Unpack your
modem and check to see if you have the following parts:
- (3) In-Line
Microfilters
- (1) Wall-Mount Microfilter
- Instruction Booklet and
CD-ROM Driver Disk
- USB Modem
- Phone Line and Splitter
- USB
Cable
Make sure your computer is turned on.
Connect the provided USB cable to your modem and then to a free USB port on your computer. If you are not sure where your USB port is, consult you computer manufacturer's user manual.
As soon as you
have it plugged in, you will see the following screen. Click the Next
button to continue.
You want
Windows to Search for the best driver for your device. At this time,
insert the CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive. Click Next to
Continue.
Click Specify a
location and type x:\driver\wan (where x is your CD-ROM drive). In this
example, D is the CD-ROM drive. Click Next to Continue.
Windows is
ready to install the driver for the modem from the location you just typed
in. Click Next to continue.
After a minute
or so (depending on the speed of your computer), you will see the next screen
saying the installation was successful. Click Finish to
continue.
The software
you just installed has created two icons on your desktop. The VisionNet
ADSL 101U Modem Control Panel icon will take you to the Control Panel of the
Modem, which will allow you to manage your modem if you ever have
problems. It will also show your connection speed. The VisionNet
101U icon will take you to your dial-up connection for your ADSL modem.
We will discuss this in the next section.
Double-Click on
the Modem Control Panel icon now. This program shows you general
information about your modem and connection speed. From this screen, we
need to verify your connection settings to the DSL service. At this
screen, press the ALT key and A at the same time.
After you have
pressed ALT and A, you will see the Administration screen. Look at your
screen. If it says that VPI=0 and VCI=100, proceed to step 13. If
it says that VPI=0 and VCI=35, proceed to the next step.
We need to
change the VCI number to 100 so that the modem will successfully connect to
the DSL service. Click the Protocol Setup tab and change the VCI number
to 100. In the screen below, it has already been done. This is
what your screen should look like. Click OK to save this change.
WARNING: Only make this one change in the VPI/VCI setup. Any other
changes you make to the modem settings may cause the modem to function
improperly.
The software
that was installed created a Dial-Up Networking connection called VisionNet
101U in your Dial-Up Networking settings. We must change some settings
to optimize your DSL experience. Go to My Computer, then click Dial-Up
Networking. Right-click the VisionNet 101U connection and click
Properties. Click the Server Types tab and unclick Log on to Network,
IPX/SPX Compatible, and NetBEUI. Click OK to continue.
