1.
Look for your ISP's dial-up connec-
tion icon and double-click it.
2.
In the Dial-up Connection screen,
enter your user name and pass-
word. Your ISP should have sup-
plied your user name and password
to you. The Save password option
remembers your password so you
won't have to enter it every time
you initiate your dial-up connec-
tion.
The characters in the Dial text field are the VPI/VCI values. The VPI/VCI values
will automatically display and you should not need to change them unless
instructed to do so by your ISP.
3.
Click the Dial button to initiate your connection.
The Registration screen displays once you have established a connection. You
can test your connection by registering your modem. Click Yes to register your
modem, and you will be brought to the U.S. Robotics Web site.
Macintosh OS 8.6 - 9.x Installation (USB Only)
Step 1: Install the Drivers
1.
Insert the Installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of the Macintosh.
2.
The Macintosh will recognize the CD-ROM and place an icon
called Combo ADSL 1.0 on the desktop. Double-click the
Combo ADSL 1.0 icon.
3.
A window will display; if you are using ADSL Annex A, which works over a
standard telephone line, double-click USRxx9002 (POTS) ADSL Modem. If
you are using ADSL Annex B, which works over an ISDN line, double-click
USR029002 (ISDN) ADSL Modem.

Step 2: Connecting the Cables
Connect the USB Cable
1.
Plug the flat end of the provided USB cable into an available USB port on
your Macintosh.
2.
Plug the square end of the USB cable into the port of the modem labeled
USB.
Connect the Telephone Cable
1.
Plug one end of the provided RJ-11 telephone cable into the telephone jack
or the ADSL splitter box provided by your Internet Service Provider.
2.
Plug the other end of the RJ-11 telephone cable into the ADSL port of the
U.S. Robotics SureConnect ADSL USB/Ethernet Modem.
Once you have connected both the USB and the RJ-11, your Macintosh will detect
the modem and load the installed software. This will enable you to use your new
high-speed U.S. Robotics SureConnect ADSL USB/Ethernet Modem.
Step 3: Configuring the Modem
In most cases, you will not have to change the ADSL-specific configuration
parameters for your modem. Your ISP will have customized the software so that
the modem installs with the defaults required for connecting to their own
equipment. If the ADSL parameters need to be changed, they can be changed on
the Configuration page of U.S. Robotics Monitor.
U.S. Robotics Monitor
Each parameter setting is specific to your ISP's network configuration; therefore,
either keep the default settings or obtain alternate settings from your ISP. The
settings that can be changed on the Configuration page of U.S. Robotics Monitor
are:
•
ATM Channel VPI
•
ATM Channel VCI
•
Encapsulation Type
•
ADSL Standard
1.
To access the U.S. Robotics Monitor, go to the Desktop
and double-click the USR ADSL Modem icon.
2.
The U.S. Robotics Monitor will display; click the Configuration tab.

4.
The Installation window will display; click the Install button.
5.
A prompt will display to remind you to plug in the USB cable when the com-
puter restarts; click OK.
6.
Once the modem has been installed, you will need to restart your com-
puter; click Restart.
13
The value that you choose for Encapsulation Type will determine whether your
modem is exposed to the operating system as a network-type device or as a
modem-type device. The choices that begin with PPP will cause the operating
system to view your modem as a modem-type device, and the remaining options
will cause the operating system to view your modem as an Ethernet-type device.
If you change any settings on the Configuration page of the
U.S. Robotics Monitor, click Save Changes. You must then
restart the computer to apply the changes.
Step 4: Configuring the Operating System
Once the modem has been properly configured, the Macintosh OS 8.6 -9.x
operating system must also be configured so that it knows how to properly
communicate with your modem's software. You should configure the system
software based on whether your ISP expects your modem to communicate as an
Ethernet device or as a "regular" modem.
