Installation Guide

This set of instructions has been provided as a guideline to help the ConnectTime DSL customers to install and set-up their new high-speed connection. The installation procedure is considerably simpler than many other high-speed data service installations. This procedure has been organized into two phases.

Before you begin the installation, you will need the following:

• A Network Interface Card (NIC) installed on your PC
• The ConnectTime DSL Account Form from North Pittsburgh Telephone Company. The Information contained on the form is necessary to complete the installation.

The first phase of the installation is the modem set-up. Click Here for modem set-up instructions.

The second phase of the installation is the PC configuration. Refer to the information contained on your ConnectTime DSL Account Form provided by North Pittsburgh Telephone Company. For programming instructions, click on the link below that corresponds with your operating system.

Windows 95/98
