A standard modem setup. The modem connects to the Internet via your POTS line. Rj11 The PC connects to the Internet via the ADSL modem directly via a USB cable, Ethernet cable or over a wireless connection (802.11/a/b/). The PC can also be connected through a hub or switch to facilitate adding multiple computers to the internet.

Problem Area 1 Symptom : 1 Flashing line sync light or no DSL light. Solution: Try new phone socket with out the use of the ADSL filters provided Reason: phone socket bad or other devices hindering DSL signal Example fax or cordless phone.

In this case modem should be brought in to be tested. Your line sync may be down from the exchanges cross connect between the patch panel and DSLAM. Call 611 to make a fault report.

Symptom: 2 Cannot browse even though you have line sync Solution: Verify all modem configurations for your line, Username/password line protocol/encapsulation and vpi/vci. For PPPoE (VPI =0) (VCI=36) Encapsulation =LLC For PPPoA (VPI =0) (VCI=35) Encapsulation =LLC/VCMUX Determine from your ISP and or C&W (611) what your setting should be. The circuit has not been setup correct at the C&W DSLAM. (PPPoA) Configuring your computer for ADSL Verify that your Ethernet cable is plugged in and your Ethernet device is active and enabled. Invalid route setup on your PC. Setup your Ethernet card to do DHCP(your PC is configured to receive an IP address from the modem). Release and renew your Ethernet cards interface( start- run-CMD the type ipconfig /release,then type ipconfig /renew). DHCP errors need to be resolved. These occur when you have limited connectivity, faulty networkcard, bad cable or modem ports faulty. Note: If all the above fail you need to replace the modem.
