3 ADSL Service

In order to use the DSE ADSL Modem you must first have the ADSL service established at your premises with your local telephone company, or an Internet Service Provider (ISP). To check if the service is available in your area:

•

Visit your local Dick Smith Electronics store where an employee will help you to check ADSL service availability. If you wish to sign up for a Telecom or Xtra ADSL service while you are in-store, the

Telecom account holder will need to be present along with a current Telecom bill.

•

Alternatively visit http://adsl.dse.co.nz

and click on the “ADSL –

Services & Links” category. From here, select “ADSL - Check

Service” and then enter your phone number into the appropriate panel. After a short while you will be advised if the service is available or not. If the service is available, you can sign up for any

Telecom or Xtra service providing you have a phone account handy. If the service is not available, you have the option to

“register your interest”. By informing Telecom of your interest, you may help speed up the installation of the ADSL service in your area.

•

If you have inadvertently purchased any DSE ADSL product and cannot get the service or it is not suitable, simply return the product to any Dick Smith Electronics store, in new condition, complete with packaging and receipt, for a full refund.

High Speed ADSL Internet is a complex service generally provided to you by 2 companies:

1. A telecommunications company (like Telecom) who’s responsibility it is to send and receive high speed computer data from your premises to your nearest phone exchange.

2. An I nternet S ervice P rovider (ISP like Xtra) who is responsible for connecting your high-speed data from the phone exchange to the

Internet.

6 Hardware installation

The following sections outline the steps you will need to take to install

ADSL high speed Internet at your premises.

6.1 About ADSL Splitter & Filters

First, you need to prepare your phone line and your phone devices at your premises. ADSL and telephone services share the same copper wire to carry their respective signals, a filtering mechanism must be used to avoid mutual interference.

CAUTION: Failure to connect ALL telephone type equipment via a filter will result in loss of the data link whenever a call is made or answered. In many cases the link will also be lost when a call is received, even if it is not answered.

There are currently 2 filter solutions:

•

Professionally Installed ADSL Splitter – this option requires a technician to visit your premises to install a hard wired splitter. This option is ideal for permanently wired telephone devices like alarm panel diallers, Etc. For more details please contact your

Telecommunications company.

•

Self-install ADSL Filters – filters are easy self-install in-line devices, which attach to the telephone cable between the telephone devices and the wall jack. These filters are available from your nearest Dick Smith Electronics store – Cat no XH7556.

Note: In the event that the ADSL service is connected to your line before you have connected your filters, you may experience occasional noise bursts when using your telephone. These noise bursts are normal, but they will disrupt data transmission for fax and dial-up modems. To overcome this problem, install your filters immediately, even if you are not ready to install your modem.

10

6.2 Installation of the DSE ADSL Line Filter

For self-installation, each Telephone device on an ADSL enabled phone line must be filtered.

Whilst this section specifically describes installation of the XH7556 DSE ADSL line filter, the installation of other ADSL line filters are similar and similar rules apply.

6.2.1 Filter Installation Rules

1. You can install up to 5 filters on 1 phone line.

2. Each filter can have a double phone adaptor plugged into it.

3. The only device on a telephone line that does not require a filter is the ADSL modem or router itself.

For your convenience, the DSE ADSL filter has 2 sockets on it. One is marked PHONE (BT socket), the other is marked ADSL (RJ11 socket). Only the PHONE socket is filtered and as such, only telephone devices are to be plugged into this socket. The following diagram outlines a typical home filter installation:

6.3 Important Antistatic Precautions

The next step is to install the PCI ADSL Modem into your computer.

Before you do this however, please familiarise yourself with these important antistatic precautions.

Your ADSL Modem is a highly complicated computer peripheral.

Please familiarise yourself the following important Antistatic handling precautions.

CAUTION: Static electricity can permanently damage electronic components in the computer. Prevent electrostatic damage to the system by following static electricity precautions every time you open the computer case. The use of an antistatic wrist strap is highly recommended and may significantly reduce the risk of static damage. A suitable antistatic strap is available from your nearest Dick Smith Electronics store. If an antistatic strap is not available, at least earth yourself by touching the metal computer chassis while handing the card outside of it's protective packaging. Wherever possible, do not touch the copper tracks and or other components on the card. Carefully follow these static electricity precautions:

ü Avoid static-causing surfaces such as plastic and packing foam in your work area.

ü Remove parts from their antistatic bags and or packaging only when you are ready to use them.

ü Do not lay parts on the outside of antistatic bags because only the inside provides antistatic protection.

ü

Always hold expansion cards by their edges and their metal mounting bracket.

ü Avoid touching components on the cards and the edge connectors that connect to expansion slots.

ü Never slide cards or other parts over any surface.

WARNING - Damage to computer components (or the system itself) due to improper antistatic handling precautions is not covered by warranty.

12

6.4 PCI card installation

If this is the first time you have installed a computer card, please take the time to carefully familiarise yourself with these important procedures BEFORE you commence. If you have an existing analogue modem (Eg: 56K) we recommend that you remove it before installing your new DSE PCI ADSL modem.

1. Shut down your computer and switch the power off .

2. Unplug the power cord for your computer from the electrical outlet.

3. Remove the cover from your systems chassis (see your PC manufacturer’s manual).

4. Unscrew the “Retaining Screw” and remove and discard the

“Expansion Slot Cover” from any unused PCI slot ( PCI slots are usually white in colour).

13


5.

Gently and evenly insert the PCI modem card into your empty

PCI slot.

6.

Make sure the card is firmly seated, and then secure the card with the “Retaining Screw”

7.

Replace the cover of your computer system.

8.

Connect the ADSL/phone line to the connector port on the modem card and plug the other end of the cable into your phone line.

14

7 Software installation

This section contains the installation procedures for various operating systems and ADSL protocols. You need to install only one ADSL protocol, as determined by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Please refer to your notes in the section About Connection Settings .

NOTE – The Telecom JetStart & JetStream services use

RFC2364 Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM.

10 Glossary of terms

analog - A continuously varying signal or wave. Telephone transmission and/or switching that is not digital.

ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line - A group of DSL technologies that are asymmetric, thereby reserving more downstream bandwidth (coming to the user from the Internet) than upstream bandwidth (going from the user to the Internet). This type of

DSL is advantageous for residential users that do not need the same bandwidth speed in both directions. Also see DSL

ATM - ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode - A method of data transportation whereby fixed-length cells are sent over a switched network. Because of its uniform handling of services, one network can meet the needs of many broadband users, for the receipt of voice, video, and data.

bandwidth - A measure of the width or capacity of a communications channel. Greater bandwidth allows communication of more information in a given period of time.

Bandwidth is generally described either in terms of analog signals in units of Hertz (Hz), which describes the maximum number of cycles per second, or in terms of digital signals in units of bits per second (bps).

bit - The basic unit in data communications, represented as either a one or a zero.

When discussing digital data, a small "b" refers to bits, and a capital "B" refers to bytes.

bit rate - the number of bits of data transmitted over a phone line per second broadband - Broadband is the largest size bandwidth category, meaning that there are the most channels of data moving over a single communication medium, thus information such as data, voice, and video can be received and sent most quickly.

dedicated connection - A communication link that operates constantly.

dial-up connection - A data communication link that is established when the communication equipment (e.g. a modem) dials a phone number and negotiates a connection with the equipment on the other end of the link.

DSL - Digital Subscriber Line - A generic name for a family of digital lines being provided by CLECs and local phone companies to provide Internet access to their local subscribers.

DSLAM - Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer - A device found in telephone company central offices that takes a number of DSL subscriber lines and concentrates them onto a single ATM line.

DMT - Discrete Multi-Tone Modulation - A method of transmitting data on copper phone wires that divides the available frequency range into 256 sub-channels or tones, and which is used for some types of DSL.

45

IP - Internet Protocol - The standard signaling method used for all communication over the Internet.

ISP - Internet Service Provider - An organization offering and providing Internet access to the public using computer servers connected directly to the Internet.

IP Address - A numeric identifier for your computer. Just as the post office delivers mail to your home address, servers know to deliver data to your computer based on your IP address. IP addresses can be dynamic, meaning that your computer "borrows" the IP address for the necessary timeframe, or they can be fixed, meaning that the number solely belongs to your computer.

MAC Address - Media Access Control address - a hardware address that has been embedded into the network interface card (NIC) by its vendor to uniquely identify each node, or point of connection, of a network.

Megabit - One million bits

Megabyte - 1,000,000 bytes, or 1,000 kilobytes. See byte .

modem (MOdulator-DEModulator) - A device that converts digital data into analog signals and vice-versa for transmission over a telephone or cable line.

NAT - Network Address Translation - Network Address Translation (NAT) enables a local area network (LAN) to use one set of IP addresses for internal traffic and a second set of IP addresses for external traffic. This feature is used by the HomePortal so an end user can have an internal computer network in their home, with all its computers using internal IP addresses, using only one routable IP address, which accesses the outside (Internet).

POTS - Plain Old Telephone Service - An acronym identifying the traditional function of a telephone network to allow voice communication between two people across a distance. In most contexts, POTS is synonymous with the public switched telephone network (PSTN).

PPP - Point-to-Point Protocol - Point-to-Point Protocol is a protocol which allows a computer to access the Internet using a dial-up phone line and a high-speed modem.

This can be accomplished over Ethernet (PPPoE), or over Asynchronous Transfer

Mode (ATM; PPPoA).

POTS splitter - A device that uses filters to separate voice from data signals when they are to be carried on the same phone line, required for several types of DSL service.

PPPoA - Point to Point Protocol over ATM. See Point to Point Protocol

PPPoE - Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet. See Point to Point Protocol

Request for Comment (RFC) 1483 - RFC1483 was developed to allow the successful transmission of multiple protocols over ATM networks. This RFC is broken down into two methods of implementation; VC based multiplexing and LLC encapsulation. The breakdown on both are mentioned below.
