The Megabit Modem 400F uses ATM over DMT ADSL technology to provide this high-speed transmission between the modem and the service provider. Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) provides transmission of fixed-size cells over preestablished connections for a network interface that is predetermined and always in place. The Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) provides rate-adaptive transmission which means that the service provider can deliver the best possible transmission rate to you based on distance and line conditions, in addition to providing phone service to you over the same single-pair line.

The Megabit Modem 400F is easy to install and configure. To install the modem:

•connect a telephone cable from the modem to a wall phone jack for ADSL service

•connect a cable from the modem to a PC or an Ethernet hub for LAN service

•connect a power cable to a local power source

To configure the modem, launch a Web browser on your PC and load the Megabit Modem Configuration and Management Tool Web pages that guide you through configuration. Use the Web page called EasySession™ to configure up to 32 simultaneous sessions with service providers. You can also configure other system parameters and monitor ADSL, LAN, and other networking functions using the Web pages.

LEDs on the modem front panel provide continual status at-a-glance for network and modem connections.
