Making decisions

Before you can access the Internet with your Instant Internet unit, you must make

the following decisions:

• Who will be your ISP?

• What type of connection will you use—dial-up connection (analog or ISDN),

leased-line connection (T1, E1, V.35, or X.21) built in to Instant Internet,

cable modem, xDSL modem, PPPoE, or an external router?

Selecting an Internet service provider

There are thousands of ISPs from which to choose. Nortel Networks maintains an

updated list of the major, national ISPs and as many local ISPs as possible. You

can choose an ISP from this list, or you can locate a different one. Either way, try

to choose an ISP that has a local access number so that you do not have to pay

long distance charges. You can look in the yellow page directory for local or

regional ISPs, or you can call a national ISP and ask if it offers local dial-up

access in your area.

If your ISP is not on the selection list you see during Instant Internet installation,

select the

! Default provider from the list. If you cannot connect to the Internet

with the

! Default provider selected, do one of the following:

• Call Nortel Networks Technical Solutions Center. See page 23 for instructions

on how to contact the center.

• Send an e-mail message to support@nortelnetworks.com.

Be sure to have your provider’s name, location, and contact person’s phone

number so that Nortel Networks can create a dial-up script specific to your ISP’s

access requirements and add your ISP to the list.

Note: Only a dial-up connection (analog or ISDN) requires this type of

service from an ISP. If you are using a cable modem, xDSL modem, or

external Ethernet device, you do not have to obtain dial-up service.
