Congratulations on your purchase of DSL905E !
ADSL, which stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, is the latest communication
technology that offers faster and uninterrupted Internet access.
DSL905E is an embedded solution that is OS independent. It can be connected to any
computer with an Ethernet/Fast Ethernet card or to a Hub/Switch. It has an Ethernet
connection that allows direct interface to any existing IEEE 802.3 LAN network, providing
instant broadband Internet access to LAN networks with minimum hassle.
To ensure the broadest customer reach, DSL905E features multiple data encapsulation
formats for DSL transport over ATM PVCs, including the widely supported ADSL protocols
RFC 1483 (MPoA), RFC 1577 (IPoA) and RFC 2364 (PPPoA).
It supports multimode - fully compliant with ANSI T1.143 Issue 2, ITU-T G.992.1 (G.dmt)
and G.992.2 (G.Lite) featuring Discrete Multi-tone (DMT) line encoding used by major ADSL
manufacturers, further guarantees interoperability with network providers worldwide.
