1.1 Getting Started: System Requirements
Before setting up and running the USB ADSL Modem, ensure that the
following conditions are fulfilled:
1. ADSL and telephone service: Enable an ADSL line through a local
service provider. Unless a new, separate line is opened for the ADSL
modem, a central line splitter box, or distributed filters, must be in place
to decouple the ADSL and telephone signals.
2. The PC system must be supplied with a USB port capable of powering
add-on devices. Low-powered ports will not be adequate. Check the
PC documentation. A USB hub may also be used to connect and power
the modem.
WARNING! Provide adequate ventilation for the modem and keep
it away from heat sources. Do not use the modem near water
like bathtubs or sinks. To prevent shock or short circuits, never
push any objects though openings in the modem housing.
