In order for the NetMAX to recognize it, you must set up the SB1000 driver. This requires configuring Linux's Plug-and-Play (PnP) system. The simple method, which should work for most installations, is to:

• Obtain a "root" shell on your NetMAX. Use "telnet" to log in as an administrator, and then "su".
• Type the following command:

  /sbin/pnpdump -c | /bin/sed -e 's;(CHECK);;' > /etc/isapnp.conf
  

• It is extremely important to check the resulting /etc/isapnp.conf file to make sure that the GIC board has the correct IO 0 BASE, IO 1 BASE, and INT 0 IRQ values. If you have the Microsft Windows drivers installed, then you can use the System Control Panel to determine the correct values for these parameters. Also check this file for conflicting IO and IRQ parameters regarding other devices that the PnP setup software ma have found.
  
  
• Type the following command:

  echo "sb1000" >> /etc/netmods.list
  

  (note that there are two ">" characters)
  
  
• Reboot your NetMAX for the changes to take effect.

After setting up the dial-out modem, visit the Home -> Network -> Routing page and set the Default Router to the dial-out modem you just configured (ttyS#).

Then visit the Home -> Network -> DNS page and set the Allowed to use InterNIC checkbox, so your NetMAX can resolve names on the Internet.

Lastly, Commit all of these changes.

The next time your NetMAX needs to access the Internet, it should automatically dial your Cable service provider.
