Introducing DSL

Turbo 900 Package

1.1 Overview

Congratulations on your purchase of DSL Turbo 900 package!

DSL Turbo 900 package comes with a NC1100 10base-T Network Interface Card

(NC1100 NetCard) and a DSL Turbo 900 ADSL Bridge Modem (DSL Turbo 900).

NC1100 NetCard is a 10base-T PCI Network Card, offering 32-bit data path that

highly improves data transfer rate. The support of the full duplex function allows

simultaneous transmission and reception on the twisted-pair link to a full duplex

Ethernet switching hub. This feature not only increases the channel bandwidth

from 10 to 20 Mbps, but also avoids degrading performance due to channel

contention characteristic of the Ethernet Media Access Control CSMA/CD protocol.

DSL Turbo 900 uses the latest communication technology, ADSL (Asymmetric Digital

Subscriber Line) that offers faster and uninterrupted Internet access. It allows use

of real-time, interactive multimedia and broadcast-quality for services such as video-

on-demand, collaborative computing and distance learning.

DSL Turbo 900 is capable of data rate in both Full-Rate and G.Lite, with Full Rate

transmission at up to 8 Mbps downstream, 640 Kbps upstream1 and G.Lite

transmission at up to 1.5 Mbps downstream, 512 Kbps upstream1. Major features

include the following:

This section describes what DSL Turbo 900 package contains.

The actual downstream and upstream rates will depend on the service package offered by your

ADSL Service Provider.

1. Introducing DSL Turbo 900 Package

ADSL Protocols Support

To ensure the broadest customer reach, DSL Turbo 900 features multiple data

encapsulation formats for DSL transport over ATM PVCs, including the widely

supported ADSL protocol RFC 1483 (Ethernet Over ATM).

Compatibility (Interoperability)

Multimode ADSL support: ANSI T1.143 Issue 2, ITU-T G.992.1 (G.dmt) and

G.992.2 (G.Lite). DSL Turbo 900 uses discrete Multi-tone (DMT) line encoding

scheme which is also used by major ADSL equipment manufacturers, thus further

guarantees interoperability with network service providers worldwide.

2.4 Safety Precaution

2.4.1 For NC1100 NetCard

• Do not remove your card from its protective bag until you are ready to install

it.

• Always try to hold your card by its edges. Avoid touching any electronic

components on your card.

• Static electricity can cause permanent damage to your card. To prevent such

a damage, you must ground yourself during the installation:

» Use a grounding strap - a coiled wire with a clip at one end and an

elastic strap at the other. Wear the strap around your wrist and attach

the clip to any non-painted metal surface of your computer chassis.

» If you do not have a grounding strap, touch any non-painted surface

of your computer chassis before you begin installation, and again every

minute or so until the installation is completed.

2.4.2 For DSL Turbo 900

• Switch off the modem and adapter when the modem is not in use.

• During times of lightning/thunderstorms, do not use the modem.

• Keep the modem away from water and direct sunlight.

• Do not introduce any foreign material to the modem through the ventilation

slits (e.g. by dropping foreign items or poking into the slits).

2.5 Installation Notes

• The graphics and screens illustrations shown in this easy start may differ from

what you see in your system, but the steps still apply.

• A Philips screwdriver is required for installation of your Network Card.

• The documentation for your computer should come in handy during the

Network Card installation. Have it ready by your side.
