NETGEAR RT328 Installation Guide

Model RT328 and Model RH348 ISDN Routers Installation Giude
ISDN Checklist
When ordering ISDN service from your telephone company, make sure you receive the following
information:
• Your directory number(s)
• For North America only, your service profile identifier numbers (SPIDs)
• For North America only, the switch type and protocol of the switch used at your telephone
company
If you require Caller ID, Additional Call Offering, or other services, make sure to order them with
your ISDN service.
ISP Checklist
If you are obtaining an ISDN account with an Internet service provider (ISP), order a single-user
account that provides a single static or dynamic IP address unless you have a need for registered IP
addresses. Make sure you receive the following information from your ISP:
• Your login name
• Your password
• Dial-up phone number of the ISP
• DNS server IP address(es) of the ISP
If you require MultilinkPPP and/or compression, ask whether or not your ISP supports these
features.
Network Checklist
The Model RT328/RH348 router uses the Internet Protocol (IP). The IP configuration has the
following requirements:
• All PCs must have TCP/IP manually installed and manually selected as the networking
protocol.
• All PCs and the router must be assigned IP addresses. If your ISP or network administrator
has not assigned these, use private addresses. If you are using the DHCP function of the
router, these private addresses are assigned automatically by the router when the PCs are
rebooted.
• All PCs must have the IP address of the router defined as the default gateway. If you are using
the DHCP function of the router, this IP address is assigned automatically by the router when
the PCs are rebooted.
If you do not have any assigned IP addresses, you must use NAT. Assign IP addresses from a
group of designated private IP addresses.
Determining Internet Protocol (IP) Addresses
If you will be using the private addressing scheme recommended by NETGEAR, use these
network IP addresses:
• 192.168.0.1—local IP address of your router and default gateway for the PCs
• 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.32—IP addresses of your PCs
• 255.255.255.0—netmask for your router and PCs
This information may be entered manually to each device or it may be assigned automatically by
the DHCP function of the router when the PCs are rebooted.
