ABOUT THE PRODUCT
1
You have purchased the ADC Megabit Modem 400F that
connects your Ethernet LAN to service providers for
instant and high-speed access to the Internet or to other
types of Wide Area Network (WAN) applications.
The modem provides this service over a single-pair
telephone line with downstream ADSL transmission up
to 7.552 Mbps. The upstream ADSL transmission is up

LINK
LAN

TX RX MAR
to 928 kbps. You can also receive telephone service over
the same single-pair line as your data.
The Megabit Modem 400F uses ATM over DMT ADSL technology to provide this high-speed
transmission between the modem and the service provider. Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM) provides transmission of fixed-size cells over preestablished connections for a network
interface that is predetermined and always in place. The Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
(ADSL) provides rate-adaptive transmission which means that the service provider can deliver
the best possible transmission rate to you based on distance and line conditions, in addition to
providing phone service to you over the same single-pair line.
The Megabit Modem 400F is easy to install and configure. To install the modem:
• connect a telephone cable from the modem to a wall phone jack for ADSL service
• connect a cable from the modem to a PC or an Ethernet hub for LAN service
• connect a power cable to a local power source
To configure the modem, launch a Web browser on your PC and load the Megabit Modem
Configuration and Management Tool Web pages that guide you through configuration. Use
the Web page called EasySession™ to configure up to 32 simultaneous sessions with service
providers. You can also configure other system parametersand monitor ADSL, LAN, and other
networking functions using the Web pages.
LEDs on the modem front panel provide continual status at-a-glance for network and modem
connections.

Chapter 2: What You Need To Start
Phone Service
If you get phone service with your data service, you need the following:
• A POTS splitter, or micro filter may be required; check with your service provider
• RJ-11 phone jacks for phone service
The POTS splitter is a device that separates data transmission from phone service. After
installing the POTS splitter, connect separate jacks for data from your session and for phone
service. Ensure that your service provider indicates which jacksare for dataand which jacks are
for phone service.
WHAT YOU NEED FROM YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER
This section lists the information you need to configure system settings and sessions for the
modem. Contact your service provider for this information. Use the worksheets, provided in
Appendix C on page 83, torecord yourconfiguration information. When you beginto configure
the modem in Chapter 4 on page 17, the procedures refer you to the proper table for the
configuration information that you recorded.
1 System mode (WAN connection for the sessions between the modem and the service
provider) utilizes Bridge/Router RFC 1483 protocol.
• Configure as a Bridge only, as a Router only, or as a Bridge and Router.
• Choose LLC or VC-MUX encapsulation.
• If Router, choose version of and direction for RIP (RIP1, RIP2, or RIP1 compatible).
• If Bridge, select whether or not to enable Spanning Tree.
2 Session address for Ports 1 through 32 (WAN configuration):
• ATM VPI and ATM VCI (specified for each session)
• IP address specified for each session by the service provider
For more information about the configuration choices listed above, see Chapter 9, “Technical
Reference” on page 61.
Megabit Modem 400F User Manual 9
What You Will Choose
WHAT YOU WILL CHOOSE
Before configuring the modem, consider the options in the “Configuration” section, below.
Also, ensure that you have the appropriate power cable for your facility as described below in
the section “Power Cable.”
