1. Introduction 1.1 Overview Thank you for purchasing the ASUS AAM6000EV ADSL modem. This ADSL modem delivers the highest performance in Asymetric Digital Subscriber Line technology, allowing you to simultaneously enjoy the telephone and Internet service using existing copper phone lines. Ideal for home and small business users, this easy-to-use communication device offers reliable connectivity as well as remarkable data transfer rates--up to 8Mbps downstream and 640Kbps upstream.
2. Preparations 2.1 System Requirements Before connecting the ADSL modem to your PC, make sure your system is equipped with an Ethernet controller and supports the TCP/IP protocol. 2.2 Installing a Network Card If your system does not have an embedded Ethernet controller, you must install a network interface card as instructed below (assuming that you are using the ASUS PCI-L101 Fast Ethernet card under the operating system of Windows 98): 1. Install the PCI-L101 card on your motherboard. 2.
2. Preparations 2.3 Installing the TCP/IP Protocol • Checking if TCP/IP is already installed 1. Click the Start button on the desktop. In the Settings menu, select Control Panel . Double-click the Network icon 2. In the list of installed network components try to find the TCP/IP protocol. It may be followed by the name of the Ethernet controller. If you cannot locate anything that begins with TCP/IP, install it as described below. . • Adding TCP/IP in Network properties 1. Click Add. 2.

DC +5V/2A Power Input Jack The provided power adapter converts AC power to DC power for use with this jack. Power supplied through this jack will supply power to the ADSL Modem. 2. Line Connector The RJ-11 connector allows ADSL data communication between the modem and the PSTN through a twisted-pair phone wire. 3.
3. Installing the ADSL Modem 7. HUB-PC Switch 3.2 Rear Panel (Cont’) The HUB-PC switch controls the crossover function. Modem-to-PC connection must contain crossovers. When connecting the modem to a PC, leaving the switch on the default position PC allows you to implement crossover cabling without using a crossover cable. When connecting the modem to an Ethernet hub’s RJ-45 downlink port, use a pen or screwdriver to slide the switch to HUB and implement straight-through cabling.
3. Installing the ADSL Modem Take the following steps to accomplish the installation procedure: 1. Connect the ADSL cable to the line connector of an ADSL POTS splitter. 2. Connect a telephone cable from the phone connector of the splitter to your telephone. 3. Use another telephone cable to connect the modem connector of the splitter and the Line connector on the rear panel of the ADSL modem. 4. Connect the Ethernet cable from the RJ-45 port on your computer to the Ethernet port on the ADSL Modem.
4. Configuring the ADSL Modem 4.1 COM Port Configuration For advanced modem management, use a serial cable to connect the Console port on the ADSL modem to your PC’s empty COM port. (See the illustration in 3.3 Connecting the ADSL Modem.) Open a VT100 terminal emulation program such as NetTerm or Windows’ HyperTerminal to configure the COM port. (The setup under HyperTerminal is given as an example below.) In Windows, click Start, Programs, Accessories, Communications, and then select HyperTerminaI.
4. Configuring the ADSL Modem 4.2 Operation Mode Configuration After the COM port is properly configured, select an operation mode for the ADSL modem in the terminal emulation program. If you have established an ADSL connection as demonstrated in 4.1 COM Port Configuration, you may evoke the Main Menu of the AAM6000EV ADSL Modem Console by placing the pointer in the white area of HyperTerminal and then pressing .
4. Configuring the ADSL Modem 4.2 Operation Mode Configuration (Cont’) In Quick Setup Wizard, eight console operation modes are provided for your ADSL modem configuration. Refer to your ADSL service manual or consult your phone company before selecting the mode. The configuration procedure for each mode will be detailed on the following pages. If you are not sure about certain setup fields, leave on the default setting.
4. Configuring the ADSL Modem 4.2.1 MPoA/Bridged Enter 1 in the Quick Setup Wizard to set up MPoA/Bridged mode. MPoA/Bridged mode complies with IETF RFC1483 Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5. In this mode, the modem acts as a bridging device.
4. Configuring the ADSL Modem 4.2.2 MPoA/Routed Enter 2 in the Quick Setup Wizard to set up MPoA/Routed mode. MPoA/Routed mode complies with IETF RFC1483 Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5. In this mode, the modem acts as a routing device, and, when configured to, implements a NAT function for users to assign virtual IPs to their PCs.
4. Configuring the ADSL Modem 4.2.3 IPoA Enter 3 in the Quick Setup Wizard to set up IPoA mode. IPoA mode complies with the IETF RFC-1577 IP over ATM. In this mode, the modem acts as a routing device and, when configured to, implements a NAT function for PCs to share a single real IP. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 5 Step 4 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 Step 9 Step 10 Step 11 Note for Step 7: The subnet address must consist of hexadecimal numbers.
4. Configuring the ADSL Modem 4.2.4 PPPoA/Bridged PPPoA/Bridged mode complies with IETF RFC2364 PPP over ATM. In this mode, the modem acts as a bridging device, and allows users to enter their user names and passwords to log on to the server’s network. This mode also supports authentication protocols (PAP, CHAP) and different IP control protocols (IPCP, DHCP). Enter 4 in the Quick Setup Wizard to set up PPPoA/Bridged mode.
4. Configuring the ADSL Modem 4.2.6 PPPoA/Routed PPPoA/Routed mode complies with IETF RFC2364 PPP over ATM. In this mode, the modem acts as a routing device, and allows users to enter their user names and passwords to log on to the server’s network.
