Configure PSTN interfaces
The Configuration > Network > Interfaces > PSTN section of the web interface appears when the
router is fitted with an optional internal PSTN MODEM card. When the router is first powered up,
navigating to the Configuration > Network > Interfaces > PSTN page shows a message indicating
that the MODEM card does not have a PPP instance associated with it. Follow the link on the page
and select an unassigned PPP interface to the MODEM. Refreshing the browser and navigating to
Configuration > Network > Interfaces > PSTN page should display the following parameters,
along with a message at the top of the page indicating the selected PPP instance.
