Quick Start Guide

Product Description

The MTD100U is an ADSL USB modem that supports up to 8 Mbs connections. Using existing phone
lines and ADSL service, the MTD100U offers users up to 160 times faster connectivity than traditional
access technologies. This modem is ideal for business or home users who require broadband for intensive
applications like video conferencing, MP3, multimedia and high speed Internet or remote access.

Drivers

Three types of device drivers are provided for the MultiTech MTD100U modem: WAN, LAN, and ATM.
Note that all three drivers support ATM protocol. In addition, the ATM driver works with ATM services
that are available in recent Windows operating systems. The proper choice of driver depends on the
combination of Windows operating system and protocol.
1. WAN driver – this driver causes the modem to resemble a dial-up modem. Call establishment is
performed through Dial-Up Networking. This driver supports RFC 2364 with PVC connections. It
can be used with Windows 98, Windows 98SE, Windows 2000, and Windows Me.
2. LAN (RFC 1483) driver
Connection establishment is automatic. This driver supports RFC 1483 with PVC connections. It
can be used with Windows 98, Windows 98SE, Windows 2000, and Windows Me.
3. ATM driver – this driver works in conjunction with ATM services provided by Windows. Both
RFC 1577 and RFC 2364 are supported. The ATM driver uses Dial-Up Networking to create a
PVC or SVC connection to establish a PPP (RFC 2364) connection. This driver can be used with
Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, and Windows Me.

Operating System Support

Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows 2000, Windows Me
