  3. In the Tasks pane, click Manage network connections.

  4. Right-click the dial-up connection that uses ISDN, and then click Properties.

  5. On the General tab, in Connect using, select the ISDN device, and then click Configure.

  6. In the ISDN Configure dialog box, do one or both of the following:

    • In Line type, click the line type you want to use. The line types are listed from highest to lowest quality.

    • If you want to start negotiation with the line type you selected, and then negotiate with a lower-quality line type depending on the line's condition, select the Negotiate line type check box.

Additional considerations
