4. Configuring the ADSL Modem
4.1COM Port Configuration

For advanced modem management, use a serial cable to connect the Console port on the ADSL modem to your PC’s empty COM port. (See the illustration in 3.3 Connecting the ADSL Modem.) Open a VT100 terminal emulation program such as NetTerm or Windows’ HyperTerminal to configure the COM port. (The setup under HyperTerminal is given as an example below.)

In Windows, click Start, Programs, Accessories, Communications, and then select HyperTerminaI. When the HyperTerminal window appears, double click on the HyperTerminal icon to run it. If you cannot find it, add the program using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

Recommended COM Port Settings:

Bit Rate: 9600 bps

Data Bits: 8

Parity Check: None

Stop Bit: 1

Flow Control: None

1.When HyperTerminal is started, you will be prompted to establish a new connection. Follow the onscreen instruction.

2.For ADSL connections, you do not have to enter dial-up information. Simply choose the COM port that you are using and then click OK.

3.Configure the COM port as shown below.
