Hello Dharam:

If you haven't already received a broadband modem from bsnl you will need to get one. The modem will connect to your computer via an ethernet port with a cat 5 cable, hopefully your computer is new enough that it has one.

It sounds like you're trying and use a regular telephone cord with an RJ 11 connector, you will need to use a cat 5 cable with an RJ 45 connector, the RJ 11 will plug-in to an RJ-45 receptor but it will not work.

If you do not have an ethernet port on your computer, you can purchase a relatively inexpensive card to add that capability to your computer.

I've included a couple of links, one from your ISP, and another describing the category 5 cable connectors.

good luck

How is your new broadband delivered? As you are able to plug it into your old modem, I am assuming it is ADSL. Your old system was making a voice-quality phone call and your modem was talking audio frequencies to a similar modem at the other end. Now that you are on ADSL, there is a second 'voice channel' on that phone line, but it uses completely different frequencies and modulations etc. You will need an ADSL modem, your old Voice/Fax/Data modem will not be able to understand the new signals.

Per the previous post, see your Intenet providor for a modem. I'm suprised they didn't give you one when they hooked you up with the ADSL?

Re: Modem

Hello dharam:

If you can provide us with a little more information it would be helpful. The system here in the US functions the same as babybear describes for the UK system, both require a DSL modem. So I guess my question would be.

1. Have you received a new modem from bsnl (from what I can tell this is India's exclusive ISP provider)

As Previously stated both in the US and the UK a separate broadband modem is required, due to technical requirements this should be a universal necessity.

One other possibility comes to mind, once the provider is connected to you the DSL system it is quite probable that a regular analog modem (assuming this is what is built into your machine) will not function without having a low pass filter (these are usually provided with your DSL modem) in the line. So if you're still waiting for your DSL modem, and your service has already been activated this could be a potential problem.

I have included a symbol for an ethernet connection, this is normally where the cable from the DSL modem would plug in to your computer (I'm ignoring wireless for the moment) and as previously stated this requires a different cable then a standard telephone cable, so you may want to check your computer and see if it has a connection point with this or a similar symbol.

Please keep us informed of your progress, and do not be timid about asking any further questions.

PS:our post overlapped so I only have a couple of minutes ADSL will still requirea separate DSL modemI am including a link that should supply you withsome useful information.

Hello dharm:

It all sounds like everything is hooked up right, my question is it working.

If it is not, there are multiple indicator lights on the external modem, typically you should have all greenlight's, if you have a good connection to both your computer and the ISP, and you are logged on.

I'm including a link at including a link to another forum thread that may contain some useful information should you be having problems.

Please advise us of how things are going.

Re: Modem

12/22/2008 8:44 AM

Hello dharam_ver9@yahoo.co.in:,

I am assuming you were on a dial-up connection and, you now want full broadband?

If the modem in your computer Case, on the Motherboard?......it is almost certainly a dial up modem.

To use broadband you must have a broadband modem. These are something separate from the computer and connect to the computer via a cable or they can be wireless. They are usually given to you when you start a contract with an ISP (Internet Service Provider). This is how it is in the UK, it may be different in India.

Good luck and please ask any more questions you need to.

Take care and have a wonderful holiday......................

but now i want to use this with bsnl brodband.and it is not working.

************ Un-Quote ************

I think originally he was worried about from one Telephone-line to another .

No matter he got Wide-Band connection [DSL or ADSL].

The Modem should work on telephone-line whether with a wideband service or otherwise.

Wideband or ADSL Splits the Phone line in two Bands with Low-Pass filter for Phone

normally from DC to nearly 3.xKHz [remember that Ringing frequency of Phone is nearly 18Hz.

The other is passed through Hi-Pass filter [some what above 3.xKHz ] It blocks all the signals

in Phone freqency band [Have capacitors in series & some LC network].

There seems to be no problem for working of original Dialup with all the original settings on THE PHONE CHANNEL;

NOT ON ADSL Channel.

ADSL Modem may have USB connection for PC; depends on type supplied.

Some ADSL Modems [Routers] have built-in Low-Pass filter for phone to be connected on working bench instead of Wall-socket.

In general at home Line is connected to Channel-Splitter; from output of splitter 2 channels [low-pass for phone & Hi-pass for Wideband].

Whenever there was a problem with ADSL service I had been using the Line-modem for Internet.

LinkSys Router I had been using has 2 Phone, 1 Internet & 3 Ethernet Ports.

The other wireless @ 2.4GHz has 1 Internet & 4 Ethernet ports.

Zoom ADSL Modem has 1 each of Phone, USB & Ethernet Port.

All are set automatically after a power breakdown with a Reset Button.

Regards
