This chapter describes the Cisco 605 Personal Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) Modem, its features, and the platforms on which it runs.
The Cisco 605 Personal PCI ADSL modem is a PCI adapter for use in PCI-compliant personal computers. Designed for easy installation, it slides into any PCI slot. Using the high-speed technology of ADSL, the Cisco 605 provides a connection to networks such as your corporate LAN or the Internet.
Figure 1-1 illustrates the Cisco 605.
This section describes features supported by the Cisco 605.

This section describes the Cisco 605 functionality. The Cisco 605 works as follows:
1. Install the Cisco 605 into a standard PCI slot on your system.
2. Then install the driver software. The driver software for the Cisco 605 is shipped in two flavors:
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) dictates which driver you use depending on the network
The Cisco 605 software is shipped with the Cisco 605 Commander, which allows you to display and change the ADSL parameters associated with the Cisco 605. The following sections describe the driver software and Cisco 605 Commander.
To install the Point to Point Protocol (PPP) driver on Windows NT Version 4.0, use the Remote Access Service (RAS). Windows 95 and Windows 98 auto-detect new hardware. Therefore, you do not need RAS to install the PPP driver software on either of these platforms. After you install the driver software, use DUN to dial out on all three platforms. For Windows 95, DUN 1.2 or greater is required. Refer to "Using the Cisco 605 PPP Software" for more information.
To make your connection, use the Cisco 605 Commander for any of the three Windows platforms. Refer to "Using the Cisco 605 1483 Software" for more information.
To access the Cisco 605 Commander in Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, or Windows 98, double-click the Cisco 605 icon that appears in the system tray after you install the Cisco 605 software. The Cisco 605 Commander opens, which allows you to view and change configuration settings.
Refer to "Viewing and Changing Cisco 605 Settings" for more information.
Using PPP on the Windows NT Version 4.0 platform, the Cisco 605 supports multiple virtual ports and multiple virtual circuits (VCs). Using these VCs, you can designate up to three ADSL virtual connections and set each connection to a different destination. The connections are identical to each other and share the same amount of bandwidth.
Table 1-1 describes the function of Cisco 605 rear panel LEDs.
