The StormPort 400 Modem
The StormPort 400 modem is used with an Ethernet-configured PC and an
ordinary phone line to access the Internet or corporate intranet at
multi-megabit speeds. The StormPort 400 Modem permits simultaneous voice
(or analog data) transmission on the same telephone line. The standard
telephone cable provided in the installation kit can be used to connect a
telephone, fax, or answering machine directly to your StormPort 400 Modem.
This document contains the necessary procedures for installing and using the
StormPort 400 Modem.
The StormPort 400 Modem and the EtherLoop System
The StormPort 400 Modem is a component of an EtherLoop system.
EtherLoop is an Elastic Networks technology that supports high-speed data
simulaneously with voice using existing phone lines. If the other network
components of the EtherLoop system have not been correctly installed, the
StormPort 400 Modem will not work.
Contact your service provider or distributor technical support if you have
problems completing the installation.
Always-on Internet connection
The StormPort 400 Modem is a state-of-the-art, high-speed data modem that
delivers an “always-on” connection to a service provider or corporate
Information Service (IS) network. This direct access eliminates the
time-consuming dial-up sequence that is required by other modems and grants
immediate access to the Internet in addition to much faster upload/download
speeds.
Factory-tested components
The StormPort 400 Modem has been factory-tested. If you have a problem
using the modem, review the procedures in this guide. Contact your service
provider or distributor technical support if you have questions.
