DRIVER INSTALLATION

The CD that comes with the package contains all the software drivers available for the EZ Connect ADSL USB Modem. A RELEASE.TXT file that describes the contents of the CD is in the root directory. LAN, WAN and ATM modem drivers are stored in separate subdirectories. Select the driver you need for your system.

This modem is fully software upgradeable so that new features and updates may be added by simply loading a new version of the device driver onto your PC. Any new or updated drivers can be downloaded from SMC’s Web site at http://www.smc.com.

The modem drivers that can be used under specific Windows operating systems are shown on page 3-4. Installation procedures are described in text files on the driver disk. However, installation and configuration is described in more detail in this manual.

Protocol and Device Driver Selection

ADSL modems employ ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) framing. ATM is a protocol that divides packets into small fixed sized cells for rapid transmission over high-speed networks. The ATM protocol allows various types of traffic (e.g., data, voice, and video) to be securely and efficiently carried over the same network. ATM is being widely deployed by telecommunications carriers in their backbone networks. Two types of ATM connections are possible, PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) and SVC (Switch Virtual Circuit). The EZ Connect ADSL USB Modem currently only supports the PVC connections types through WAN, LAN and ATM
