Requirements, Part 15
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
---Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
---Increase the separation between the equipment and

Software Installation
Install from CD-ROM
If you receive a zip file containing all the drivers, please unzip the files and burn them into a CD-ROM.
The CD-ROM contains both PPPoEthernet (RFC1483) and PPPoATM (NDISWAN) Windows software
drivers. Both drivers support Windows NT4/95/9x/2000/Me.
Install the latest service pack
It is important to remember to install/reinstall latest service pack for Windows whenever you are adding
components to your system since older system files may be copied back to Windows during installation.
After that you should reboot the machine again.

PPPoE (RFC1483) Driver Installation for Windows 9x
For some ADSL networks, they provide the PPP over Ethernet dial-up network services. The supplied
RFC1483 drivers work with third party PPPoE client software such as WinPoet, NTS. Consult your
service provider for the PPPoE client software and its installation guide. This manual only demonstrates
the installation for the RFC1483 drivers which work with other networks.
Device Driver Installation

For full product evaluation purpose, emulated single channel ADSL CO (central office) PCI NIC card is
available. To install the driver, we recommend to use Windows NT4 Server which provides built-in
server dial-up services and higher file transfer performance.
CO Driver Installation
The procedures apply to both PPPoE (RFC1483) and PPPoA (RFC2364) drivers.
Same driver installation procedures are used like the RT (remote terminal) card.
Change the following parameters from Windows registry:
Modem = 0
IDMABoot = 0
For NT4, run “regedit” from Windows Start bar, the registry entry for the ADSL PCI NIC is located in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> System -> CurrentControlSet -> Services -> Nicadsl_? -> Parameters
For Win9x, the registry entry for the ADSL PCI NIC is located in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> System -> CurrentControlSet -> Services -> Class -> Net -> ????

05/25/01 Analog Devices Proprietary Page 43
14. It is important to install/reinstall the latest service pack (SP6 or higher) for Windows NT4 whenever
you are adding components to your system since older system files may be copied back to Windows
during installation. After that you should reboot machine again.
Setting registry
After installed the ADSL PCI NIC card, you can set up the desired VPI and VCI in the registry by adding
as DWORD, one for VPI which is PVC_VPI and one for VCI which is PVC_VCI in the following path.
To edit registry, click “Start” then “Run” and “Open” with “regedt32”.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> System -> CurrentControlSet -> Services -> Nicadsl_? -> Parameters
Be careful about the other items in the registry and do not try to change any of them.
VPI and VCI for both CO and RT cards should be the same.
Creating new user(s) for server side
After the service pack is installed, you can create your desired user to be able to dial-in to the server. Do
the following steps:
1. Open “User Manager” via Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools.
2. Create new user from pull down menu.
3. Give Administrator permission to new user.
ADSL PCI NIC User Manual Rev 1.3
05/25/01 Analog Devices Proprietary Page 44
4. Grant dial-in permission to new user.
After creating new user on the server side, server setup is completed. Now you can start the server.
Starting server
Go to “Administrative Tools” and “Remote Access Admin” and start server for pull down menu. If you
cannot see name of server, just click on “Select Domain/Server” and choose Workgroup and type the
name of the server.
ADSL PCI NIC User Manual Rev 1.3
05/25/01 Analog Devices Proprietary Page 45
You should have unique workgroup for both CO and RT. Workgroup can be changed on the
“Identification” tab of the “Network” panel. Reboot machine after changing workgroup.

Utility Programs
There are four utility programs supplied with the hardware:
6481Diag is a MS-DOS program that tests different functions of the PCI SAR controller and the NIC
board to determine if they are functioning properly. By running this program from both ends (PCI RT
NIC and PCI CO NIC), end-to-end protocol testing can be done. You need run this program in DOS mode
without Windows operating system loaded.
AdiCmv is a Windows-DOS program that allows user to test the access to ADI PCI NIC device driver.
ADI CMV modem commands can be entered here for low level modem configuration and monitoring.
Windows based CommAgnt driver is required to be installed first.
CMVP is a MS-DOS program which enables ADSL modem configuration and monitoring without
running Windows. It gives fast access to modem when frequent reboot is required during testing.
BootLoad is a MS-DOS program which program on-board Flash for modem firmware upgrade without
removing existing Flash. If IDMA boot (Flashless) is used on the ADSL PCI NIC RT (Remote Terminal)
card, this program will not be used.
All of the above programs can be supplied upon request.

Troubleshooting
Checklist
Please use the following checklist to help debugging problems with your ADI PCI NIC product.
Determine if ADI PCI NIC driver is installed correctly.
Open the Network panel in the Control Panel. The ‘ADI PCI NIC PCI Adapter’ entry under the Adapter
tab should exist. This shows that ADI PCI NIC driver is correctly installed.
Determine if modem is trained.
On your ADI PCI NIC board, when LED (Modem Connect) is constantly ON, it indicates that the modem
is correctly linked to the central office modem. If the modem is not trained, please retrain the modem by
rebooting the machine. Full LED description is located in Hardware Installation section of this menu.
Also make sure CO equipment has same modem line type (T1.413, G.DMT or G.LITE) or multi-mode
support.
Determine if CRCs are occurring.
On your ADI PCI NIC board, when LED (CRC Errors) is blinking, it indicates that CRCs are occurring
over the ADSL link. CRCs can cause a reduction in data flow. To remove CRCs, please reset the modem
and check improvement. Modem can be reset from the GUI (ADI ADSL Monitor).
Determine if data flow is occurring.
To determine if data flow is occurring, please execute the program Netstat.exe (e.g. ‘netstat –e’ to view
Ethernet statistics). If data flow is occurring, the values given by Netstat should be increasing every time it
is executed.
Also make sure ATM VC is setup properly. VCI/VPI setting should be matched on both CO and RT
devices.
Determine if your MAC address is valid.
To determine your MAC address, please execute the program ipconfig.exe (e.g. ‘ipconfig /all’). The MAC
address is located on the line ‘Physical Address’. For example:
Physical Address . . . . . . : 00-60-F9-01-02-03
Please report your MAC address to your network administrator or service provider to determine if it is
valid or not. No duplicated address is allowed for all systems in the same network.
Determine if your IP address is valid.
To determine your IP address, please execute the program ipconfig.exe (e.g. ‘ipconfig /all’). The IP
address is located on the line ‘IP Address’. For example:
IP Address . . . . . . . . . : 196.168.0.2
Please report your IP address to your network administrator or service provider to determine if it is valid
or not.
