To install the modem's device driver, you must have the Cisco605 Support CD ready.
This sequence may vary according to which version of Win9X is involved. Just follow the wizard. Note: PPP mode is not an option with the 605.

Turn "on" the power to your computer.

Windows 95 automatically detects your new hardware and displays the Update Device Driver Wizard. The wizard shows that it detected a PCI ATM Controller.

NOTE: If the internal modem isn't installed correctly, the wizard may not appear. 

Insert the Cisco 605 Support CD in the CD-ROM Drive.

Click Next.

Click the Other Location button.

In the Other Location box, type: [CD-ROM letter]:\rfc1483\win95.
Replace [CD-ROM letter] with the letter for the CD-ROM drive on your computer. Don't type the brackets!
For example, if your CDROM drive letter is D, type D:\rfc1483\win95.

Click OK

Click Finish.
The Insert Disk window appears with the message: The disk labeled Cisco605 1483 and PPP Driver CD is now required.

Click OK.

The Copying Files window appears.

In the Copying Files From: box, type [CD-ROM letter]:\rfc1483\win95.
Replace [CD-ROM letter] with the letter for the CD-ROM drive on your computer.

Click OK
while copying files, Windows displays a message that it is installing the Cisco605 PCI ADSL Adapter Driver for 1483 Bridging. When Windows is finished, it displays the Cisco DSL PCI RFC1483 MAC Address Window.

Type the MAC address that you wrote down on page 22 of your manual.

Click OK

Eject the Cisco605 Support CD

Click the Windows Start button, and then click Shut Down and Restart the computer.

Step 2: Confirm Device Driver Installation

This step confirms that the internal modem and its device driver were installed properly.

Check the right side of the Windows taskbar for a rectangular green icon. This icon, called the Cisco605 Commander represents the internal modem.

Double-click the My Computer icon.

Double-click the Control Panel icon.

Double-click the System icon.

Click the Device Manager tab.

Click Network adapters on the list. The following item should appear under Network adapters:

If it appears without a red "X" or yellow exclamation point, you have successfully installed the modem's device driver. If it has a red "X" or yellow exclamation point, the modem's device driver has not been installed properly. 

Click OK

Double Click the Network Icon.

Click the Configuration tab.

The following two items should appear on the list:

Cisco605 PCI ADSL Adapter Driver for 1483 Bridging

TCP/IP  (There may be several TCP/IP entries with different wording.)

Close all windows.

<next: configure TCP/IP> <return to top for more options>

Step 3: Configure TCP/IP Networking

This step configures Window's TCP/IP networking software so that you can connect your modem to our ISP.

1. Click the Windows Start Button.

Select Settings.

Select Control Panel.

Double-click the Network icon.

2. On the Configuration tab, click the TCP/IP entry and then click Properties.
If your computer has two TCP/IP devices, TCP/IP will appear twice. Click the TCP/IP entry with the name of the device, for example: 605 PCI ADSL Adapter Driver for 1483 Bridging.

3. Configure TCP/IP for Static IP Addressing..

Click the button for "Specify an IP address"

Type their values for IP address and/or Subnet Mask.

Make sure that the button for "Obtain an IP address automatically" is not selected.

Click the DNS Configuration tab and type all the values that your ISP gave you.

Click the WINS Configuration tab and type all the values that your ISP gave you.

Click the Gateway tab and type all the values that your ISP gave you.

4. Click OK to close the TCP/IP window.

5. Click OK to close the Network window.

Windows prompts you to restart your computer.

6. Click Yes

Step 4: Connect to ISP

This step makes a MegaBit connection to your ISP or to your company's network.

• Double-click the Cisco605 Commander icon on the Windows taskbar.
• Click the Connect button.

  The connection state should go through the following three states:

• Dialing
• Proceeding
• Connected

  You can see the status of the connection by watching the rectangular green Cisco605 commander icon on the Windows taskbar. A gray border around the icon shows that there is no connection. The icon and its border turn bright green while the modem is making a connection. Making a connection may take up to 30 seconds. The icon and its border turn blue when the modem establishes a MegaBit connection. Lights blink on the icon when the modem sends or receives data. If the icon and its border remain bright green, or if the icon's border becomes gray again, you don't have a MegaBit connection.

• To disconnect from MegaBit services, click the Disconnect button.
• Go to Step 5: Check the MegaBit Connection

  No Connection? Commander icon never turns blue?
  The modem has failed to establish a MegaBit connection. First, go back to Step 3: Connect Modem to Telephone Line on page 25 of the manual and check to make sure that the phone line providing the MegaBit connection is plugged into the WALL port on the modem. If the phone line is plugged into the modem correctly, restart Windows and repeat the instructions in this step. If the Cisco605 Commander icon still doesn't turn blue, you do not have a MegaBit connection. Call 1-800-247-7285.

  <next: check connection> <return to top for more options>

   

Step 5: Check The MegaBit Connection

This step checks your MegaBit connection and measures the signal quality. If the MegaBit signal quality is marginal, you may have problems with your MegaBit connection.

1. Double-click the Cisco605 Commander icon.
2. Click the link tab.
   This tab shows information about your MegaBit connection, including the line quality.
   
   The link state can be:
   1. Down
   2. Searching
   3. Training
   4. Trained

   These states are similar to the connection states that appear on the Call tab: Idle, Dialing, Proceeding, and Connected.
   The "upstream" and "downstream" values show your service level.

3. Make a note of your Line Quality value.
4. Click the Settings tab.
   This windows shows your Baud rate, for example, 952 baud.
5. Click the Call tab.
6. Click the Disconnect button.
7. Close the window.
8. Install and/or launch browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape.
