1 Introduction

1.1 What is ADSL?

The sheer speed of development of computer technology over the last few

years has resulted in a huge increase in the volume of electronic data traffic.

More users every day want to send and receive a constantly increasing

volume of data. Conventional transmission technologies (analog modems or

ISDN devices) are no longer equal to the demand.

New technologies are eliminating the restrictions and are offering the user

true broadband communications at significantly higher transfer speeds. An

important criterion for the spread of these access technologies is their

availability in as many offices and private households as possible. One of the

new technologies is transfer by ADSL, which bridges the section of the

network that connects to the customer (“the last mile”) over standard copper

wires. ADSL can thus be used for broadband access to the Internet, for

example.

ADSL technology (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) uses three regions of

different sizes on the copper wire of a standard telephone line. Two regions

are used for data transmission and one for telephoning. The term

'asymmetric' indicates that the transmitting and receiving channels can carry

different quantities of data:

쎲When the user surfs the Internet, the data sent to the provider tend to

carry less information (e. g. addresses of web sites or e-mails). The

transmission rate of up to 1 Mbps is generally sufficient for this purpose.

쎲To load multimedia content (video sequences, animations, images etc.)

onto the computer from the Internet at acceptable quality and speed, a

transmission rate of up to 8 Mbps brings a significant saving in cost and

time.

1.2 What does the MicroLink ADSL PCI have to

offer?

The following is an outline of the principal features of the device giving you

a quick overview of its capabilities

Simple installation

쎲Installing the MicroLink ADSL PCI

쎲Connecting your MicroLink ADSL PCI to the ADSL line using the ADSL

cable provided with the product

쎲Installing the devolo driver

쎲Entering your Internet access data

쎲Done!

If you want to be able to use the telephone and the Internet simultaneously,

you will need a splitter (e. g.) to separate the high-frequency data signals

from the low-frequency telephone signals. It will be provided by your network

operator.

ADSL mode

쎲Use the Internet and telephone at the same time (using a splitter, e. g.)

쎲No new wiring, because the existing telephone lines (copper wire) can

still be used

쎲High transmission rates of up to 1 Mbps (upload) or up to 8 Mbps (down-

load)

Status display

The indicator lights (LEDs) on the mounting plate of your MicroLink ADSL PCI

adapter show the connection status and allow the data transmission to be

checked. The MicroLink ADSL PCI adapter has 2 indicator lights.

1.3 Firewall and virus scanner

The MicroLink ADSL PCI is supplied with the Norman Internet Control soft-

ware. Norman Internet Control is a firewall and anti-virus program that moni-

tors your PC for malicious software, also referred to as malware. The most

common types of malware are viruses, worms, and trojans. For the sake of

simplicity, we often use the term virus as a collective description.

Norman Internet Control can detect and remove known and unknown viruses

from hard disks, floppy disks, e-mail attachments, etc. Norman Internet Con-

trol checks files when they are accessed, and possible viruses are removed

automatically. If Norman Internet Control is unable to clean an infected file,

you will receive a warning and instructions on how to proceed.

|devolo MicroLink ADSL PCI |

You will find two LEDs as display elements and the ADSL connection on the

mounting plate.

ADSL connection: Connect the modem to your ADSL line via the sup-

plied ADSL cable here.

 Data: Flashes when data is being sent and received over the PCI card.

Connect: Flashes as long as the connection is training. Once the ADSL

connection has been established, this LED remains steady.

2.3 Installation of the MicroLink ADSL PCI

Disconnect the AC power cable and the connection to the telephone

network before opening your computer. This is necessary to ensure that

the device is no longer live.

Do not touch any electronic parts! Static charges could destroy the elec-

tronics. You should, therefore, briefly touch the computer housing to dis-

charge any static electric charge built up on your body.

The first step

Safety First! Disconnect the power cord from the PC before removing the

housing. The PCI card may only be installed or removed if the PC has

been disconnected from the AC power supply.

Loosen the screws

Loosen the retaining screws on the housing and remove it.

Remove the blind bracket

Remove the blind bracket of a free PCI slot.

Insert the MicroLink ADSL PCI card

Plug your PCI card into the slot. Ensure that the PCI card is correctly

seated in its slot and tighten the screw of the mounting plate.

Installation |

|devolo MicroLink ADSL PCI |

sure that the case of the PC has been closed properly before connecting it to

the telephone network.

Replace PC housing

Replace the housing and screw it tight.

Connection to the ADSL line (e. g. splitter)

Connect the included ADSL cable to the socket on the mounting bracket

and the ADSL connection.

Connection to AC Power

Reconnect the power cord to your computer and switch the computer on.

Installing the drivers

Continue by installing the drivers as described for the corresponding

operating system.

If you want to use the MicroLink ADSL PCI card anymore and it is no longer
