3-2 Configuring Your Internet Connection
v1.0, June 2007
Your ISP should have provided you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet. If
you cannot locate this information, you can ask your ISP to provide it.
Internet Configuration Requirements
Depending on how your ISP set up your Internet account, you need one or more of these
configuration parameters to connect your modem router to the Internet:
• Virtual Path Identifier (VPI)/Virtual Channel Indentifier (VCI) parameters
• Multiplexing Method
• Host and Domain Names
Understanding ADSL Microfilters
ADSL technology uses the same wires as your telephone service. However, ADSL adds signals to
the telephone lines which create noise in the telephone service. You must use ADSL microfilters to
filter out these signals before they reach your telephone.
ADSL Microfilter
Each device such as a telephone, fax machine, answering machine, or caller ID display will require
an ADSL microfilter.
Note: If you purchased the modem router in a country where a microfilter is not included,
you must acquire one.
Figure 3-1
Warning: Do not connect the modem router to the ADSL line through a microfilter
unless the microfilter is a combination microfilter/splitter specifically
designed for this purpose. Doing so will prevent block your connection to the
Internet. If you have any doubts about this, connect the modem router directly
to the ADSL line.
