1.1 About ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology provides
high-speed data access across regular phone lines (copper wires) by
making use of previously unused frequency bandwidth above the
voice band. By placing the ADSL signal above the frequency of the
voice signal, ADSL service is able to coexist on the same line with
your telephone service. ADSL is asymmetric in the sense that it provides a higher data rate in the downstream (receive) direction than
in the upstream (transmit) direction. Asymmetric operation is ideal
for typical home and small office use where files and information are
downloaded more frequently than uploaded.
corega DSLAAU is capable of supporting the following DSL standards: ANSI T1.413 Issue 2, ITU G.992.1 (G.DMT), ITU G.992.2 (G.lite), and
ITU G.992 Annexes A, B, and C as applicable.
1.2 Protocol and Device Driver Selection
corega DSLAAU can be easily connected to a USB port on the PC via
a standard USB cable. corega DSLAAU is fully software upgradeable
so that new features and updates may be added by simply loading a
new version of the device driver onto your PC.
two types of device drivers are provided for corega DSLAAU, WAN,
and LAN. The proper choice of driver depends on the combination
of Windows operating system and protocol.
1. WAN driver – This driver causes the modem to resemble a dial-
up modem. Call establishment is performed through Dial-Up
Networking. This driver supports RFC 2364 and 2516 with PVC
connections. It can be used with Windows 98, Windows 98 SE,

Windows 2000, Windows Me, and Windows XP, MAC OS 9.x (RFC
2364 only), MAC OS X 10.1.x and above (RFC 2364 only), as well as
Linux.
2. LAN driver - This driver makes the modem appear as a LAN or
Ethernet device. Connection establishment is automatic. This driver
supports RFC 1483 with PVC connections. Additionally, PPPoE is
supported via third-party software. This driver can be used with
Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, Windows Me, and
Windows XP, MAC OS 9.x, MAC OS X 10.1.x and above, as well as
Linux.
