1 - Introduction

1.1 Overview

The SAGEM F@st™ 800 is an ADSL modem used to browse the Internet with ease at speeds of up to 8 Mbit/s. The modem's purpose is to transmit data between a terminal (PC or Mac) connected by a USB interface and an Internet Access Provider (IAP), via an ADSL link.

The SAGEM F@st™ 800 supports the following encapsulations:

• PPPoA in VCMUX mode,

• PPPoA in LLC mode,

• PPPoE in VCMUX mode,

• PPPoE in LLC mode.

The modem has the advantage of being powered via the USB interface and therefore does not needs a main power unit or a power cable.

The SAGEM F@st™ 800 has the following two interfaces:

! USB interface

! Remote network interface (ADSL)

Both interface ports are at the rear of the modem casing:

Type B

USB Connector

6-way RJ11 WAN Connector

There are two LEDs on the casing, the lefthand one labeled "ADSL" and the righthand one "PWR" (see Appendix A - Troubleshooting, for interpreting the LEDs).
