DSL Setup

  1. Make sure you have an ADSL Modem. A normal 56k modem will not work as ADSL uses completely different technology. There are many brands of ADSL modems that work on Australian exchanges. We have had sucess with Netgear, Draytek, Dlink, Billion and Dynalink
  2. Make sure you have access to the telephone line on which the ADSL service was provisioned on. If you have two lines you can only use the the line on which ADSL has been configured. Make sure your modem is supplied with cables
  3. Most ADSL Modems come with Line Filters, if not you will most likely have to purchase one seperatelly. You will need to put phone line filters on every telephone device (phone, fax, etc.) you have plugged into any outlet, except for your ADSL modem. You must have a phone line filter on every telephone device. If you need more filters to accommodate telephone devices, unplug these devices from the outlets until you are able to contact ATMC and purchase more filters.
  4. Next, your ADSL Modem will need to connect to you computer. Depending on what Modem you have purchased this is achieved with
    1. Ethernet Cable
    2. USB Cable
    3. Wireless
  5. At this point you need to configure the modem. In most cases this is fairly straight forward and the only information you will need from Net Solutions is a username and password. The rest is automatically configured.
