4 Hardware and software requirements
To setup a connection to the Internet you need the following (consult your Internet
service provider if needed):
• Activated analogue XDSL-line (Annex A, XDSL via POTS telephone line
for the 445A,
• Activated Annex B XDSL line (Annex B XDSL via ISDN line for the 450I)
• Activated XDSL-account
• Username and password, if you use a PPPoA- or PPPoE-connection.
• VPI / VCI – values.
• Internet (network) protocol. (PPPoA, PPPoE, Bridged Ethernet over ATM
or Routed Ethernet over ATM)
• Encapsulation protocol. (LLC/SNAP or VCMUX)
• XDSL-splitter (for using the Internet and the telephone at the same time)
Notice: Without the above data, your XDSL-modem will not function and

Notice: The Trust 445A does not function on an analogue telephone line
(POTS, PSTN), also called XDSL Annex A.
Notice: The Trust 450I only functions on an ISDN line, also called XDSL
Annex B.
5 Getting Started with XDSL
XDSL uses your existing analogue telephone line or digital ISDN-line. This means
the XDSL-signal and your existing telephone- or ISDN-signal enter your home
through the same cable. These two signals should be separated from each other if
you want to be able to keep on using your telephone.
This separation of the two signals is done via a filter/splitter. A filter causes the
telephone signal to be filtered from the XDSL-/telephone connection. Without a filter,
you can hear the XDSL-data traffic on your telephone line. The splitter causes two
connections, one for the telephone, and one for the XDSL. The splitter is fixed to the
origin of the incoming line. The splitter goes to the XDSL -modem and the existing
telephone or, for ISDN, to the existing ISDN (NT1) - converter. Whether you received
this filter/ splitter or not depends on the subscription your Internet Service provider or
XDSL-supplier has sold to you. If you did not receive a splitter, your telephone will
not be useable while you are connected to the Internet. You can purchase a splitter
in any shop that sells telephones and accessories.
There are three types of XDSL:
Annex A – XDSL via analogue telephone, also called POTS or PSTN-line.
Annex B – XDSL via ISDN.
(Annex C – is mainly used in Japan, not in Europe.)
The choice of Annex A or B depends on the subscription you have with your Internet
Service Provider (ISP). Consult your ISP to determine which type of XDSL-line you
have.
If your XDSL line is an Annex A line you should use:
TRUST 445A SPEEDLINK XDSL WEB STATION
(Item no.13521, 13522(UK))
If your XDSL line is an Annex B line, you should use:
TRUST 450I SPEEDLINK XDSL WEB STATION (Item no. 13523)
Notice: Although you always have used an ISDN-line for your telephone calls,
your XDSL-subscription is not necessarily Annex B. Always consult
your ISP to determine the type of XDSL line.

7 Connecting
This chapter explains how to connect the XDSL station to your computer and to the
XDSL line.
7.1 Connecting to the computer
The XDSL station can be connected either to a network plug or to the USB port of a
computer. Both options are discussed below.
Notice: If you have a network plug on your computer you should connect the
XDSL station to it.
Tip: The XDSL station is ‘hot-swappable’. This means you can connect or
disconnect the XDSL station while your computer is turned on.
