Chapter 1: Introduction

Camnet profile
Camnet is the first Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Cambodia, operated by Ministry
of Posts & Telecommunications of Cambodia (MPTC) with support from the International
Development Research Centre of Canada (IDRC).

MPTC was the policy maker, regulator and

operator in Posts and Telecommunications
before 2006. Thereafter, the operation of
Telecommunications had been separated from
MPTC to be the Telecom Cambodia ( T.C )
state Enterprise on 1 January 2006.

Camnet began operations in May 1997. Camnet

offer the customer two types of Internet
service; E-mail only, and full access (that mean
that the customers can use E-mail, WWW,
FTP, Gopher, Telnet, etc). Camnet also offer
leased line service. Now Camnet offer more services such as Dial up Connection, leased Line,
Wireless Broadband Access, SBI, Web Hosting, Mail Store and forward and ADSL.

Camnet Internet Access services:

• Dial up service
• Broadband services
• ADSL
• Leased Internet Access
• Satellite Broadband Access
• Hosting Service

Chapter 2: ADSL Modem and DSL filter

2.1 What is modem?
This section discusses modems that users use to
receive and send their data and information
through communications channels. All
communications must flow through some types of
channels. Most of the computer communications
are transmitted via ordinary telephone lines.
Therefore, many require devices to convert the
digital signals (represented by the presence or
absence of an electronic pulse) into analog signals.
This converter is called a modem.
The modem is an acronym for “Modulator-Demodulator.” A modem converts the digital
signals into continuous analog signals (Modulation), and converters from analog to digital
(Demodulation). The modem enables digital microcomputers to communicate across
telephone lines. Both voice communications and data communications can be carried over the
same telephone line.

2.2 ADSL Modem

ADSL has existed for around ten years and was firstly developed to receive television via the
standard telephone network. But the development of the internet found another use for this
technology, that of being able to surf the net quickly without occupying the telephone line.
A Digital Subscriber Line (DSL modem is a device used to connect a computer or router to a
telephone circuit that has Digital Subscriber Line service configured. Link other modems, it is
a type of transceiver. It is also called a DSL Transceiver or ATU-R (for ADSL Transceiver
Unit-Remote).
Some DSL modems also manage the connection and sharing of the DSL service in a network,
in this case, the unit is termed a DSL router or residential gateway. DSL routers have a
component that performs framing, while other components perform Asynchronous Transfer
Mode Segmentation and Reassembly, IEEE 802.1D bridges and/or IP routing. Typical user
interface are Ethernet and Universal Serial Bus (USB). Although a DSL modem working as a
bridge does not need an IP address, it may have one assigned for management purposes.

Compared to voice-band modem

A DSL modem modulate high-frequency tones for transmission to a Digital Subscriber Line
Access Multiplexer (DSLAM), and receive demodulates them from the DSLAM.

- DSL modems transfer data at a rate which is typically 10 to 20 times that of a

voice-band modem.

Prepared by Heng Kimleang

Connect to the Internet by using ADSL Modem -6-
- A single telephone line can be used for simultaneous voice and data with a DSL
modem whereas a voice-band modem precludes simultaneous voice traffic.
- Most DSL modems with PCI interface are external to the computer and wired to
the computer’s Ethernet port, or occasionally its USB port. Internal DSL modems
with PCI interface are rare but available.
- Microsoft Windows and other operating systems do not recognize external DSL
modems connected by Ethernet, and hence have no Property Sheet or other
internal method to configure them. This I because the transceiver and computer are
considered separate nodes in the LAN, rather than the transceiver being a device
controlled by the computer (such as web-cams, mice, keyboards etc.). Routers can
be configured manually, using Web page provided by the modem via the Ethernet
networks, simply forwarding data from one medium (CAT5) to another one
(telephone line).
- For external DSL modems connected by USB, Microsoft Windows and other
operating systems generally recognize these as a Network interface controller.
- For internal DSL modems, Microsoft Windows and other operating systems
provide interfaces similar to those provided for voice-band modems. This is based
on the assumption that in the future, as CPU speeds increase, internal DSL modems may
become more mainstream.
DSL modem use frequencies from 25 kHz to above 1MHz, in order not to interfere with voice
service which is primarily 0-4 kHz. Voice-band modems use the same frequency spectrum as
ordinary telephones, and will interfere with voice service. It is usually impossible to make a
telephone call on a line which I being used by a voice-band modem.
DSL modems vary in data speed from hundreds of kilobits per second to many megabits,
while voice-band modems are nominally 56K modems and actually limited to approximately
50 Kbit/s.
- DSL modems exchange data with only the DSLAM to which they are wired, which
in turn connects them to the internet, while most voice-band modems can
dial directly anywhere in the world.
- DSL modems intended for particular protocols and sometimes won’t work on
another line even from the same company, while most voice-band modems
use international standards and can “fall back” to find a standard that will
work.
Most of these differences are of little interest to consumers, except the greater speed of DSL
and the ability to use the telephone even when the computer is online. Because a single phone
line commonly carries DSL and voice, DSL filters are used to separate the two uses.

2.3 DSL filter

A DSL filter is an analog low-pas filter installed between
analog devices (such as telephone or analog modems) and a
POTS telephone line. Without DSL filters, signals or echoes
from analog devices at the top of their frequency range can
result in reduced performance and connection problems with
DSL service, while those from the DSL service at the bottom
of its range can result in line noise and other issues for analog
devices.

Typical installation for an existing home involves installing

DSL filters on very telephone, fax machine, voice-band

Connect to the Internet by using ADSL Modem -7-
modem, and other voiceband device in the home, leaving the DSL modem as the only
unfiltered device. For wall mounted phones, the filter is in the form of a plate which hangs on
the standard wall mount, and upon which the phone hangs in turn.
In cases where it is possible to run new cables, it can be advantageous to split the telephone
line after it enters the home, installing a single DSL filter on one leg and running it to every
jack in the home where an analog device will be in use, and dedicating the other (unfiltered)
leg the DSL modem. some devices, such as monitored alarms and Telephone Devices for the
Deaf, mainly certain older model using a acoustic coupler, may be hardwired and may not
easily accept a DSL filter. Some of these devices can be successfully filtered with a DSL filter
or Splitter, especially if the hardwired connection is converted into a jacked connection.
DSL modems may have filtering circuitry built-in, to which the telephones and fax machines
can be connected.

Chapter 3: Getting to know the ADSL Modem

The Back Panel

The Modem’s ports, where cables are connected, are located on the back panel. The
Modem’s reset button is also located on the back panel.

DSL the DSL port connects to the DSL line.

USB The USB port be used to connect our Modem to computer’s USB port using a
USB cable. If we choose to connect via USB, it is not necessary to connect via
Ethernet.
Ethernet The Ethernet port connects to our computer and other network devices.
Reset Button There are two ways to reset the Modem’s factory default setting. Either press
the Reset Button, for approximately ten seconds, or restore the defaults on the
Factory Defaults screen of the Administration tab in the Modem’s Web-Based
Utility.
Power Switch The Power Switch is used to turn the Modem off and on.
Power The Power port is where we connect the power adapter.

Note: Resetting the Modem to factory defaults will erase all of sitting (WAN and LAN
settings, etc.) and replace them with the factory defaults. Do not reset the Modem if we want
to retain these settings.

With these and many other Modem products, our networking options are limitless. Go to the
there website for more information about products that work with het Modem.

The Front Panel

Power Green. The Power LED light up when the Modem is powered on.
Ethernet Green. The Ethernet LED servers two purposes. If the LED is
continuously lit, the Modem is successfully connected to a device
through the Ethernet port. If the LED is blinking, it is an indication of
any network activity.
USB Green. The USB LED indicates when the Modem is successfully
connected to the computer using a USB connection. If the LED is
blinking, it is an indication of any network activity.
DSL Green. The DSL LED light up whenever there is a successful DSL
connection. The LED blinks while establishing the DSL connection.
Internet Green. The Internet LED light up green when an internet connection to
the internet Service Provider (ISP) session is established. The Internet
LED light up red when the connection to the ISP fails.

Chapter 4: Installation
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) modem uses a copper wire transmission technology to access
high speed broadband Internet over telephone lines. Although DSL internet connections use a
phone line, you can talk on the phone and surf simultaneously. There are two kinds of DSL
modems-ADSL modems and standard broadband modems. The installation process of a DSL
modem is divided into two steps: connecting the DSL modem and setting up the DSL
connection. Here's how you can install a DSL modem.

4.1. HARDWARE INSTALLATION

 Connecting the ADSL Modem

Overview
In this chapter, we will connect the Modem to DSL line and to a Computer in home or
business. It is not necessary to mount our Modem, but may be useful to conserve space. There
are two slots on the underside of the Modem that can be used for wall mounting.

We can connect the Modem to PC using either the Ethernet port or the USB port. If we use
the USB port, we will need to install a USB driver on the PC. Depending on our choice of
connection, please proceed to the appropriate section “Connecting using the Ethernet port” or
“Connecting using the USB port”.
In this book I only descript about how to in stall ADSL using Ethernet Port

 Connecting Using the Ethernet Port

A. Install ADSL Filter on the Phone line

1- Insert the Two-line filter into the phone outlet

and connect the phone to the hone line
connector (A) and Connect the other end of the phone
cable to the wall jack with DSL service.

Note: For countries that have phone jack with RJ-11 connectors, make sure to only place the
microfilters between the phone and the wall jack and not between the Modem and the wall
jack or our DSL will not connect.
For countries that do not have phone jacks with RJ-11 connector (e.g. France, Sweden,
Switzerland, United Kingdom, etc.) except for ISDN users, the microfilter has to be used
between the modem and the wall jack, because the microfilter will have the RJ-11 connector.

B. Connect ADSL Modem to ADSL Filter

1. Using the included phone cable

with RJ-11 jacks, connect the
ADSL port (B) of the ADSL
modem to the ADSL port (C) of
the included two-line Filter.

2- Connect one end of the provided Ethernet cable to our PC’s Ethernet port.
Connect the other end of the cable to the Ethernet port on the back of Modem.

Chapter 5: how to configure Access point

This article describes how to manually configure a Linksys Router for broadband DSL that
uses PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) for authentication.

Step 1: Before we Begin

In order to set up the Linksys Router, be sure to first have the following:
1. A Linksys Router.
2. A DSL modem.
3. A working computer that can be wired in directly to the router for initial
configuration and testing.
4. Two standard Ethernet network cables. Linksys Routers come with one
standard network cable that we can use.
5. The PPPoE DSL username and password assigned by Internet Service
Provider. Depending on the provider, username format might be similar to
username, 123456, or and e-mail address (username@camnet.com.kh).

Step 2: Check the Internet Connection

Before installing the Linksys Router, it is important to first verify that we can successfully
access the Internet by connecting directly to modem (without the Linksys Router installed).
1. If we are connecting for the first time, follow the instructions provided by your
provider to set up your modem and computer for online access.
2. Verify that we are able to access the Internet without any problems.
When we are able to access the internet using the modem, continue to Step 3 and proceed
with the installation of the Linksys Router.

Step 3: Connect the Hardware

Follow these steps to connect the Linksys router to our modem and computer.
1. Shut down the computer and unplug the power cords connected to the modem and
Linksys Router if they are currently powered on.
2. Disconnect the network cable that connects t the back of the computer.
3. Connect the network cable that we just removed to the Internet port (or WAN port)
located on the back of the Router. The modem should now be connected to the
Router.
4. Connect a second network cable back into the computer (into the same port that
was disconnected in #2).
5. Connect the other end of Router (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.). The computer should now
be connected to the Router.
The following diagram shows how the network should be connected. Verify that the
connections are correct, and continue to the next step.

Prepared by Heng Kimleang

Connect to the Internet by using ADSL Modem - 20 -

6. Plug the included power adapter into the router’s Power port. Then, plug the other
end of the power adapter into a nearby electrical outlet to supply power to the
Router.
7. Turn on the computer.

Do not turn on your modem at this time. Only the Router and computer should be turned on
for Step 4.

Configure the IP address manually

♦ Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for our PC.

Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx (xxx is from2 to

254), subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (The router’s default
IP address).

Obtain an IP address automatically

1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in “Obtain an IP address automatically” mode on

the PC.
2) Power off the router and PC. Then turn on the router and restart the PC. The
built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.

Now, we can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection
between our PC and the router. The following example is in window xp.
The result displayed is meaning that the connection between the PC and the router has been
established.

Prepared by Heng Kimleang

Connect to the Internet by using ADSL Modem - 21 -
If the result displayed like bellow is mean that the PC has not connected to the router.

Step 4: Configuration Router

With a web-based (Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) utility, it is easy to configure and
manage the wireless Router. The Web-based utility can be used on any windows, Macintosh
or Unix OS with a Web browser.
Follow these steps to configure the Linksys Router.

1. On the computer that is connected to the Router, open web browser by typing
http://192.168.1.1 in the address field of Web browser.

After a moment a login window will appear similar to install ADSL modem.

2. Enter admin for Username and Password, both in lower case letters. Then click
the OK button or press the Enter key.

Connect to the Internet by using ADSL Modem - 23 -
2. Verify that the modem is turned off (either by unplugging the power cord
or by using a power switch on the modem).
3. Unplug the power cord from the back of the router and confirm that the
front panel lights turned off.

At this stage, all devices (the modem, router, and computer) should be powered off.

4. Wait for about 30 seconds.

5. Plug in the modem’s power cord. If there is an additional power switch
required to power on the modem, be sure to use it to apply power and turn
on the modem.
6. Observe the indicator lights located on the modem and wait for the lights to
stop blinking. Alight indicating Power as well as DSL (or Internet, Online,
Ready, etc.) should become solid to indicate a connection to the Internet
Service Provider. The names of modem lights will vary depending on
modem brand and model.
7. Next, plug in the router’s power cord. After a few seconds, the Internet
light (or WAN lights) on the front of the router as well as additional lights
on the modem should turn on to indicate a connection.
8. Turn on the computer.

Step 6: Check the Connection

Follow these steps to check the connection to the Internet Service Provider.

• Connecting
If the status repeats with Connecting, your Linksys Router is having problems
connecting to your Internet Service Provider. Repeat the “Power Cycle” steps in Step 5 and
try again. Be sure to check for solid status and activity lights on the modem and the Internet
light (or WAN light) on the router. If these lights do not turn on or show any activity, try
using different network cables, power cycle all devices as described in Step 5, and try again.
• Disconnected
If the status show Disconnected, your Linksys Router was not able to establish
a connection to your Internet Service Provider. The solution is like ‘Connecting’ status.

• Connected
If the status is Connected, your Linksys Router successfully established a
connection to your Internet Service Provider and you should be able to access the Internet!

Chapter 6: Troubleshooting Your DSL Connection

All DSL Internet Access issues can be broken down into the two categories of
synchronization and non-synchronization. This is also called “synch but no surf”, and “No
synch” If you are synched up but cannot reach the Internet, this means that though your DSL
modem has made a connection to your telephone services central office, you are not
authenticating through your provider or are not reaching the Internet. If you are not synched,
your modem has failed to reach your phone service’s central office.

The first step in troubleshooting should always be to restart all of our equipment. This means
turning off our computer and unplugging your modem. Turning modem off may not be
enough to get it to restart itself, so always unplug its power source. Leave your modem off for
1 minute, then plug it back in and turn on our computer. If this doesn’t solve our problem, see
if your modem is synchronized with your service by checking its connection light.

6.1 Troubleshooting DSL Access with Synchronization

If you are synchronized with your DSL service, the connection light on our modem should be
solid. Depending on our DSL modem manufacturer, this light might be called Connection,
Online, Internet, or any number of other names. If this light is solid that means we are in
synch with DSL internet service. If we are still unable to access the internet, the number of
possible problems on our end is very limited. Possible problems are:

NIC Card – The Network Interface Card (NIC) that is installed in our computer is
faulty or unseated. If you know how to install a NIC card, then it is simple enough to make
sure that the card is securely seated and in its card slot, and that the appropriate drivers are
installed on your computer. See the manual that came with our NIC card for specifics.

Configuration issue – The DSL modem that we are using does not work
with current service, or is misconfigured in some way. This is almost never the case if you
received our modem from our DSL provider, and seldom occurs in new devices. If this is the
problem, we will need to change the default protocol on the modem itself to match the
protocol of our DLS Internet Service. If we are unsure how this is done, contact our modem
manufacturer for specifics.
If our modem is in synch and neither of these possible fixes alleviated the connection issue,
then call our ISP and have them troubleshoot our line for excessive line noise. It is possible
that the phone line in our area are having an outage, or that they are so noisy your packet loss
is preventing a clear connection.

6.2 Troubleshooting DSL Access without Synchronization

If the modem is out of synch with our service this means that the modem’s connection light is
on, but blinking. Some is preventing a connection to the phone service central office, and the
problem is probably on the end. Check the following issues:

DSL Line Filters – DSL modem more than likely came with several phone line
adapters called filters. These filters are designed to prevent noise interference from the phone
lines to our DSL modem. Without these filters in place, it is possible that we will be unable to
synch with our service due to line noise. Be sure every phone jack that has something plugged
into it has a filter. Even one unfiltered jack can prevent connectivity.

Telephone Jack – It is possible that the phone jack have our DSL modem plugged

into it too far away from the phone service’s Minimum Point of Entry (MPoE). The MPoE is
a box outside the huse or apartment, and is the location that all the phone lines run through.
Plug our DSL modem into the phone jack that is closest to the MPoE. If we are not sure
which one this is, try them all. If we remove a DSL filter during this process, do not forget to
replace it. If we synch up with our service at another jack, but not the one we want for our
Modem, it is possible that we have an internal wiring issue or a DSL filer problem.

Firewall- if we are running a firewall, then our security setting might be so high that
it is preventing our modem from making a connection. Disable
our firewall, unplug our modem and let it restart. If we synch with
our service, check our firewall setting and lower the security
setting, or set it too recognize our network connection as safe.

Most of the time, these simple fixes should get to the Internet and save us a lot of time
talking on the phone with ISP’s support personnel.
However, if fixing these issues still does not solve our problem, then we need to call to ISP
for more information about the customer account in DNS’s database or other information.

6.3 Common Problems and Solutions

1. I am not getting an IP address on the Internet with my Internet connection.

Verify the connection:
1. Make sure you are using the right Internet connection settings. Contact your ISP to
see if your Internet connection type is RFC 1483 Bridged, RFC 2516 PPPoE, or
RFC 2364 PPPoA, or Bridged Only. Please refer to Setup section for details on
Internet connection settings. Verify that the VPI and VCI setting are correct.
2. Make sure you have the right cable. Check to see if the Modem column has a
solidly lit DSL LED.
3. Make sure the cable connecting from your Modem’s DSL port is connected to the
wall jack of the DSL service line.
4. Turn off the computer and Modem. Wait 30 seconds, and then turn on the Modem,
and computer. Check the Status tab of the Modem’s web-based utility to see if you
get an IP address.
2. I forgot my password, or the password prompt always appears when I am saving
setting to the Modem.
Reset the Modem to factory default by pressing the Reset button for 10 seconds and
then releasing it. If you are still getting prompted for a password when saving setting,
then perform the following steps:
1. Access the Modem’s web-based utility by going to http://192.168.1.1 or the IP
address of the Modem. Enter the default username and password admin, and click
the Administrator => Management tab.
2. Enter a different password in the Modem Password field, and enter the same
password in the second field to confirm the password.
3. Click the Save Setting button.

4. My DSL service’s PPPoE is always disconnecting.

PPoE is not actually a dedicated or always-on connection. The DSL ISP can
disconnect the service after a period of inactivity, just like a normal phone dial-up connection
to the Internet.
• There is a setup option to “Keep Alive” the connection. This may be not
always working, so you may need to reestablish connection periodically.

1. To connect to the Modem, go to web browser, and enter the IP
address of the Modem.
2. Enter the username and password, if asked.
3. On the Setup screen, select the option Keep Alive, and set the Redial
Period option at 1 minute.
4. Click the Save Settings button. Click the Status tab, and click the
Connect button.
5. You may see the login status display as Connecting. Press the F5 key
to refresh the screen, until you see the login status display as
Connected.
6. Click the Save Settings button to continue.
• If the connection lost again, follow steps 1-6 to re-establish connection.
