What’s more, you can customize the modem’s VPI, VCI,
encapsulation, and modulation settings.
The modem is fully software upgradable so that new features
and updates may be added by simply loading a new version of the
device driver onto your PC.
Device drivers provided.
With the
External ADSL USB Modem
, you get WAN, LAN, and
ATM device drivers. All three support the ATM protocol, but the ATM
driver also works with ATM services available in recent Windows
operating systems. (By using ATM framing, ADSL modems can
securely and efficiently carry various types of traffic—for example,
data, voice, and video—over the same network.)
By using the WAN driver, the modem can work like a dial-up type
of modem (that is, establish calls via dial-up networking). The driver
supports RFC 2364 with PVC connections, and RFC 1483 with PVC
connections along with Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE ).
TCP/IP settings are automatically set up during the software
installation process but can be modified if necessary. You can
also easily change your IP address, server addresses and/or default
gateway, too, through the driver’s TCP/IP Settings window. Use
the WAN driver with Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000,
and Windows Me.
If you want the modem to appear as a LAN or Ethernet-type
device, then install the LAN driver.
The ATM driver works in conjunction with ATM services provided
by Windows. Both RFC 1577 and RFC 2364 are supported. To
establish a PPP (RFC 2364) connection, the ATM driver uses dial-up
networking to create a permanent or switched virtual circuit
connection. This driver can be used with Windows 98 SE, Windows
2000, and Windows Me.
Each type of installation (LAN, WAN, and ATM) involves its own
installation sequence guided by the modem’s installation wizard.
And 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.
