What is ADSL?

ADSL provides high speed video and data communications to residences and

businesses over standard telephone lines. ADSL service is provided by connecting a

pair of very high speed modems to each end of the phone line; one in the central office

(ATU-C), and the other at the customer's premises (ATU-R).

Because ADSL is asymmetric, there is a measurable difference in the bit rate between

the upstream (how fast you can send data) and downstream (how fast you can receive

data) transmissions.

The 3Com HomeConnect ADSL Modem utilizes full rate, G.dmt, or lite, G.lite,

ADSL. The speed and type of DSL your modem uses, will be determined by the type

of service you have ordered from your DSL provider.

A typical ADSL installation will require either a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service)

Splitter or Micro filters to be used for your analog voice service. The use of these

devices enables simultaneous usage of normal telephone service and the modem, with

no interruption to the normal telephone service. Your DSL provider will normally

supply you with a Splitter or Micro filters and explain their usage.

Connecting to your Internet Provider

When your modem was installed, based upon the selections you made for your ISP or

DSL provider, the proper software for the operation of your modem was set up.

Normally, you require nothing further in order to connect to their service. If there are

further requirements, they are covered in documentation provided by your Internet

Service Provider(ISP).

Microsoft Dial-up Networking

The following information only applies if your modem was installed in such a way as

to use Microsoft Windows Dial-up Networking to connect to your ISP. Some providers

use Dial-up Networking to connect to their service, but don't require that your modem

be using it. (This is normally the case if the provider is using PPP over Ethernet

(PPPoE)). If your connection is set up in such a way as to require that your connect by

Dial-Up Networking, you may find that you need to modify the existing connection or

create another one. If so, follow these instructions.

The codes and settings necessary to set up the Dial-up connection should be in the

material supplied by your ISP.

Creating a Dial-up Connection

The following is the basic procedure. Screens and procedures may vary from those

shown slightly depending on the version of Windows you are using.

First, open Microsoft Windows Dial-Up Networking. This can be done through the

Start menu, by selecting the appropriate path:

Win9x: Start > Programs> Accessories >

Communications > Dial-Up Networking

WinMe: Start > Settings > Dial-Up Networking

Win2k: Start > Settings > Networking and Dial-Up

Networking

The Dial-Up Networking icon may look like one of the following two icons. (Note: In

Windows 2000, go directly to the next step.)

When you click on Dial-Up Networking, you will see an icon for Make New

Connection. Click on that.

This opens the following window.

Type in a name to identify the connection. This can be anything you choose.

Select the 3Com PCIA DSL Line 0 or 1 from the drop down list "Select a device" .

(There may be other numeric selections. That's ok.)

Press the Next button, which displays the following screen.

Don't use the Area Code field. In the Telephone number field, enter the VCI value

given to you by your Service Provider. Since you are establishing an ADSL

connection, you will not use a standard telephone number. Instead, the VCI value you

enter here will be used in conjunction with the VPI value you entered during setup of

the HomeConnect modem in order to establish the connection.

Press the Next button to complete the definition of the Service Profile connection.

Then click Finish to save the profile in your Dial-Up Networking folder. You can also

move a copy of this icon to the desktop if you like by clicking on it with the right

mouse button and dragging to the desktop.

Modifying the values of a Dial-up Connection

To modify the options that your Dial-up Connection is using, open the connection by

selecting its Properties. This is done by highlighting the connection in the Dial-up

Networking Folder and then either choosing Properties from the File menu or

right-clicking the mouse and selecting Properties from the pop-up menu. An example

is shown here:

The General properties screen allows you to choose/change the Modem you are using

for the connection and allows you to change the phone number.

Telephone number

This field should be set to the VCI for your connection.

This check box should NOT be checked. If it is, it may be modifying the Telephone

number field And therefore changing your VCI to something else.

Connect using

This list box allows you to change the name of the modem you are using to connect

with. For Your 3Com ADSL Modem you should have two choices. They are 3Com

PCIA DSL Line 0 and 3Com PCIA DSL Line 1.

Server Types Tab

The Server Types properties screen is used to set various options related to your

connection and to define the protocols you wish to use to talk to the computer you are

dialing.

Advanced Options

For many ISPs, you will want to check the boxes to Log on to Network, and also to

Enable software compression. Some prefer that you don't. Check with your provider.

Allowed Network Protocols

If you are connecting to the Internet then you must check the TCP/IP option as shown

above. (In general, unless you have been told otherwise by your Internet Provider or

Systems Administrator, this is the only option that you should have checked when

connecting to the Internet. IPX/SPX is used if you are connecting to a Novell Netware

LAN, and Netbeui refers to Microsoft Networking.)

The TCP/IP Settings button allows you to configure your specific TCP/IP settings for

this connection. This opens the following window.

Unless instructed by the Service Provider who gives you access to the Internet, do not

change any of these values.

Scripting Tab

Unless instructed by your Service Provider there is nothing here to modify or change.

Multilink

Unless instructed by your Service Provider there is nothing here to modify or change.

Dialing a Connection

To connect to your Network Provider, open up the Dial-Up Networking window, and

double-click on the connection you have defined. Enter in the User name and the

Password assigned to you by your service provider who gives you access to the

Internet. The Phone Number should be the VCI your service provider has given you

to establish a DSL connection.

Once you have entered in the User Name and Password, press the Connect button to

make the call.
