1-2 Installing the Elite Modem
Revision 2.01 Elite Modem Installation Guide 08-01002-01
The Elite Modem
The Elite modem allows an end user with an Ethernet-configured PC and an
ordinary phone line to access the Internet or corporate intranet at
multi-megabit speeds. The Elite Modem also permits simultaneous voice (or
analog data) transmission on the same telephone line. You can use the standard
telephone cable provided in the installation kit to connect a telephone, fax, or
answering machine directly to your Elite Modem.
This document contains all of the procedures you need to install and use the
Elite Modem. This guide takes you through step-by-step procedures for
installing the modem.
The Elite Modem and the EtherLoop System
The Elite Modem is a component of an EtherLoop system. EtherLoop is an
Elastic Networks technology that supports high-speed data simulaneously
with voice using existing phone lines. If the other network components of the
EtherLoop system have not been correctly installed, the Elite modem will not
work.
Contact your service provider or distributor technical support if you have
problems completing the installation.
Always-on Internet connection
The Elite Modem is a state-of-the-art, high-speed data modem that delivers an
“always-on” connection to a service provider or corporate Information Service
(IS) network. This direct access eliminates the time-consuming dial-up
sequence that is required by other modems. You won’t have to dial and wait to
access the Internet or download large files to your home computer.
Factory-tested components
The Elite Modem has been factory-tested. If you have a problem using the
modem, review the procedures in this guide. Contact your service provider or
distributor technical support if you have questions.
