X-Modem and LiveIP 2 Technology
The X-modem’s built-in Ethernet connectivity eliminates the need for
specialist drivers allowing the modem to be connected to an Ethernet
equipped computer for instant use.
The X-Modem works on any ADSL service that uses PPPoA or PPPoE that
provides a single static or dynamic IP address.
In the default conguration the X-Modem employs advanced LiveIP 2
technology that provides the single public IP address issued by the ISP to
your computer. This makes the X-Modem the perfect solution for people
who wish to maintain a publicly available live connection to the internet.
LiveIP technology makes the X-Modem an ideal companion to Wireless
Broadband Routers and Firewall Appliances equipped with Ethernet inter-
faces.
In order to ensure the X-modem is exible enough to be used in a wide
variety of situations we also include an optional gateway mode to enable
the modem to be installed on a network.
X-Modem M3 Overview
Front Panel
The front panel of the X-modem includes four LED indicators to help
determine the modem status.
ADSL: Illuminates when the an ADSL signal has been detected on the line.
A ashing LED indicates that the modem is probing for an ADSL signal.
LAN: Illuminated when a Ethernet connection has been established on the
modem’s Ethernet port.
DATA: Flashes when data is being sent and recieved.
POWER: Shows that power is being received by the modem.
Rear Panel
LINE: Telephone jack (RJ-11) to connect to your Telephone Wall
Socket (ADSL line).
LAN: 10 / 100 Base-T Ethernet jack (RJ-45) to connect to your
Ethernet Network card.
RESET: To reset your Modem to factory default settings. (All
Customised settings that you have saved will be lost!)
POWER: To connect to your Power Outlet via the supplied Power Adaptor.
Before Installing
Gather Conguration Information from your ISP.
When conguring the X-Modem to work with a standard BT Wholesale
provided ADSL line the only conguration information required is the
username and password. For Karoo installations and non UK installations
please refer to the advanced settings section of this guide.
Note: Your ISP should have provided you with a summary sheet of all the
information needed to connect your computer to the Internet. If you
cannot locate the information, you’ll have to contact your ISP. BT
Broadband provide a Login name only and do not issue a password.
LOGIN NAME: ___________________________________
PASSWORD: _____________________________________
Note: The login name could be called a user name or account name by
your ISP. The login name and password are case sensitive. You must type
them exactly as given by the ISP.
Computer requirements
The computer that you want to connect to the X-modem to, must have
an available RJ-45 Ethernet port (or adapter) and TCP/IP networking
installed.
Note: TCP/IP networking is already installed on most Microsoft Windows
and MacOS computers.
Microlters
Ensure you have enough ADSL microlters for your line. At least one
microlter will be required to connect the modem and any existing
telephone equipment to. If other telephone equipment is used on the line
it must also be connected to a microlter.
A microlter prevents high frequency noise from appearing at the
telephone and potentially decreasing voice quality. Second, it prevents
the telephone equipment from interfering with the modem. For more
information on microlters please visit www.adslnation.com
Connecting the X-Modem to a Computer/Notebook
To connect the X-Modem to your Computer/Notebook, you need to have
an Ethernet port available on your Computer/Notebook. Most Computers/
Notebooks have labels describing the Ports. For the Ethernet Port, you will
see either ETHERNET, ETH, RJ45 or <--> labelled near the Port.
Connecting to the ADSL Line
Connect the RJ11 (phone) cable provided the ADSL to the ADSL/Modem
port of the ADSL Microlter and then connect the opposite end of the
cable to the Line port on the X-Modem.
Plug the microlter in to the telephone socket and connect any telephone
equipment to the phone port on the Microlter.
Note: You will need to ensure that all telephone equipment on the same
line as your X-Modem is also connected to a Microlter. If you do not
have enough microlters remove any unltered telephone equipment.
Microlters can be found in most computer shops or available to order on-
line at www.adslnation.com.
Connect the power to the modem, if an ADSL signal is detected the LINK
LED will illuminate and remain solid green. If the LINK LED continues to
ash the modem is unable to locate a usable ADSL signal. This may be
because the line has not been enabled for ADSL or that a fault condition
has occurred such as an unltered telephone device causing interference
on the line. The ADSL light must be illuminated sold green before
proceeding with the set-up procedure.
