Connecting the FVS328 to the Internet

Note:  You can validate modem string settings by first connecting the modem directly to a 
PC, establishing a connection to your ISP, and then copying the modem string settings 
from the PC configuration and pasting them into the FVS328 Modem Properties Initial 
String field. For more information on this procedure, please refer to the support area of the 
NETGEAR web site.

Select the Serial Line Speed. This is the maximum speed the modem will attempt to 
use. For ISDN permanent connections, the speeds are typically 64000 or 128000 bps. 
For dial-up modems, 56000 bps would be a typical setting.

Select the Modem Type. 

–

For ISDN, select “Permanent connection (leased line).”

Properties.

Note:  If you are not using modem from the pre-defined list but are using the “User
