Connect to the Internet by using an ISDN device

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To connect to the Internet by using an ISDN device

Install the ISDN hardware in your computer.
On your desktop, right-click My Computer, click Properties, and on the Hardware tab, click Add Hardware Wizard.
After the ISDN adapter is added and the server is restarted, verify that the ISDN adapter appears as a port under Ports in Routing and Remote Access.
To configure the ISDN port, right-click Ports, and then click Properties.
In the Port Properties dialog box, select the ISDN device you want to configure, click Configure, select the Demand-dial routing connections (inbound and outbound) check box, and then click OK.
To create a demand-dial interface and configure it to use the ISDN device to dial in to the ISP, right-click Network Interfaces, and then click New Demand-dial interface.
Add a default route that uses the newly created demand-dial interface.

Note

A default route has a Destination of 0.0.0.0, a Network mask of 0.0.0.0, and a Metric of 1. Because the dial-up connection to the ISP is a point-to-point link, the Gateway IP address is not configurable.

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
