3.2 Rear Panel 7. HUB-PC Switch The HUB-PC switch controls the crossover function. Modem-to-PC connection must (Cont’) contain crossovers. When connecting the modem to a PC, leaving the switch on the default position PC allows you to implement crossover cabling without using a crossover cable. When connecting the modem to an Ethernet hub’s RJ-45 downlink port, use a pen or screwdriver to slide the switch to HUB and implement straight-through cabling.
3. Installing the ADSL Modem Take the following steps to accomplish the installation procedure: 3.3 Connecting the ADSL Modem NOTE: If you are not using a telephone or fax machine on the ADSL line, skip steps 1 to 3 and connect the ADSL cable directly to the Line connector on the rear panel of the ADSL Modem.
For advanced modem management, use a serial cable to connect the Console port on the 4.1 COM Port ADSL modem to your PC’s empty COM port. (See the illustration in 3.3 Connecting the Configuration ADSL Modem .) Open a VT100 terminal emulation program such as NetTerm or Windows’ HyperTerminal to configure the COM port.
If you have established an ADSL connection as demon- Mode strated in 4.1 COM Port Configuration , you may evoke the Main Menu of the AAM6000EV Configuration ADSL Modem Console by placing the pointer in the white area of HyperTerminal and then pressing <Enter>.
