BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This chapter explains how to set up your Dual 56K LAN Modem, and guides you
through the basic pre-installation checks that you should perform on all
workstations that you will attach to the LAN Modem. This includes checking each
workstations’ TCP/IP and IP address settings to determine whether it is set up for
dynamic or static IP networking. Instructions for setting up TCP/IP on your
workstation are provided for users who must perform this step.
Package Contents Your Dual 56K LAN Modem package should contain all of the items shown:
Before You Begin In order to install and configure your Dual 56K LAN Modem, you should already
have the following:
■ One or two available Analog Telephone Connections, with available RJ-11
outlets
■ An Internet Service Provider (ISP) Account (unless you are only connecting
to a private network)
■ A Workstation that meets country-specific regulatory standards, with the
following requirements:
■ A 10BASE-T Ethernet card or Ethernet connectivity (Ethernet connectivity is
built in for Power Macintosh users)
■ TCP/IP software (built in with Windows 95, 98, NT, and 2000 and
Macintosh OS 7.6 or later)
■ CD-ROM drive
