Understand How ClickStart Works

ClickStart lets you configure a Cisco ISDN router so you can connect a small office or home PC to the Internet or another Internet Protocol (IP) network. In this environment, your PC is connected to the router via an Ethernet connection. You configure the router to dial your Internet service provider, and your Internet service provider supplies an ISDN connection to the Internet.

Before you configure the Cisco router, you need the following information.

From your ISDN service provider, telephone company, or administrator of your company's network, get the following ISDN configuration information:

• ISDN switch type (in North America, this is typically 5ESS, DMS, or NI-1)

• ISDN Service Profile Identifiers (SPIDs)

• ISDN local directory numbers (LDNs)

From your Internet service provider, get the following information:

• IP address for your PC

• IP subnet mask for your PC

• IP address for your router's Ethernet interface

• IP address of your Domain Name System (DNS) server

• Administrative password that you or your service provider will use to manage your router

• Authentication password that your router will use when connecting to the service provider
