34 Configuring for Internet Access
3. ISP IP Addr - Enter the IP Address of the remote gateway at the
ISP’s site. If you do not have this data, just leave it blank.
4. My Login Name - Enter the login name provided by your ISP.
5. My Password - Enter the password associated with the login name
above. Note that this login name/password pair is only for your
Prestige to connect to the ISP’s gateway. When you use TCP/IP
applications, e.g., FTP, to access the Internet from your
workstation, you will need a separate login name and password for
each server.
6. Single User Account - See the following section for a more
detailed discussion on the Single User Account feature. The default
is No.
7. Press ENTER at the message: Press ENTER to Confirm ... to
confirm your selections, or press ESC at any time to cancel your
selections.
8. At this point, the SMT will ask if you wish to test the Internet
connection. If you select Yes, your Prestige will call the ISP to test
the Internet connection. If the test fails, note the error message that
you receive and take the appropriate troubleshooting steps.
Single User Account
Typically, if there are multiple users on the LAN wanting to concurrently
access the Internet, they will have to subscribe to multiple IP addresses
or a Class C subnetwork from the ISP. In either case, these two
approaches will cost more than a single user account.
The Single User Account (SUA) feature allows customers to have the
same benefits as having a Class C address, but still only pay for one IP
address, thus saving significantly on subscription fees. (Check with your
ISP before you enable this feature).
