■ “Obtaining an ISDN line” on page B-1
■ “Completing the ISDN worksheet” on page B-2
Obtaining an ISDN line
To obtain an ISDN line:
1. Find an ISDN service provider see below.
2. Choose the type of ISDN line you need see “Choosing an ISDN line” on page B-1
3. Order the ISDN line see “Ordering an ISDN line” on page B-1.
Note: A worksheet is provided on page B-3 to simplify the procedure for obtaining an ISDN line.
Finding an ISDN service provider
Local telephone companies, long-distance telephone companies or other vendors may provide ISDN service. If
you are unsure of who provides ISDN service in your area, contact your local telephone company.
Choosing an ISDN line
■ Order an ISDN line that supports both data and voice. Some providers charge less for voice provisioning.
Ordering an ISDN line
The following sections provide items to consider when ordering an ISDN line.
The physical ISDN line
You can either convert an existing analog telephone line to ISDN or install a new ISDN line.
In either case, make sure there is a wall jack for the line near the location where you intend to install the
Netopia Router.
In many cases, ISDN can use the same physical wire used for analog service. For more information consult with
your ISDN service provider.
Note: You cannot connect analog equipment, such as telephones, facsimile machines, and modems directly
into an ISDN line, without special equipment.
If your site has only one telephone line, we recommend you keep the existing analog line to conduct non-ISDN
communications.
