2. INSTALLING THE ADSL NETWORK MODEM BOARD
Before installing the ITeX ADSL Network Modem board, please make sure that
the following minimum system requirements are met.
Minimum System Requirement
[PC System Requirement]
1. IBM PC and its compatibles with Pentium 100MHz CPU speed
2. 32MB main memory and 10MB hard disk space
3. Microsoft Windows 98 (Installation CD)
[ADSL Network Subscription]
1. Subscribe to an ADSL service from your local telephone company or service
provider or have access to an ADSL DSLAM.
2. An IP address, gateway and DNS numbers from the telephone company (for
ADSL network configuration) or from your network administrator.
3. A VCI and VPI value from your telephone company (for ADSL network
configuration) or network administrator.
Before installing the ITeX ADSL Network Modem, please make sure that the
power to the computer is turned off. Remove the cover of the personal computer.
