his USB-equipped external
modem makes connecting to
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber
Line (ADSL) services over ordinary
existing phone lines easy—and
fast. Supporting up to 8-Mbps
connections, the External ADSL
USB Modem from Black Box
offers up 160 times faster
connectivity than traditional
access technologies.
It’s ideal for business or home
users who require broadband for
demanding videoconferencing,
MP3, and multimedia applications.
The benefits of ADSL enhance
your overall Internet and remote
access experience and enable
you to work more efficiently.
Plus, an ADSL connection is
always on, so you don’t have to
wait for a dialup sequence, as
one does with analog modems.
And because ADSL service is
offered over an analog phone line
(by placing the ADSL signal above
the frequency of the voice signal),
you won’t need an additional line
to receive voice calls when you’re
Here’s the modem for broadband
applications and high-speed Internet
access over ordinary copper lines.
Key Features
EXTERNAL ADSL USB MODEM
on-line. Asymmetric operation of
this sort is ideal for most home or
small office setups, where users
are more likely to download files
than to upload information.
The modem operates in
Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT Issue 2)
based mode of operation. DMT
mode supports ITU G.992.1
(G.DMT) and G.992.2 (G.lite) along
with ANSI standard T1.413 issue 2
and gives you data rates of up to
8 Mbps receiving and 1 Mbps
sending.
You can use the External ADSL
USB Modem with most industry-
standard Digital Subscriber Line
Access Multiplexors (DSLAMs)
that operate in DMT mode.
By getting USB technology in
an external modem that can
handle DMT communications,
you’re given convenience in an
easy-to-install device. You don’t
have to remove the lid on your
machine, inspect for IRQ conflicts
and face CPU power drains, as
you might with an internal modem
card.
And the modem’s splitterless,
so you can install it yourself.
Connect the box to the ADSL line
via standard RJ-11 connections
and to a PC via a standard USB
interface. It comes with Windows
®
based configuration software,
including an installation wizard
that guides you through the
configuration process. An easy-
to-manage diagnostics tool even
lets you view ADSL connection
statistics and driver information,
so you can troubleshoot ADSL
link problems. When the green
indicator is on in the Link Status
field of the onscreen Control
Panel, you know a modem
connection has been made. A
blinking indicator tells you that a
connection is being established.
The modem’s transmitting and
receiving data activity are shown
separately by individual flashing
yellow indicators on the Control
Panel.
