Setting up remote access for Apple Mac/iMac

Setting up your i12 connection on your Apple Mac/iMac couldn't be easier! Simply follow the easy steps below to get your computer connected to the internet.

Begin by clicking the Apple Menu, and then clicking "Control Panels", from there, click on "Remote Access".

When Remote Access has launched, you will need to enter your userID (youremailaddress@i12.com) in the name box, your password and the i12 telephone number that is applicable to your modem.

Click on the "Options" button and select the "Protocol" tab, then click on the two arrows next to "Use Protocol", and select PPP from the drop-down list.

If you want your Apple Mac/iMac to connect to the internet automatically when you launch your browser or email program, make sure to a check "Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications". Error correction and TCP header compression also requires a check to be placed in the box. Once you've done this, click "ok" and close the Remote Access window.

All you need to do now is configure the TCP/IP (this is the 'language' that computers use to communicate over the internet). You can do this by clicking on the Apple Menu and selecting "Control Panels", and then clicking on TCP/IP.

If your i12 account is your first internet connection, you may a message on the screen asking whether you wish to make TCP/IP 'active', if this is the case, click on "Yes" at this point to activate TCP/IP.

Click on the two arrows at the side of "Connect via" and select "PPP" from the drop-down list. Then click the two arrows beside "Configure" and select "Using PPP Server".

You now need to configure the protocol to work correctly with our servers. Click in the box next to "Name server address", and type in 212.1.130.33 and then 212.1.130.32. Make sure that you press enter at the end of each line. There are no other changes to make to this screen. Close the window and click on "Save" when asked "Save changes to the current configuration?"
