AccessRunner
ADSL Modem Device Set for PCI Applications
Controller-less, Scalable, Discrete Multitone-based, G.dmt- and G.lite-
compliant, ADSL Modem Device Set for PCI Applications
Conexant’s AccessRunner ADSL modem device set is compliant
with the full-rate ANSI T1.413 Issue 2 and ITU G.dmt (G.992.1)
ADSL standards, and with the splitterless ITU G.lite (G.992.2)
specification. This rate-adaptive solution is designed for controller-
less PCI desktop applications and supports downstream data rates
of up to 8 Mbps and upstream data rates of up to 1 Mbps.
Features
• Complete controller-less PCI ADSL
solution
• Compliant with ADSL standards
− Full-rate ANSI T1.413 Issue 2 and ITU
G.dmt (G.992.1) standards
− Splitterless ITU G.lite (G.992.2)
specification
The device set takes advantage of the processing power available
with most new computers by eliminating the need for a separate
microcontroller, resulting in a cost-effective solution suitable for
both G.dmt and G.lite applications. Host-based software provides
support for current industry standards for PPP over AAL5 over
ATM over ADSL and RFC 1483 for Windows 98 and Windows
2000.
• DMT modulation and demodulation
• Full-rate adaptive modem
− Maximum downstream rate of 8 Mbps
− Maximum upstream rate of 1 Mbps
• Supports splitterless ADSL
implementation
• WAN mode support: PPP over AAL5/ATM
over ADSL via Windows 98/2000
• LAN mode support: RFC 1483 via
Windows 98/2000
• Compliant with PCI Local Bus
