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.

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:

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.

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
