Software Installation and Configuration
Windows will automatically detect new hardware when it is added to the computer. The Add
New Hardware Wizard will appear to guide you through the Software Installation.
In order for the Modem to work you must configure it properly. The following sections show
you the steps. You must enter the proper configurations for the DSLAM. You will enter one
of the following:

• VCI

The Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) is a machine at the phone
company’s central office that links many DSL connections to a single high speed Internet
connection. Please refer to your DSL provider’s documentation for information on the
settings you should use. If you have questions about these settings, contact your DSL
provider. Your DSL provider can tell you the specific configurations that you need.
