I bought a 775M Cisco router and cannot get it to work with My ISDN line. The main problem being the selection of a switch type. In the fast set-up software provided with the router I am given 3 options: National(NI-1) AT&T (5ESS) Nortel(DMS)
I live in the UK so I think I need NET3(after a lot of looking around on the NET) which isn't in the list, the autodetect option does not work. So in all my installation attempts it says the spids are rejected I presume my problem is that the router may have been meant for the US market as it has a 2 pin round plug, which is not what we use in the UK. Should I have different software giving me the choice of NET3 ? and if so is there anything I can do about it ?
I know many folks here must have plenty experience with routers. My other main problem is I have never used telnet or the like, hence my reliance on the fast set-up utility that came with it.
The router was bought on ebay for about £50 which seemed like a good deal..at the time. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Here's a good suggestion. Sell the Cisco Router on Ebay and buy a more home friendly router with a GUI like ones you can find from Linksys and/or Netgear. It would probably be your best bet.
Yeah I was refering to the mains cable, I can power it fine, and Cisco don't seem to want to help unless I have a contract with them, but I will dig around their site some more.
I have found a way around the SPID problem though but as yet it keeps rejecting my ISP phone number.
