Telepermit Information

DSE XH9949 ADSL Router PTC 272/06/044

PTC200 General Warning

1. The grant of a Telepermit for any item of terminal equipment indicates only that Telecom has accepted that the item complies with minimum conditions for connection to its network. It indicates no endorsement of the product by Telecom, nor does it provide any sort of warranty. Above all, it provides no assurance that any item will work correctly in all respects with another item of Telepermitted equipment of a different make or model, nor does it imply that any product is compatible with all of Telecom's network services.

The Service Covered by this Telepermit

2. This Telepermit shows that this DSE XH9949 ADSL Router is suitable for connection to Telecom’s existing ADSL1 service. This service is defined by the specification PTC270. When compliance with the specification is proved a PTC272 Telepermit is issued for each product. This Telepermit does not show suitability for connection to a

XH9949 – DSE ADSL Router 4-Port

new ADSL service when Telecom introduces it. Telecom will require proof of compliance with a new PTC specification when the new service is introduced.

ADSL2 & ADSL2+ Services

3. ADSL2 and ADSL2+ services are only available from the network of the ADSL Service Provider. Telecom does not currently provide either service to customers from its Broadband network. When Telecom introduces ADSL2 and/or ADSL2+ services this Wireless Router has not been proven suitable for connection to it.

Routers and Power Supply

4. This DSE XH9949 ADSL Router must be connected to the Telecom network using the AC-AC Power Adaptor that it was tested with in Telelab limited Test Report number 1248, testing date 8 November 2006. Failure to do so could negate the Telepermit as untested power supplies may affect the routers operation.

This DSE XH9949 ADSL Router on Long Lines

5. This DSE XH9949 ADSL Router may not achieve the type of “high speed” operation expected when attached to a line that is longer than intended by the ITU-T G996.1 ADSL standard i.e. >4 km of 0.4mm cable or a shorter cable length with several tails or multiples. If the Router is installed in such conditions and does not give the expected “download” performance, then do not refer the matter to the Telecom Fault Service or ADSL Helpdesk.

User Instructions (1) for This DSE XH9949 ADSL Router

6. When distributed to Broadband users attached to the Telecom network the User Instructions for setting up this DSE XH9949 ADSL Router must not contain any information that relates to setting up the router on another companies network. Such information is confusing for the new customer and causes excessive calls to the Jetstream Helpdesk.

2 Software

2.1 Driver CD Contents

On the Driver CD you will find a selection of applications outlined in the forward table. The bundled software applications fall into 3 categories:

1. OEM – software that DSE has paid for and for which you are able to use subject to the manufacturer or authors license terms. In all cases, you are not permitted to redistribute copies of this software. In many cases OEM software does not provide the full functionality of the equivalent retail product. It does however perform it’s primary task – the additional features are usually nice to have but not necessary for operation.

2. FREEWARE – software that has been released for anyone to copy, distribute and use subject to the authors license terms.

SHAREWARE or TRIAL – software that is limited in time and or functionality and is subject to the manufacturer or authors license terms. This is a common way for manufacturers to showcase their product. Generally you can make copies and redistribute this sort of software however you should check the license terms before doing so.

3 Setting up ADSL Broadband Service

3.1 Make sure ADSL service is activated

Note: Before you can use any ADSL modem or router, you must confirm that the following conditions have been met.

• Make sure that you are located within about 5km of an ADSL enabled phone exchange and you can get Telecom’s ADSL service. This can be checked on-line on Telecom’s Website or by calling Telecom on 0800 253 878.

• Make sure that Telecom has enabled the ADSL service to your house or office. This can be facilitated by your preferred ISP or directly with Telecom

• Because ADSL and voice works on the same phone line at the same time, you need to install ADSL filter/s on each of your normal Telephone devices or contact Telecom on 123 to arrange for someone to install a central splitter.

• You need to have an account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to enable your new ADSL line to connect to the Internet. DSE Stores are able to sign up new users to ADSL with choice of a number of ISPs and plans

3.2 Configure your phone equipment

ADSL works by combining both voice and data signals on the same phone line. At your premises, these signals need to be separated through the use of an approved Filter or Splitter. Whilst both achieve the same results, each has their pros and cons.

XH9949 – DSE ADSL Router 4-Port

3.2.1 Option 1: Install ADSL Filter(s) yourself

• All telephone equipment must be filtered in an ADSL installation. This includes corded &

cordless phones, answering machines, faxes, caller display units, analogue modem (including such devices as a Sky digital decoder with integrated modem), dedicated dialers, Etc. Filtering telephone equipment is as simple as plugging the XH7556 or XH8556 DSE ADSL filter in-line with the device/s.

• Your ADSL modem or router will be the only device that can connect directly to your jack

point. However should an adaptor be required between the plug on the modem cord and the jack point, or you wish to connect telephone equipment to the same jack point, the XH7556 DSE ADSL filter can be used by plugging the router or modem into the “ADSL” socket.

• Do not plug an ADSL modem or router into the “PHONE” socket if the modem cord has this

type of plug.

• It is important that the filter is connected the right way around.

 The lead coming out of the side marked “LINE” is plugged into the telephone JP  Non-ADSL telephone equipment then plugs into the “PHONE” socket on the filter  The ADSL Modem or Router plugs into the “ADSL” socket on the filter.

• Up to 5 filters can be used on a single telephone line. If you need to install more than 5 filters,

a central splitter must be installed by Telecom.

• If you need to connect more than one item of telephone equipment at the same jack point,

then a double adaptor can be plugged into the “PHONE” socket of this filter.

• If the Line Filter has a RJ11 “ADSL” socket incorporated. Only ADSL modems or routers

may be plugged into this socket.

CAUTION: Failure to connect ALL telephone type equipment via a filter will result in loss of the data link whenever a call is made or answered. In many cases the link will also be lost when a call is received, even if it is not answered.

3.2.2 Option 2: Have an ADSL splitter professionally installed

• Contact Telecom on 123 to arrange for a technician to be sent out to install a central splitter.
