T1 line techincal setup questions

[centralhigh76]

Well... Here is our problem. We are in the process of ordering a T1 line for general use in my family and for our PR server. The company asked us a few questions and we have no idea what any of the stuff means or what it effects and how it will effects it. We even asked our IT guy that is currently in his second year of collage and he doesn't know about any of this stuff. So we are forced to turn to the Project Reality Community to help us figure this stuff out.

They asked about:

1. Demarc location. This is the biggest one.
a. Does the circuit need to be extended from MPOE?
b. Are there any special access requirements or hours?

2. Router Configuration (Below are the standard defaults)
a. Line Coding: DS1- B8ZS
b. Framing/Formatting: DS1- ESF(extended superframing)
c. Encapsulation: PPP

3. Do they need IP address and how many. **We are getting 3 so you can disregard this one I just copied straight from the email**

4. Will they be hosting a web site and need DNS?


We are using the lines for 100% internet so no phone will be on. Don't all internet connections need a DNS? Remember this is for my personal family use and for my Server Hosting of Game servers so the the settings need to be in favor of both. (So for question 4 would we need this because of the server? (I would think but I'm not 100%). For 2b I'm thinking D4 but I have no exact idea of what most of this stuff is.

Thanks Guys!,
Mike
