Introduction 1.3 About the ADSL Modem HM121dp/di The Ericsson ADSL Modem HM121d comes in two versions: HM121dp and HM121di. Both products offer the same features, but they rely on different types of telephone line in order to provide the ADSL service. HM121dp offers ADSL service over POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) lines, while HM121di uses ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) lines to provide the ADSL service.
Introduction PPP provides session setup, user authentication (login), and encapsulation for upper layer protocols such as IP (Internet Protocol). The use of PPP makes the modem appear as a dial-up modem to the operating system and Dial-Up Networking is used to establish a connection. • Bridged Ethernet over ATM (RFC 1483B) / Routed IP over ATM (RFC 1483R). This protocol makes the modem appear as a LAN (Local Area Network) device to the operating system.

Glossary Glossary ADSL Short for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, a technology that allows more data to be sent over existing copper telephone lines (POTS). ADSL support data rates of fromm 1.5 to 9 Mbps when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending data (known as the upstream rate). ATM Short for Asynchronous Transfer Mode, a network technology based on transferring data in cells or packets of a fixed size.
Glossary G.lite A kind of asymmetric DSL technology, based on DMT modulation, that offers up to 1.5 megabits per second downstream bandwidth, 384 Kilobits per second upstream, does not usually require a splitter and is easier to install than other types of DSL. "G.lite" is a nickname for the standard officially known as G.992.2. IP address An identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination.
