ADSL Ethernet Modem

ADSL Ethernet Modem

What You Need to Begin

You must verify that you have the following before you begin:

• A 10/100 Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) installed on your computer.

• An active DSL Internet account

• A line filter may be required for each telephone that will share a line with the ADSL modem. Make
sure there is no filter installed between the ADSL modem and the phone wall jack. Microfilters may
be supplied by your DSL Internet Service Provider.

Front View

The function of each LED is described below:
The PWR LED will be illuminated when power is applied to the ADSL modem.
The ALM LED will be illuminated when an error occurs.
The LAN LED will be illuminated when there is an Ethernet connection between the ADSL modem and your computer
and will be blinking when there is Ethernet traffic.
The DSL LED will be illuminated when there is an ADSL connection between the ADSL modem and the phone wall
jack or will be blinking when there is ADSL traffic.

Note: All the LEDs will be illuminated for approximately 30 seconds when you power on or reboot the ADSL modem.

Back View

The PWR jack is the power inlet for the ADSL modem.
The ENET port is used to connect the ADSL modem to the Ethernet port of the Ethernet card in your PC.
The CONSOLE port is used to connect the ADSL modem to the serial port on your computer for optional configura­tion.

The DSL port is used to connect the ADSL modem to your phone wall jack.

Connecting the ADSL Ethernet Modem

Connecting the ADSL Ethernet Modem

The following graphic is a representation of your system topology with the ADSL Ethernet Modem.

1

Connect one end of the RJ-11 phone cord to the DSL port on the rear of your ADSL modem. Connect
the other end of the RJ-11 phone cord to your wall phone jack.

2

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the ENET port on the rear of the ADSL modem. Connect the
other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the NIC in your PC.

3

Plug the AC power adapter cord into the PWR jack at the rear of the ADSL modem. Plug the AC power
adapter into a standard wall outlet. The ADSL modem is always supplied with power, so there is no
power switch to turn on. The PWR LED on the front panel of the ADSL modem will be illuminated if
power is being supplied to the modem. If your PC is not on, turn the PC on now.

2

Verification of Correct Operation

Verification of Correct Operation

Use the following procedures to verify the installation and operation of the ADSL modem. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section of this guide if any problems occur.

1

Launch an Internet browser on the PC connected to the ADSL modem.

2

Enter a URL of your choice or enter http://www.usr.com in your Web browser.

3

Watch the DSL LED on the front of the ADSL modem blink as data is transmitted or received. If the
selected Web page comes up in the Internet browser screen, the network connection is successfully
established.

After the Installation procedure, some DSL service providers may require that you configure your
ADSL Ethernet Modem. Check with your DSL service provider to see if they have pre-configured the
ADSL Ethernet Modem or if you will be required to. If you have to perform the configuration, refer to
the configuration section of the User Guide on the Installation CD-ROM for the correct instructions. If
your service provider has not pre-configured the modem, make sure you have the following informa­tion from your service provider:

• WAN Service Setting (PPP over ATM, PPP over Ethernet, RFC 1483 Bridged Mode, or RFC1483

Routed Mode)

• User Name and Password Information

• VPI/VCI Values and Encapsulation mode

• IP Information (DHCP or Static IP address, DNS Server, and Subnet Mask)

The information you need may be slightly different from what is listed above. Be sure to check with
your service provider about the exact information you require.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

None of the LEDs are illuminated when the ADSL modem is powered on.

Possible Solution:

Check the connection of the AC power adapter to the ADSL modem and to the wall outlet.

The initialization of the DSL connection failed.

Possible Solution:

Make sure that the DSL cable is properly connected in the DSL port on the rear of the ADSL modem
and in the phone wall jack in your home. The DSL LED on the front of the ADSL modem should be illu­minated.

Possible Solution:

Make sure that your VPI, VCI, type of encapsulation, and type of multiplexing settings match the infor­mation that was provided by your DSL service provider. Refer to the User Guide for more information.

I cannot connect to my ISP.

Possible Solution:

Check to see if the DSL LED on the front of the ADSL modem is illuminated. If it is not illuminated,
make sure that the DSL cable is properly connected in the DSL port on the rear of the ADSL modem
and in the phone wall jack in your home.

Possible Solution:

Check to see if the LAN LED on the front of the ADSL modem is illuminated. If it is not illuminated,
make sure that the Ethernet cable is properly connected in the ENET port on the rear of the ADSL
modem and in the Ethernet jack in your computer.

Possible Solution:

Make sure that your VPI, VCI, type of encapsulation, and type of multiplexing settings match the infor­mation that was provided by your DSL service provider. Refer to the User Guide for more information.

Possible Solution:

Verify that you have entered your correct login name and password for your DSL service provider.

Possible Solution:

Make sure that your TCP/IP property settings match the information supplied by your service provider.
Most service providers require that the computer obtain an IP address directly from the provider using
DHCP. On the network configuration control panel, click the Obtain IP address automatically button
and the Obtain DNS server address automatically button.
