ADSL Configuration

ADSL is generally another method to connect customers to the

Internet but over considerably higher speed rates than can be
achieved by 56k dialup modems.

A typical setup involves the user ADSL modem and the PC.

A standard modem setup.

The modem connects to the Internet via your POTS line. Rj11

The PC connects to the Internet via the ADSL modem directly via a
USB cable, Ethernet cable or over a wireless connection (802.11/a/b/).
The PC can also be connected through a hub or switch to facilitate
adding multiple computers to the internet.
When modem connects successfully to the internet your internet
browsing should seem seamless. Otherwise they may be a few
problem areas that would need to be resolved.

Problem Area 1
Symptom : 1

Flashing line sync light or no DSL light.

Solution:

Try new phone socket with out the use of the ADSL filters provided
Reason: phone socket bad or other devices hindering DSL signal
Example fax or cordless phone.

Avoid using long extension telephone cords as they increase line

resistance weakening DSL signal or filter plugged in incorrectly.

Modem bad or faulty due to power surge over phone line. In this case
modem should be brought in to be tested.

Your line sync may be down from the exchanges cross connect
between the patch panel and DSLAM. Call 611 to make a fault report.
Symptom: 2

Cannot browse even though you have line sync

Solution:

Verify all modem configurations for your line,

Username/password

line protocol/encapsulation and vpi/vci.

For PPPoE (VPI =0) (VCI=36) Encapsulation =LLC
For PPPoA (VPI =0) (VCI=35) Encapsulation =LLC/VCMUX

Determine from your ISP and or C&W (611) what your setting should
be.

Configuring your computer for ADSL

Verify that your Ethernet cable is plugged in and your Ethernet device
is active and enabled.

Invalid route setup on your PC.

Setup your Ethernet card to do DHCP(your PC is configured to receive

an IP address from the modem).

Release and renew your Ethernet cards interface( start- run-CMD the
type ipconfig /release,then type ipconfig /renew).

DHCP errors need to be resolved. These occur when you have limited
connectivity, faulty networkcard, bad cable or modem ports faulty.

Note: If all the above fail you need to replace the modem.

pass filter and that the ADSL modem goes directly to the wall socket
via the phone splitter / duplex jack.

Please ensure that the ADSL modem is not attached after the low pass
filter, it will not function.

Note: Most ADSL manufacturers are also providing an all in one

solution for ADSL and Wifi combinations.
