XPLORER 850 CONTROL PANEL APPLICATION

The Topcom Xplorer 850 USB ADSL modem control panel program provides a quick and easy

way to conﬁgure and check the performance of the modem and the ADSL connection. When

open, the monitor window updates every 2 seconds.

1. There are two methods to access the GlobeSpan control panel:

• From the “Control Panel” window (‘Start’ – ‘Settings’ – ‘Control Panel’), double click

the ‘GSI DSL Modem’ icon, or

• Double click the ‘GSI DSL Modem’ icon in the system tray.

Note: To access the GSIDSLModem Control Panel, the driver must be running. Also, make sure the

USB cable is plugged into the modem.

2. The “Physical Link” tab of the “GSI DSL Modem” window (Control Panel) allows you to

review the current state of the Topcom Xplorer 850 and connection. When the green

indicator is on in the ‘Link Status’ ﬁeld, it indicates that a connection has been made. This

indicator blinks while a connection is being established. The Transmitting and Receiving

data activity are shown separately by individual ﬂashing yellow indicators.
