Unlike most traditional modems, the electronic circuitry of the

has been shaped into a stylish body:

Input/output wiring is moulded in an ergonomically designed

pigtail.

The pigtail splits in two separate parts. From the body to the first

connector block it contains the ADSL cord as well as the USB cord.

At the end of the tail only the USB cord remains.

On the rear end of the tail you find the USB connector. That's the

interface which connects the

to your Personal

Computer (PC). The ADSL Line port is situated in the inline

receptacle. This port connects the to the ADSL highway.

Note: As you notice, there is no separate mains plug, cord, or

power adapter. This is because the

is powered via the USB

connection.

ADSL provides simultaneous highĆspeed Internet access and

regular phone services over the existing telephone line already in

your house. With downloads at up to 8Mbps it's up to 200 times

faster than traditional modems. What's more, your connection to

the Internet is established immediately and busy tones are a thing

of the past.

ADSL is short for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. This

somewhat cryptic name is best explained in straightforward terms:

" Line: ADSL uses the ordinary existing copper line, known as

local loop", running between your local premises and the

telephone Central Office (CO).

" Subscriber: That's you, the end user. Because this is what

Service Provider (SP)s, or operators call their customers.

" Digital: ADSL is a digital transmission technology. To a certain

extend, digital information is not affected by impairments on

the telephone line, thus achieving a higher reliability.

" Asymmetric: ADSL can transmit data much faster from the

Internet towards the end user than vice versa.
