U.S. Robotics ADSL Ethernet Modem
Overview
Description
The ADSL Ethernet modem provides home connectivity to an ADSL
service provider network over an Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM)/ADSL physical layer. It receives adaptive rates of up to
8Mbps downstream and transmits 640Kbps upstream.
System Features
This section introduces the system features of the ADSL Ethernet
modem.
Standards Compliance:
ITU -T G.992.1, G.992.2, and ANSI T1.413 Issue 2
Handshake Protocol: defined in ITU-T G.994.1
IEEE 802.3 10BaseT physical layer specification
Hardware Features
Discrete Multi-Tone based ADSL physical layer
Rate adaptive with maximum downstream data rates up to
8Mbps and upstream data rate up to 640Kbps.
10BaseT Ethernet interface, compliant with IEEE 802.3.
Status LEDs indicating Ethernet and ADSL activity
Restart and operate automatically after the input power is
restored from a power failure.
Management console support.
Software Features
Multiple data encapsulation formats support
RFC 2364 PPP over ATM AAL5
RFC 2516 PPP over Ethernet with third party client
1
RFC 1483 (bridge and routing mode) multi-protocol
encapsulation over ATM AAL5
RFC 1577 Classical IP and ARP over ATM
ATM support
ADSL physical connection supports ATM AAL5
Support for 8 PVCs
End-to-end OAM loopback
Network Access
IP routing protocols: Static routing and RIPv1, v2
802.1d transparent bridging
DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to PCs on
the LAN
NAT enables multiple PCs on the LAN to access the Internet
via single public IP address
Network management
Web-based configuration software
TFTP firmware upgrade and configuration backup and
restore
TELNE T server for remote management
SNMPv1 agent
MIBs support with RFC1213, RFC1493 (bridged mode only),
RFC1573, RFC2662
Security
password protected system management terminal
PAP/CHAP authentication for PPP mode
Environmental Constraints
This ADSL Ethernet modem should be operated in an ambient
temperature environment of 0 to 50 degree C. The Ethernet modem
should be stored in an ambient temperature environment of –10 to
70 degree C and relative humidity in the range of 10% and 90%
non-condensing.
