Terminology Attention: The term reserved describes certain signals, bits, and registers that should not be changed. Use of reserved areas can cause compatibility problems, loss of data, or permanent damage to the hardware. If you change the contents of a register, preserve the state of the reserved bits. When possible, read the register first and change only the bits that must be changed. In this manual, some signals are represented in an all-capital-letter format (-ACK).

ADSL modems ADSL modems, available on some models, enable simultaneous internet connectivity and telephone service. Contact your local telephone service provider and ask if your premises need any additional telephony equipment, such as a splitter or a filter. Also contact your Internet service provider (ISP) to determine if they provide service to customers with ADSL. ADSL modems work by using separately the individual four or six wires in the standard RJ-11 telephone jack. The inner w
