DSL Setup for Intel 2100

  1. Install the Modem's Device Driver
    Note: You need to install the card into a PCI slot in your computer. Follow the steps in Chapter 3 of the manual that came with the Intel 2100 for proper installation.
    • Turn on the computer. Windows should boot and say that it detected a PCI ATM Controller. Click 'Next'.
      Note: If Windows doesn't detect the new card, it may not be seated properly or may be defective. Shut down Windows, turn the computer off, and go through the steps in Chapter 3 of the manual again. Make sure the Intel card is firmly planted in the PCI slot. If Windows still won't detect the Intel card, you will want to call Qwest DSL support.
    • In the next window, select "Search to find best driver.." and click on 'Next'.
    • Make sure the CD-ROM that came with the Intel 2100 is in the CD-ROM drive and make sure that "CD-ROM drive" is the only option checked. Click 'Next'.
    • Windows should then find the driver on the CD and say it's ready to install it, click on 'Next'.
      Note: If Windows is unable to find the driver on the CD, make sure you have the "Intel 2100 PRO/DSL" CD in the CD drive. If you have more than one CD drive, try placing it in the other drives.
    • Windows should then start installing the drivers for the Intel card. After the drivers are installed, a window will come up saying that it is done. Click on 'Finish'.

  2. Installing the Intel 2100 PRO/DSL software.
    • Windows will restart the computer. When it comes back up, it should automatically start the "Intel PRO/DSL Modem Setup" program.
      Note: If the setup program does not automatically start, go through the following steps:
      • Make sure the Intel 2100 Pro CD is still in the CD drive.
      • Double click on the 'My Computer' icon.
      • Double click on the CD-ROM drive.
      • In there should be a file "Setup.exe" or "Setup" with a picture of a computer. Double click on it.
    • A 'Welcome' window of the installation program should appear. Click on 'Next'.
    • The 'Introduction' window should appear. Click on 'Next'.
      Note: If TCP/IP is not already installed in Windows networking, the installer will now want to add it. Click on 'Install TCP/IP' and follow the instructions given. You may need to supply the Windows 98 CD.
    • The next window asks which type of connection to use. Make sure to select Point-to-Point(PPP) and click on 'Next'.
      Note: Make sure to select "Point-to-Point". Otherwise the connection will not work and the driver will need to be removed and re-installed.
    • A message saying that the computer must be restarted should appear. Click on 'Restart'.
      Note: Windows may prompt for the Windows 98 CD. If it does, you need to supply it in order for the needed file to be installed.

  3. Configuring the Intel 2100 PRO/DSL software.
    • When the computer comes back up, an 'Enter Network Password' box may appear. If it does, enter something for the username (it doesn't matter what). Leave the password box blank. Then click on 'Ok'.
    • In the next window, make sure 'Server assigned IP address' is selected and click on 'Next'.
    • In the next window, make sure 'Server assigned name server address(dynamic)' is selected and click on 'Next'.
    • At the Finish window, make sure the "Run the DSL Diagnostics Tests now" box is checked and click on 'Finish'.
      Note: At this point the Intel 2100 should be fully installed and configured. The remaining steps cover testing the line and how to connect.

  4. Testing and Connecting the Intel 2100 PRO/DSL.
    • The DSL Diagnostics Tests program should appear. Click on DSL Modem Test. The program will test to make sure the computer can talk to the Intel 2100.
    • When the test is completed, a message appears. If the Intel 2100 passed, click on 'Next'.
      Note: If there is a problem, that must be resolved before continuing. Click on 'Help' to get some troubleshooting information. If you need further help, you should call Qwest DSL support.
    • In the next section, click on 'MegaBit Service Test'. The program will test to see if the Intel 2100 can talk to Qwest's DSL equipment at the phone switch.
    • When the test is completed, a message appears. If the connection passed, click on 'Next'.
      Note: If there is a problem, that must be resolved before continuing. Click on 'Help' to get some troubleshooting information. If you need further help, you can call Icehouse technical services.
    • In the next section, click on the 'Connect' button.
    • If a Setup window appears, click on 'Ok'.
    • In the 'Connect To' window that comes up, type in your user ID and password. Make sure in the 'Phone' number field that it has the number as "1,1". Then click 'Connect' button.
    • Once a connection is made, a 'Connection Established' dialog box may appear click the 'Close' button. At that point, go back to 'DSL Diagnostics Test' program.
    • Click on the link in the window and Qwest's web page should appear.
    • Note: If a connection wasn't made or the Qwest page did not come up, then you should call Icehouse technical services.

Also Note:
  • Connecting to Icehouse is not automatic (as it is with the Cisco 675 external DSL equipment).
  • In the right-hand side of the taskbar (the bar with the Start button) will be an icon for the Connection Manager. Double click on that icon to bring up the program.
  • Alternately, you should also find the Connection Manager by going to Start--Programs--Intel(R) PRO DSL--Connection Manager.
  • Either way, once the Connection Manager is up, click on the Connect button.
  • As the Intel tries to connect, the three "lights" under the Status section will turn green at each stage. When the connection attempt is completed, the Connect button will change to Disconnect.
  • If you want to disconnect from Icehouse, click on that Disconnect button.
