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:
• RFC 1483 bridged in VCMUX mode,
• RFC 1483 bridged in LLC mode,
• RFC 1483 routed in VCMUX mode,
• RFC 1483 routed 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).

2.1 Connecting the modem
!
CAUTION
Do not connect your modem to your computer with the USB cable before you have installed the
drivers from the CD-ROM.
Only use the "ADSL" line cable supplied with the SAGEM F@st™ 800 for the connection to the
remote network.
The 3 m line cable is terminated at both ends with RJ11 connectors.
The connections must be made in the following order:
1
Connect one end of the line cable to the telephone socket
2 Connect the other end of the line cable to the LINE connector on the modem
If using an input splitter or microfilters, their outputs must also be fitted with RJ11 connectors. If
not, contact your Operator for an adapter or a specific cable.
3
Connect the "flat" connector at one end of the USB cable to one of the type
A USB ports on the computer (or on the HUB if appropriate), marked with
the following symbol:
4 Connect the "square" connector at the other end of the USB cable to the USB connector
on the rear panel of the modem, when prompted by the driver installation software.

3.2 Connecting / Disconnecting to / from the Internet
3.2.1 Connecting to the Internet
To connect to the Internet, you must configure your computer.
The Internet connection procedure differs according to the way your modem operates (routed
RFC 1483 or bridged RFC 1483). This information will be given to you by your Internet Service
Provider (ISP).
Your computer's configuration may differ slightly according to the operating system
installed (Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows 98FE or
Windows 98SE). These differences mainly concern the wording of the menus and
commands and the way the windows appear.
In Windows XP, for example, proceed as follows:
3.2.1.1 In routed RFC 1483 mode (LLC or VCMUX)
The procedure described below is for configuring the IP and DNS parameters and
making the Internet connection permanent. This procedure will be required just once.
For subsequent connections, you will simply need to open your browser and connect
to the Internet.
1 Select Start, Control panel, Network
and Internet Connections, and the
following screen appears.
Click Network connections.

3.2.1.2 In bridged RFC 1483 mode (LLC or VCMUX)
!
If your modem is operating in bridged RFC 1483 mode (LLC or VCMUX), you
must use a PPPoE connection program (not supplied with the product) to
connect to the Internet.
Only Windows XP includes a native PPPoE communication stack. For the other
versions of Windows, you should contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or
install on your computer one of the solutions available on the market (Enternet
300 or RasPPPoE, for example).
The Windows XP PPPoE layer is used to connect to the Internet.
The procedure is in two stages:
- Configuring Internet access (steps 1 to 9),
- Connection proper (steps 10 and 12).
1 Select Start, Control panel, Network
and Internet Connections, and the
following screen appears.
Click Network connections.
2
The connection screen appears.
Click "Create a new connection" in
the "Networks Tasks" area,
or select File / New connection in the
menu bar.
