1.2 About the HM220d ADSL modem

The Ericsson HM220d ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) modem provides
broadband services into your home using your existing telephone line.

Ericsson's HM220d ADSL modems comes in two versions: HM220dp and HM220di.
Both products offer the same features, but they do relay on different types of phone lines
to provide the ADSL service. HM220dp offers ADSL service over the Plain Old
Telephone System or POTS lines, while HM220di uses the Integrated Services Digital
Network or ISDN lines to provide the ADSL service.

Introduction

8 (87) EN/LZT1083982 R4

2000-12-07

The overwhelming majority of telephone connections in the world are based on POTS. If
you have a "normal" or analog telephone in your home, HM220dp is the right modem for
you. On the other hand, if you have an ISDN or digital phone, you will need HM220di. If
you are not sure which version is the right one for you, please contact your service
provider.

The modem sends and receives very high-speed signals via the regular telephone
network, using Discrete Multi-tone (DMT) Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) transmission.
HM220d utilizes the expanded capacity of ADSL-ready telephone lines to handle
Internet and multimedia data, while allowing you to make and receive phone calls on the
same line.

When installing the HM220d ADSL modem, you have the option of connecting it to your
computer with either a USB connection (if supported by your computer) or an Ethernet
connection. The plug-and-play aspect of USB simplifies installation, requiring only a
cable plug-in and the installation of a driver (supplied on the CD-ROM). An Ethernet
connection, which requires that a Network Interface Card (NIC) be installed on your
computer, allows you to connect multiple computers to a single modem.

Once you are connected, a simple press of the PipeLock button (located on top of the
modem) guarantees the security of your computer. When PipeLock is activated, the
modem remains logged on to the network, but direct communication between your
computer and the outside world is blocked. This prevents outsiders from gaining access to
any information on your computer, even when you are not there. To resume Internet
access, simply press the PipeLock button again.

Time and technological development never stand still. Ericsson will keep you updated
with the latest technology, and let you download the latest software update.

1.3 Package contents

Your package should contain all the components listed below. If anything is missing or
damaged, please contact the dealer/service provider from whom the equipment was
purchased.

• The HM220d ADSL modem

• A power supply adapter with connecting cable

• Telephone/ADSL cable

• Ethernet cable

• USB cable

• Quick Guide

• CD-ROM containing the printable User Guide and other utilities.

1.4 Placement of the modem

The HM220d ADSL modem can be mounted to the wall, or simply placed on a flat
surface.

Introduction

EN/LZT1083982 R4 9 (87)
2000-12-07

Pick a location for the HM220d ADSL modem that:

• enables you to view the LEDs on top of the modem

• allows you to reach and press the PipeLock button on top of the modem

• is close to a power outlet, phone jack, and the computer (PC) to facilitate connections

to these devices

• does not restrict air flow around the modem

• allows plenty of room for cables to be routed from the back of the modem without

crimping the cables

1.4.1 Wall mounting instructions

The modem is mounted to the wall using two screws and the two mounting slots on the
bottom of the unit.

Follow the step-by-step instructions below to mount the modem to the wall:
1 Insert and secure screws to the wall at a distance of 100 mm (3,9"). If needed, drill

holes and insert plastic anchors or toggles first.
The screws should not be secured flush to the wall. Leave a gap of approximately

1/4" from the wall surface to the bottom of the screw head.

2 Slip the HM220d ADSL modem slots over the screw heads and pull down until the

unit is seated securely. A slight adjustment to the screws may be necessary to provide
a snug fit to the wall.

1.5 Filter installation

To maintain normal phone service, a special filter may need to be installed at your home.
This filter, sometimes called a splitter, splits the voice (phone) signal from the ADSL
(data) signal.

Set-up and installation charges for ADSL service typically include the filter installation.
If you are not sure if a filter needs to be installed, contact your service provider.

2 Installation using Ethernet (for Windows 95 or

higher PCs)

This chapter describes the installation and configuration process using the Ethernet
interface in Windows 95 (or higher) PCs.

The Ethernet interface is used for those computers which do not have a USB interface, or
for networking multiple computers on the same broadband line.

This requires a Network Interface Card (NIC). The NIC must be installed in the computer
and the computer must be configured for TCP/IP. When this option is used, a standard
Ethernet cable carries data between the modem and the computer. An Ethernet interface,
used in conjunction with a hub, allows you to link up multiple computers to a single
HM220d ADSL modem.

2.1 System requirements

To successfully connect and install the HM220d ADSL modem to the Ethernet
connection you will need the following:

• An ADSL-ready telephone line

• 133 MHz Processor and 16 MB RAM.

• 10Base-T Network Interface Card

• CD-ROM drive

• Windows® 95 or higher.

• Internet browser - Internet Explorer 4.06 (or higher) or Netscape Navigator 4.5 (or

higher).

From the package you will need the following:

• The modem

• Telephone/ADSL cable

• Ethernet cable

• The power supply adapter with connecting cable.

To connect your HM220d ADSL modem via the Ethernet interface, follow these steps:
1 Connect one end of the Telephone/ADSL cable to the modem's ADSL port and the

other end to the ADSL service port (wall jack or splitter/filter).

2 Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the ETHERNET port on the back of the

modem and connect the other end to the Ethernet 10Base-T network card on your
computer.

3 Connect the Power cable to the POWER connector on the back of the modem. Plug

the power supply adapter into a power source.

Figur 1: Connect via Ethernet interface

Assuming the modem has been connected properly, the modem will enter the power-up
diagnostics state and verify the integrity of the hardware and software. Please refer to
chapter 6.3 Operational states, for further information. When this happens all of the LEDs
(light-emitting diodes) on top of the modem will turn ON briefly.

When the Power, Ethernet and ADSL LEDs have turned solid yellow, the modem is
ready for operation.
