Software Installation and Configuration

Windows will automatically detect new hardware when it is added to the computer. The Add New Hardware Wizard will appear to guide you through the Software Installation.

In order for the Modem to work you must configure it properly. The following sections show you the steps. You must enter the proper configurations for the DSLAM. You will enter one of the following:

•VPI

•VCI

•Framing Method

•ADSL Mode

The Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) is a machine at the phone company’s central office that links many DSL connections to a single high speed Internet connection. Please refer to your DSL provider’s documentation for information on the settings you should use. If you have questions about these settings, contact your DSL provider. Your DSL provider can tell you the specific configurations that you need.

Install Software Driver

For Windows 95, 98/98SE, 2000 and ME users, the device will be detected when you restart the PC. The Plug-and-Play installation will walk you through the entire process. Follow the installation steps in this guide for the operating system you are using. Windows NT 4.0 does not support the Plug-and-Play feature but you can use the step-by-step instructions in this installation guide.

The drivers for the device are specific to the Windows operating system with which they are used. The following table lists the names of the driver folders each operating system and protocol.
