Setup tips
Your ISDN service provider may have the Netopia Router on a list of supported products that have been tested
with a particular ISDN line configuration. Your ISDN service provider will know how to set up your line if the
Netopia Router is on that list.
Switch protocol type
To configure the Netopia Router, your ISDN service provider must provide you with the switch protocol type used
on your ISDN line.
The Netopia Router supports the following protocols:
EuroISDN (also known as ETSI or NET3)
Japanese NTT
Australian TS013
Testing the ISDN line
Once the Netopia Router is installed and configured, use the loopback test to evaluate the line. See “ISDN
Switch Loopback Test” on page 13-13. If the line does not work properly, ask your ISDN service provider to
reconfigure the line until it works properly. A successful loopback is necessary for a bonded 128K 2B
connection.
Completing the ISDN worksheet
The following ISDN worksheets are provided for you to enter ISDN account information. For your convenience,
you may want to photocopy the appropriate ISDN worksheet, and then complete the copy.
When completing the worksheet, fill in:
Section 1 when you find out from whom you’ll be ordering your ISDN line.
Section 2 when ordering your ISDN line.
Section 3 after ordering your ISDN line.
Complete the worksheet carefully. You will need this information when configuring the Netopia Router.
Have the worksheet available if you call Netopia Technical Support. The information on the sheet will help a
Netopia technician answer your questions quickly.
Note: The ISDN worksheet is for your convenience only. You may receive forms containing similar information
from your ISDN service provider. The ISDN worksheet is neither an application for an ISDN line nor a substitute
for the forms your ISDN service provider uses.
