Before Installing
Gather Con guration Information from your ISP.
When con guring the X-Modem to work with a standard BT Wholesale
provided ADSL line the only con guration 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 passwords.
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.
Micro lters
Ensure you have enough ADSL micro lters for your line. At least one
micro lter 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 micro lter.
A micro lter 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 micro lters please visit www.adslnation.com
