NTRODUCTION

The EZ Connect ADSL USB Modem provides high-speed Internet access over existing phone lines by making use of previously unused frequency bandwidth above the voice band. By placing

ADSL signals above the frequency of the voice signal, ADSL service can coexist on the same line with your telephone service.

ADSL is asymmetric in that it provides a higher data rate in the downstream (receive) direction than in the upstream (transmit) direction. Asymmetric operation is ideal for typical home and small office use where files and information are downloaded more frequently than uploaded.

The EZ Connect ADSL USB Modem supports both full-rate Discrete

Multi-Tone (G.dmt) connection (T1.413, Issue II) and the more economical G.lite connection (G.992.2). This modem delivers concurrent data and voice over a single connection. It also supports a Rate Adaptive algorithm to maintain high data integrity under existing conditions, including varied connection lengths and degraded signal quality. And because all data is encapsulated in

ATM frames, the EZ Connect ADSL USB Modem can be connected directly to any standards-compliant DSL Access Multiplexer

(DSLAM) at your service provider’s central office, data is then sent through an ATM backbone, and out to the Internet via an ISP router. Moreover, there’s no need to install any new lines.

This plug-in ADSL modem provides an always-on digital connection that eliminates dial-up delays, and transparent reconnection when initiating any network request. Full support for the ATM protocol also provides access to a wide range of advanced transport features, including support for real-time video,

NTRODUCTION

and other multimedia services requiring guaranteed Quality of

Service (QoS). This device enables true telecommuting for the first time by providing complete access to Internet and corporate resources via multiprotocol encapsulation (including TCP/IP,

Novell’s IPX, and Windows NetBEUI network protocols).

Note: Since this modem supports both G.dmt and G.lite, it requires an external splitter to separate the traffic entering your premises into data and voice, and also to merge the data and voice traffic leaving your premises into a single stream.

Key Features

• High-speed Internet access over existing phone lines

• Full-rate DMT connection (8 Mbps downstream, 1 Mbps upstream) and economical G.lite connection (1.5 Mbps downstream, 512 Kbps upstream)

• Multiprotocol encapsulation of all network protocols, including

TCP/IP, Novell’s IPX, and Windows NetBEUI for complete access to the Internet and corporate resources

• Always-on digital connection eliminates dial-up delays, and transparent reconnection when initiating any network request

• Concurrent data and voice over a single connection (needs splitter for both G.dmt and G.lite)

• Interoperable with Alcatel, Cisco and other DSLAM central office equipment manufacturers

• Compatible with various ISP services, using RFC 1483 static IP assignment or PPP dynamic IP assignment

• Graphic interface for ADSL connection management

The CD that comes with the package contains all the software drivers available for the EZ Connect ADSL USB Modem. A

RELEASE.TXT file that describes the contents of the CD is in the root directory. LAN, WAN and ATM modem drivers are stored in separate subdirectories. Select the driver you need for your system.

This modem is fully software upgradeable so that new features and updates may be added by simply loading a new version of the device driver onto your PC. Any new or updated drivers can be downloaded from SMC’s Web site at http://www.smc.com.

The modem drivers that can be used under specific Windows

operating systems are shown on page 3-4. Installation procedures

are described in text files on the driver disk. However, installation and configuration is described in more detail in this manual.

Protocol and Device Driver Selection

ADSL modems employ ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) framing. ATM is a protocol that divides packets into small fixed sized cells for rapid transmission over high-speed networks. The

ATM protocol allows various types of traffic (e.g., data, voice, and video) to be securely and efficiently carried over the same network.

ATM is being widely deployed by telecommunications carriers in their backbone networks. Two types of ATM connections are possible, PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) and SVC (Switch Virtual

Circuit). The EZ Connect ADSL USB Modem currently only supports the PVC connections types through WAN, LAN and ATM

RIVER

I

NSTALLATION

3-2 drivers.

Several different protocols are used on top of ATM. The protocol required in your configuration depends on the equipment deployed by your DSL service provider. There are several possibilities:

• Point to Point Protocol (PPP) Over ATM (RFC 2364) - PPP provides session setup, user authentication (login), and encapsulation for upper layer protocols such as IP (Internet

Protocol). The use of PPP makes the modem appear as a dial- up modem to the operating system. Dial-Up Networking under

Windows is used to establish a connection. PPP is supported by the WAN (Wide Area Network) driver and ATM driver.

• Bridged/Routed Ethernet/IP over ATM (RFC 1483) - This protocol makes the modem appear as a local area network

(LAN) device to the operating system.

• Classical IP and ARP over ATM (RFC 1577) - This protocol also makes the modem appear as a local area network (LAN) device to the operating system. It supports IP address and ATM address mapping.

Three types of device drivers are provided for the EZ Connect

ADSL USB Modem, WAN, ATM and LAN. Note that all three drivers support the ATM protocol. The proper choice of driver depends on your combination of Windows operating system and protocol.

• WAN driver - this driver causes the modem to resemble a dial-up modem. Call establishment is performed through

Windows Dial-Up Networking. This driver supports PPP (RFC

2364) with PVC connections.

• LAN driver - this driver makes the modem appear as a LAN or

Ethernet device. Connection establishment is automatic. This driver supports Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM (RFC

1483) with PVC connections.

Microsoft Windows has an auto-detect feature, known as “Plug and Play,” that is capable of identifying when new hardware has been installed. After you run the setup program, reboot your PC, and then connect the EZ Connect ADSL USB Modem to your PC.

1. Insert the rectangular end of a USB cable into the USB port of your PC, and the square end of the cable into the USB port of the USB modem. It will be detected automatically and messages will be displayed as the modem software is installed.

2. For Windows 2000 applications, the “Digital Signature Not

Found” window may appear warning that the installation software is not a digitally signed version. A digital signature is not necessary; SMC has tested the software with Windows

2000. Click Yes to allow the installation to continue. (We will be releasing a digitally signed version of the driver in the near future.)

3. For Windows 2000 applications, the “Found New Hardware

Wizard” window indicates the modem has been installed and suggests you reboot the system to have new settings take effect. Click Finish.

4. A message will be displayed confirming that you want to reboot the system, click Yes.

5. Once the PC has rebooted, installation of the EZ Connect ADSL

USB Modem is complete.

ROUBLESHOOTING

Check the following troubleshooting points before contacting SMC

Technical Support.

You Cannot Connect to the Network

• Check the phone and USB cables for wear or loose wires; and replace any defective cables if necessary. Make sure the cable is securely attached to the modem’s RJ-11 port; and that the modem is connected to your ADSL service provider via an RJ-11 wall socket or splitter.

• If your PPP connection fails to respond, hang up and dial again.

PPP may fail to connect when you first dial in due to synchronization problems.

• If the Data LED is off, review the driver installation process to be sure that the driver was correctly installed. Make sure the correct software driver was installed for your operating system.

A failed or aborted installation may leave some system files or drivers that interfere with a new installation. If necessary, remove the EZ Connect ADSL USB Modem driver, and try reinstalling it.

You Cannot Connect to the Internet

• Click on the Network icon in the Control Panel and enter the required TCP/IP settings specified by your Internet Service
