In this way, ADSL Internet service can coexist on the same line as your phone service, without disrupting calls. ADSL is “asymmetric” because it downloads, or receives data, faster than uploads it is transmitted. Asymmetric operation is ideal for home and small office use where files and information are downloaded more frequently than uploaded.

ADSL USB Modem Troubleshooting Common Problems and Solutions This section offers solutions to common issues that may occur during the installation and operation of your ADSL USB Modem. 1. Which protocols might I need to use with my ADSL USB Modem? • Refer to the documentation or manual provided by your ISP for details. The protocol required in your configuration depends on the equipment used by your DSL service provider. There are several possibilities: a. Point-to-Point Protocol Over ATM (PPPoA) (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 modem to the operating sys tem. Dial-Up Networking is used to establish a connection. PPP is supported by either the WAN (Wide Area Network) driver or the ATM driver. b. 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. c. Point-to-Point Protocol Over Ethernet (PPPoE) (RFC 2516) - PPP provides session setup, user authentication (login), and encapsulation for upper-layer protocols such as IP (Internet Protocol). PPP makes the modem appear as a dial modem to the operating system. Dial-Up Networking is used to establish a connection. The protocol must be supported by WinPoet or Enternet 300 logon software on the RFC 1483 driver. 2. Installing the driver software resulted in unexpected errors or warnings. Uninstall the ADSL USB Modem driver by doing the following: a. Go to Start, Settings, Control Panel, and click on Add/Remove Programs. b. Highlight Linksys ADSL USB Modem. c. Close the Control Panel window, and remove the program. 25 http://www.linksys.com © Copyright 2000 Linksys, All Rights Reserved.
