Broadband service provides higher speed of data transmissionAllows more content to be carried through the transmission pipeline. Broadband provides access to the highest quality Internet servicesstreaming media, VoIP (Internet phone), gaming and interactive services. Many of these current and newly developing services require the transfer of large amounts of data which may not be technically feasible with dial-up service. Therefore, broadband service may be increasingly necessary to access the full range of services and opportunities that the Internet can offer. Broadband is always ondoes not block phone lines and no need to reconnect to network after logging off. Less delay in transmission of content when using broadband.
WHY IS BROADBAND IMPORTANT? Broadband can provide you with the technical capability to access a wide range of resources, services and products that can enhance your life in a variety of ways. These resources, services and products include,
Education, Culture, & Entertainment o Broadband can overcome geographical and financial barriers to provide access to a wide range of educational, cultural and recreational opportunities and resources. Tele-health & Telemedicine o Broadband can facilitate provision of medical care to unserved and underserved populations through remote diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and consultations with specialists. Economic Development/E-Commerce o Broadband can promote economic development and revitalization through electronic commerce (e-commerce) by: Creating new jobs and attracting new industries. Providing access to regional, national and worldwide markets. Electronic Government (E-Government) o Electronic government can help streamline peoples interaction with government agencies and provide information about government policies, procedures, benefits and programs. Public Safety and Homeland Security o Broadband can help protect the public by facilitating and promoting public safety information and procedures, including, but not limited to:
-3Early warning/public alert systems and disaster preparation programs. Remote security monitoring and real time security background checks. Backup systems for public safety communications networks. Broadband Communications Services o Broadband provides access to new telecommunications technologies such as Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) allowing voice communication using the Internet. Communications Services for People With Disabilities o Broadband permits users of Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) to use Video Relay Services (VRS) to communicate more easily, quickly and expressively with voice telephone users.
TYPES OF BROADBAND CONNECTIONS Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as: Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Cable Modem Fiber Wireless Satellite Broadband over Power lines (BPL) The broadband technology you choose will depend on a number of factors. These may include whether you are located in an urban or rural area, how broadband Internet access is packaged with other services (like voice telephone and home entertainment), price and availability. What is Broadband Service? Broadband refers to a connection that has capacity to transmit large amount of data at high speed. Presently a connection having download speeds of 256 kbps or more is classified as broadband. When connected to the Internet broadband connection allows surfing or downloading much faster than a dial-up or any other narrowband connections. BSNL offers 2 Mbps minimum download speed for its Broadband connections. Requirement for providing Broad Band connection 1. Personal Computer 2. ADSL Modem 3. Land Line Connection 4. Splitter for separating telephone from Personal computer.
-4What is Personal Computer? A small, relatively inexpensive computer designed for an individual user. In price, personal computers range anywhere from a few thousands of rupees to few lakhs of rupees. All are based on the microprocessor technology that enables manufacturers to put an entire CPU on one chip. Businesses use personal computers for word processing, accounting, desktop publishing and for running spreadsheet and database management applications. At home, the most popular use for personal computers is for playing games, apart from accessing internet.
What is ADSL? ADSL stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. It is a technology that allows copper telephone pairs to be used to provide a broadband connection. It provides always-on Internet connection that is automatically established once the PC and ADSL modem are switched on. Modem Connections The following shows the switch and various connectors that are equipped on the rear panel of the ADSL modem 1. Power Port 2. Console Port 3. LAN Port This is where you will connect the power adapter. Reserved for future development. This LAN (Local Area Network) port connects to your PC with network cable included in your kit. You can also connect network devices, such as hubs and switches with a straightthrough RJ-45 cable or use a cross-over RJ-45 cable to connect a router (cross-over cable not supplied). Connects your modem to your telephone line.

Step 1
1 -ADSL Modem 1 - Ethernet cable 1 - Telephone cable 1 - ADSL Filter 1 - Phone jack splitter 1 - DC power adapter
ADSL Modem Connection to Internet Plug the telephone cable into the slot labeled Line on the back of your modem. Plug the other end of the telephone cable into the telephone jack, ADSL was provisioned to (see figure 3 & 4).
-6Figure 3
Figure 4 ADSL can provide connectivity to more than one computer system in your home. For this reason we have two different patterns to follow: - If you only have one computer to supply connectivity, please go to Step 2. - If you have more than one computer please jump to Step 3. Step 2 ADSL Modem Connection to One Computer Plug one end of the Ethernet cable (only use the cable supplied) into the slot labeled LAN on the back of your ADSL modem (see figure 5). Then plug the other end of the network cable into your Ethernet card on your computer system (see figure 6). Please jump to Step 4.
Figure 5
-7-
Figure 6 Step 3 ADSL Modem Connection to Multiple Computers If you have more than one computer to connect you will need to connect each of the computers and the ADSL modem to a hub or data switch. You will also need additional network cables. Plug the cross-over Ethernet cable into the back of the ADSL modem (see figure 5). Then plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into your hub/data switch. This cable must be connected to the uplink port on the hub/data switch. If your hub/data switch does not have an uplink port you must use a regular straight through Ethernet cable instead of the crossover cable included within your kit. The hub/data switch will be used to supply ADSL to each of the computers. This needs to be completed by using a separate Ethernet cable and connecting the Ethernet card of each computer to the hub/data switch. At this point, you have used separate Ethernet cables to connect the ADSL modem to the hub/data switch and each computer to the hub/data switch. (Please refer to your manual for more detailed instructions on setting up your data switch for use with multiple computers.)

Step 4 ADSL Modem Power Connections Plug the black power cord into your ADSL Modem (see figure 7) and then plug the opposite end into an electrical outlet or UPS. Turn on your ADSL modem. All of the lights on your ADSL modem should flash for a short period of time (up to 3 minutes).
Figure 7 Step 5
Figure 8 Status Light Indication If the Power, ADSL Link and LAN Link lights on your ADSL modem are green or flashing green your ADSL modem is connected correctly. If they are not green, see the explanations below. The lights indicate the following: (see figure 8). Power: Amber. The Power LED lights up when the ADSL modem is powered on. ADSL Link: Green. The ADSL Link is continuously lit up when the ADSL modem is successfully connected to an ADSL line. If the Link LED is blinking, the unit is attempting a connection to an ADSL line. PC Link: Green. The LAN Link lights up when a successful Ethernet connection is made through the corresponding port. If this LED is not lighting up, an Ethernet connection has not been established. ADSLRX: Green. The ADSL RX LED blinks when the Router is actively sending or receiving data over that port.
-9ADSL TX: Green. The ADSL TX LED blinks when the Router is actively sending or receiving data over that port. Step 6 Filter Installation In your ADSL modem package, you will find several micro-filters that are to be used on every telephone in the house. These filters make sure that there is no interruption in the channels which now reside on your telephone line. Your ADSL line will not receive any static from your telephone and your telephone will not receive any static from your ADSL. All telephones, answering machines, fax machines, security systems or satellite dish receivers, which reside on the same telephone number that ADSL has been provisioned to, will require a filter in place between the line and the device (see figure 9). A telephone line splitter has been provided so that your ADSL Modem and your phone may use the same connection. The splitter splits the line into two. Remember you always need the filter in place in front of any telephone device (see figure 10).

Figure 10 Be sure to plug the filter into the wall jack and then into analog device within your home. What is always-on Service? Will there be call charges? Always-on means that the ADSL broadband sets up a permanent connection to the internet that lets you access the internet as soon as you switch on the computer and the modem. You do not need to dial up like when you are using a standard modem connection. There will be no call charges for Internet access but voice calls will be charged as before. How fast is ADSL compared to normal dial-up, ISDN and DIAS connection? If you are using a 2 Mbps broadband connection then you will be having a download speed which is 35 times faster than that of normal dial-up connection, about 16 times faster than that of ISDN connection and about 16 times faster than that of DIAS connection. What are the benefits of ADSL? Fast downloads Upto 140 times faster than dial-up connection, Always on connection, Telephone and Internet access can be used together , No telephone call charges ,Cost effective way to access Internet, A host of free content on the web can be downloaded faster What is the difference between BSNL Broadband home and BSNL Broadband business? Both of these connections offer high speed Internet access respectively for home and office environment. In BSNL Broadband for business connecting more than one computer may be allowed along with other features like extra email addresses, domain name, web hosting space , static IP (Select Plans only) etc. Whether separate line for ADSL is required? No. ADSL can run on your existing basic phone (Bfone) line. If you do not have a Bfone connection then you need to get one from BSNL before you can ask for an ADSL broadband connection. Use both phone and ADSL together? ADSL uses a different set of frequencies and does not interfere with telephone conversation. Conversely, making a phone call while accessing the Internet does not affect the speed of the ADSL connection.

What is a CPE? CPE stands for Customer Premise Equipment. This consists of an ADSL modem/router and a stand-alone or a build in splitter to separate the telephone and broadband connections. There are three options for getting the CPE from BSNL. Option I - Free Modem (Available only With selected Plans subject to conditions). Option II - Outright Purchase from BSNL. Option III - On Rent. What is a splitter? If at your home/business premise, the same line is used for voice and data then you need to separate out these signals by using a splitter. The splitter will have one output for your telephone and one or more for the ADSL modem which in turn connects to your computer. This comes along with the modem that BSNL provides.
- 12 What is download/upload? When the information flows from somewhere e.g. a web-page or a site to your PC you are downloading on the other hand when you send information e.g. request for a webpage, you are uploading. Why are the download/upload rates different? ADSL is an asymmetric technology giving different rates in down and up directions. This is perfectly fine since we download (browsing, downloading clips, music etc) much more than we upload (a website address, a few clicks etc) How do I connect to ADSL? To connect to ADSL you need an ADSL modem/router to be installed at your home/business. On your PC you should have an Ethernet port with RJ45 socket. Some ADSL modems have a USB port and you could connect these modems to the USB port of you computer. How to install ADSL? Once your connection comes through, an installation pack consisting of the CPE and installation guide will be sent to you. If you have requested BSNL for installation, a technician will visit and complete the installation for you. If you are buying your own Modem you can still request for installation on payment of the requisite charges. We will, however, only support equipment supplied by us. Software for the installation? With your Welcome Pack you get an installation CD which includes everything you need to get started. If you choose to use your own equipment (e.g. modem or router) then you will need to ensure you have the right software. What is an IP address? When you are connected to the Internet, your PC is automatically allocated an IP(Internet Protocol) address to identify it to the outside world. There are two types of IP addresses, dynamic and static. Dynamic IP address changes from session to session while static always remains same. What type of IP addresses are possible? IP addresses could be dynamic (that typically change with each session) and static (that are permanently allocated to you). BSNL Broadband provides both dynamic and static IP. However the static IP is given only in Business 5000 and Business 9000 plans. Why would one need a static IP address? A static IP address may be required for certain services or applications you use. These typically include: 1. Running your own mailserver (SMTP inbound). 2. Many VPN (virtual private network) implementations require one or both sides of the VPN to have a static IP address. 3. If you are connecting to your company network and need access through their firewall.
