Depending on the Internet Access Provider, the SAGEM F@st™ 908/948 modem supports
three encapsulation modes:
• RFC 1483 bridge,
• RFC 1483 router DHCP.
• RFC 1483 router static IP.
If your Internet connection has to be set up in PPPoE mode, you must use RFC
1483 bridge encapsulation.
See section 3 - Connecting to the Internet.
Please refer to your Internet Access Provider (IAP) to ascertain which encapsulation mode
and Internet connection mode must be used on your ADSL line.
The BridgeMon diagnostics application allows you to check the status of the ADSL connection
and the data transfer rates.
For this, it must be installed on the computer connected to the SAGEM F@st™ 908 / 948. Its
installation is described in §.2.1 (Windows XP) and 2.2 (MacOS X).
