Frequently Asked

Questions

This chapter provides the answers to the commonly asked

questions on ADSL modem.

What is ADSL ?

ADSL, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, is a broadband communication

technology designed for use on regular phone lines. It has the ability to move

data over the phone lines at speeds up to 140 times faster than the analog modem

available today.

Why is it called Asymmetric ?

It is called asymmetric because more bandwidth is reserved for receiving data

than for sending data. This is useful because many users of the Internet receive

much more data than they send.

How fast is ADSL ?

Depending on the level of service provided by your ADSL provider, your ADSL

modem has the potential to deliver data at speeds up to 8 Megabits per second

(Full Rate) or up to 1.5 Megabits per second (G.Lite) during download. 1.5Mbps

is more than 25 times faster than a 56.6Kbps modem!

Appendix B

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

B  Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of ADSL over analog modems ?

Besides the high-speed advantage, ADSL connection is always on. There is no

longer a need to log on and off, no more busy signals and no more waiting for the

connection to established - it is always there. On top of these, you can use the

phone even when the data connection is on. You do not need to switch between

surfing the Net and talking over the phone.

What is USB?

USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. It is a new peripheral bus standard developed

by PC and Telecom leaders. It allows connection for low to medium speed computer

peripherals. USB features high throughput I/O transfer rate of 12Mbit/sec and

support up to 127 devices.

How do I know which protocol to install?

Refer to your ADSL or ISP Service Provider.

Will my modem constantly connect near the maximum speed?

At ADSL speeds, the limitations are much more of the performance of the Internet

server you are trying to reach and the amount of traffic on the Internet.

Do I need to use Micro-Filter when using ADSL?

Yes, if you are sharing your DSL line with your telephone. The Micro-Filter would

eliminate noise on the telephone line to ensure the best possible networked phone

performance. If the DSL uses a different line and not sharing with your telephone,

then a Micro-Filter wouldnt be necessary.

What is the function of the Modem Browser?

The Modem Browser is an application that will monitor the line connectivity to the

ISP. It will show the transferring data rate as well as the CRC error rate during the

data transfer.

Appendix C

Troubleshooting Guide

This chapter provides a step-by-step guide to problems that you

may encounter when using your ADSL modem.

My system does not detect the network modem when I boot up for the first time.

Make sure that you are connected your modem as illustrated in Chapter 3 -

Connecting Your ADSL USB Modem.

If it doesnt work, try to plug-in your USB cable to another USB port of your

computer.

I received error message, Dial-up Networking could not complete the connection

to the server while connecting to my ADSL Service Provider.

Please make sure that:

i) You have entered the correct user ID and password as given by your ADSL

Service Provider.

ii) The In Use LED of the modem lights up before you do a dial-up.

iii) The correct protocol is used (check with your ADSL Service Provider) and your

modem driver is properly installed.

iv) The VCI / VPI settings are set correctly (check with your ADSL Service Provider).

○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○

C  Troubleshooting Guide

The phone line connecting to the modem caused interference .

Ensure all communication devices such as telephone and fax machine sharing

the same phone line as the modem are connected to the telephone jack via a

Micro-Filter.

The modem disconnects when an incoming call is received.

Ensure that you have connected a Micro-Filter to your telephone set as illustrated

on Chapter 3 - Connecting Your ADSL USB Modem.

File transfer through FTP is slow/not working.

From the desktop, right-click on Network Neighborhood and select Properties.

From the Configuration tab, select Dial-Up Adapter and click the Properties

button. From the Dial-Up Adapter Properties window, select the Advanced tab.

Select the IP Packet Size from the Property field. Set the Value to Medium.

Click OK.
