Device Drivers
Two types of device drivers are provided for your new modem: WAN (Wide Area Network) and LAN (Local
Area Network). The proper choice of driver depends on the combination of operating system and protocol.
1. WAN (RFC 2364) Driver - this driver causes the modem to resemble a dial-up modem. Call
establishment takes place through Dial-Up Networking. This driver supports RFC 2364 with PVC
(Permanent Virtual Circuit) connections.
2. LAN (RFC 1483) Driver - this driver makes the modem appear as a LAN or Ethernet device.
Connection establishment is automatic. This driver supports RFC 1483 with PVC connections.
