XH1137 – DSE ADSL PCI Modem
1 Introduction
The DSE PCI ADSL Modem is an “always on” high-speed broadband
device for connection to the Internet. Using existing twisted pair
telephone lines, ADSL technology provides data rates over 100 times
the speed of a traditional analog modem, without an interruption in
telephone service. ADSL is the ideal solution for high-bandwidth
applications such as access to a corporate network, Internet access,
and video delivery.
The DSE PCI ADSL modem is an easy to install Plug & Play PCI
device that connects directly to your telephone line via a standard BT
telephone plug. The intuitive software interface allows you to easily
configure the necessary settings with ease.
2 Internet Security
As ADSL provides a permanent connection from your computer to the
Internet, the possibility exists for hackers and viruses to obtain data
from your computer. To this end, we strongly recommend that you
install suitable Firewall software on your computer. The software
should be installed and configured according to the manufacturers
instructions and should be running the entire time your DSE ADSL
Modem is connected to the Internet. For more information on this
topic, please contact your local Dick Smith Electronics store or search
the Internet using the words “Firewall Software Security”. Suitable
search sites include www.google.com or www.yahoo.com

10 Glossary of terms
analog - A continuously varying signal or wave. Telephone transmission and/or
switching that is not digital.
ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line - A group of DSL technologies that are
asymmetric, thereby reserving more downstream bandwidth (coming to the user from
the Internet) than upstream bandwidth (going from the user to the Internet). This type of
DSL is advantageous for residential users that do not need the same bandwidth speed
in both directions. Also see DSL
ATM - ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode - A method of data transportation whereby
fixed-length cells are sent over a switched network. Because of its uniform handling of
services, one network can meet the needs of many broadband users, for the receipt of
voice, video, and data.
bandwidth - A measure of the width or capacity of a communications channel. Greater
bandwidth allows communication of more information in a given period of time.
Bandwidth is generally described either in terms of analog signals in units of Hertz (Hz),
which describes the maximum number of cycles per second, or in terms of digital
signals in units of bits per second (bps).
bit - The basic unit in data communications, represented as either a one or a zero.
When discussing digital data, a small "b" refers to bits, and a capital "B" refers to bytes.
bit rate - the number of bits of data transmitted over a phone line per second
broadband - Broadband is the largest size bandwidth category, meaning that there are
the most channels of data moving over a single communication medium, thus
information such as data, voice, and video can be received and sent most quickly.
dedicated connection - A communication link that operates constantly.
dial-up connection - A data communication link that is established when the
communication equipment (e.g. a modem) dials a phone number and negotiates a
connection with the equipment on the other end of the link.
DSL - Digital Subscriber Line - A generic name for a family of digital lines being
provided by CLECs and local phone companies to provide Internet access to their local
subscribers.
DSLAM - Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer - A device found in telephone
company central offices that takes a number of DSL subscriber lines and concentrates
them onto a single ATM line.
DMT - Discrete Multi-Tone Modulation - A method of transmitting data on copper
phone wires that divides the available frequency range into 256 sub-channels or tones,
and which is used for some types of DSL.

46
IP - Internet Protocol - The standard signaling method used for all communication
over the Internet.
ISP - Internet Service Provider - An organization offering and providing Internet
access to the public using computer servers connected directly to the Internet.
IP Address - A numeric identifier for your computer. Just as the post office delivers
mail to your home address, servers know to deliver data to your computer based on
your IP address. IP addresses can be dynamic, meaning that your computer "borrows"
the IP address for the necessary timeframe, or they can be fixed, meaning that the
number solely belongs to your computer.
MAC Address - Media Access Control address - a hardware address that has been
embedded into the network interface card (NIC) by its vendor to uniquely identify each
node, or point of connection, of a network.
Megabit - One million bits
Megabyte - 1,000,000 bytes, or 1,000 kilobytes. See byte.
modem (MOdulator-DEModulator) - A device that converts digital data into analog
signals and vice-versa for transmission over a telephone or cable line.
NAT - Network Address Translation - Network Address Translation (NAT) enables a
local area network (LAN) to use one set of IP addresses for internal traffic and a
second set of IP addresses for external traffic. This feature is used by the HomePortal
so an end user can have an internal computer network in their home, with all its
computers using internal IP addresses, using only one routable IP address, which
accesses the outside (Internet).
POTS - Plain Old Telephone Service - An acronym identifying the traditional function
of a telephone network to allow voice communication between two people across a
distance. In most contexts, POTS is synonymous with the public switched telephone
network (PSTN).
PPP - Point-to-Point Protocol - Point-to-Point Protocol is a protocol which allows a
computer to access the Internet using a dial-up phone line and a high-speed modem.
This can be accomplished over Ethernet (PPPoE), or over Asynchronous Transfer
Mode (ATM; PPPoA).
POTS splitter - A device that uses filters to separate voice from data signals when they
are to be carried on the same phone line, required for several types of DSL service.
PPPoA - Point to Point Protocol over ATM. See Point to Point Protocol
PPPoE - Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet. See Point to Point Protocol
Request for Comment (RFC) 1483 - RFC1483 was developed to allow the successful
transmission of multiple protocols over ATM networks. This RFC is broken down into
two methods of implementation; VC based multiplexing and LLC encapsulation. The
breakdown on both are mentioned below.
47
XH1137 – DSE ADSL PCI Modem
RJ-11 Plug - Short for Registered Jack-11, the RJ-11 is a six-wire jack used to connect
telephone equipment.
router - The central switching device in a packet-switched computer network that
directs and controls the flow of data through the network.
splitter - 1. For networking applications, a splitter is a device that splits a connection for
use by two distinct outputs. 2. For DSL applications, a splitter is a device that sits on
the outside of a residence that splits out the voice and data frequencies on the
incoming phone line.
splitterless - a DSL installation that does not use a splitter.
TCP/IP - transmission control protocol/Internet protocol - A method of packet-
switched data transmission used on the Internet. The protocol specifies the manner in
which a signal is divided into parts, as well as the manner in which "address"
information is added to each packet to ensure that it reaches its destination and can be
reassembled into the original message.
twisted pair - The set of two copper wires used to connect a telephone customer with a
switching office, loosely wrapped around each other to minimize interference from other
twisted pairs in the same bundle. Synonymous with 2-wire line.
URL - Uniform Resource Locator - A text-based address used to identify specific
resources on the Internet, such as web pages. URLs are arranged in a hierarchical
form that specifies the name of the server on which a resource is located (such as
www.2Wire.com) and the name of the file on that server (www.2Wire.com/index.html).
VBR - Variable Bit Rate - A data transmission that can be represented by an irregular
grouping of bits or cell payloads followed by unused bits or cell payloads.
VOD - Video on Demand - A pay-per-view television service in which a viewer can
order a program from a menu and have it delivered instantly to the television set,
typically with the ability to pause, rewind, etc.
VRML - Virtual Reality Markup Language - A computer language that provides a
three-dimensional environment for traditional Internet browsers, resulting in a simple
form of virtual reality available over the Internet.
WAN - Wide Area Network - A network that interconnects geographically-distributed
computers or local area networks.
