What can be done ahead of time to ensure a smooth install?
A:
First,
check the amount of IP addresses you have been given. Then, do
the following:
Check your
Domain name registration.
If you
are requesting email accounts, compile a list of the email account
requests and passwords for your ISP.
Make sure
you have all of the equipment you will need to set-up your network
to your DSL line. Typical equipment may include a Network Interface
Card (NIC) and appropriate cabling. Depending on your network
set up, a main server or hub may be utilized. Check your IT
department or ISP for details.
Have a
corporate phone bill handy. This way you can be sure the Phone
Company has the same information. Remember to include suite
numbers and floor numbers to further denote the location. Please
make sure you have complete IP address and domain registration
information.
Know where
the phone closet is. The Telephone Company will need access
to it during their install.
