DNS server address be dynamically assigned?
• Does your ISP support the Multilink Protocol?
If you intend to connect both ISDN B channels simultaneously for a 128 kbps connection,
your ISP must support the Multilink Protocol.
