rate is 24 Mbit/s. The maximum uplink transmission rate is 1.2
Mbit/s.
z Strong network adaptability: The MT882 can interconnect
with multiple Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexers
(DSLAMs).
z Strong maintainability: The MT882 provides a number of
indicators, helping you to locate failures.
z Easy operation: The MT882 provides user-friendly interfaces
for configuration and management.

Chapter 2 Installation of the MT882

This chapter introduces the installation of the MT882.

2.1 Preparation

Before installing the MT882, prepare the following components:
z Ethernet card: The MT882 communicates with a computer
through an Ethernet card. Make sure that an Ethernet card is
installed on the computer before connecting the MT882 with
the computer.
z Splitter (optional): A splitter can separate the data signals
from the voice signals being transmitted over a telephone line.
Only with this component can you make a telephone call and
access the Internet at the same time.

2.2 Connecting the MT882

You can connect the MT882 according to Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1 Connecting the MT882
(1) PC (2) Phone (3) RJ-11 telephone line (4) Splitter (5) RJ-11 telephone line (6) Phone jack (7) RJ-11 telephone line
(8) MT882 (9) RJ-45 Ethernet cable
Caution:
Before connecting the MT882, power off the MT882 and the computer.
7
Operation:
1) Connect the interfaces of the splitter with other devices by
using a telephone line:
z LINE interface --> telephone jack on the wall
z MODEM interface --> ADSL interface of the MT882
z PHONE interface --> telephone
2) Connect the Ethernet interface of the MT882 with the
Ethernet interface of the computer by using a straight through
cable.
3) Connect the MT882 to a power socket by using the provided
power adapter.
4) Press the Power button of the MT882 to power on the
MT882.
5) Check the Power indicator on the front panel of the MT882.
If it is on, the MT882 is powered on.

2.3 Installing the USB Driver

You need to install the USB driver on your PC before using the
USB connection. The installation process of the USB driver varies on
different systems. The following provides instructions for three systems:
Linux, MAC OS 9/10, and Windows.
2.3.1

Installing the USB Driver in Linux

To install the USB driver in a Linux system, do as follows.
1) Start RedHat 8.0, and log in as root.
2) Copy the original codes to the usb_driver_for_linux
directory.
8
3) Execute the following commands:
# cd usb_driver_for_linux
# make
# make install
Note:
usb_driver_for_linux is the file name where you store the driver.
4) Edit file located on /etc/rc.d/rc.local, append two lines as
below:
insmod /usr/local/lib/trendchip/trendchip.o &>/dev/null &
ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.2 up &>/dev/null &
Note:
This step will make trendchip's driver be loaded automatically when
system startup.
5) Create a new file named ifcfg-eth1 in
/etc/sysconfig/networking/device/. We assume that you
already have an interface eth0. Add the following content in
the file.
USERCTL=no
9
PEERDNS=yes
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
TYPE=Ethernet
DEVICE=eth1
HWADDR=00:aa:bb:cc:00:01
BOOTPROTO=none
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=no
IPADDR=192.168.1.2
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
Note:
This step will create a new Ethernet interface eth1 and configure this
properties.
6) Create or modify the file named resolv.conf in
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/. Add the
following content:
nameserver <ip of your primary DNS>
nameserver <ip of your second DNS>
