CHAPTER 5: Control Panel Application
5. Control Panel Application
The External ADSL USB Modem control panel program provides a quick and easy
way to configure and check the performance of the modem and the ADSL
connection. When open, the monitor window updates every 2 seconds.
1. There are two methods to access the control panel:
• From the “Control Panel” window (Start, Settings, Control Panel), double
click the Black Box DSL Modem icon, or
• From the PC desktop, double click the Black Box DSL icon in the system tray.
NOTE
To access the Black Box Control Panel, the modem must be plugged in.
2. The “Physical Link” tab of the “Black Box DSL Modem” window (Control
Panel) allows you to review the current state of the Black Box DSL Modem
and connection. When the green indicator is on in the Link Status field, it
indicates that a connection has been made. This indicator blinks while a
connection is being established. The Transmitting and Receiving data activity
are shown separately by individual flashing yellow indicators.
