Overview

About ADSL

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology provides high-speed data access across regular phone lines (copper wires) by making use of previously unused frequency bandwidth above the voice band. By placing the ADSL signal above the frequency of the voice signal, ADSL service is able to coexist on the same line with your telephone service. ADSL is asymmetric in the sense that it provides a higher data rate in the downstream (receive) direction than in the upstream (transmit) direction. Asymmetric operation is ideal for typical home and small office use where files and information are downloaded more frequently than uploaded.

The USB ADSL Modem is capable of supporting the following DSL standards: ANSI T1.413 Issue 2, ITU G.992.1 (G.DMT), ITU G.992.2 (G.lite), and ITU G.992 Annexes A, B, and C as applicable.

Protocol and Device Driver Selection

The USB ADSL Modem can be easily connected to a USB port on the PC via a standard USB cable. The USB ADSL 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.

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 type of ATM connections are possible, PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) and SVC (Switched Virtual Circuit).
