The department supply one ADSL Technology Modem(also called CPE),Splitter,LAN cable,a small RJ-11 Telephone cable and modem adapter. Generally when internet is coming from landline phone then there is noise in the line. So we can not talk with others,cannot receive calls when net is coming from the phone.

Bsnl Broadband is based on ADSL Technology. It uses PPPOE protocol for authentication and accounting the user access. The ADSL Modem supplied by bsnl is a multifeatured powerful router. This ADSL Modem can be configured in two modes.

Bridge Mode:
All ADSL Modems by default come with Bridge Mode setting. This is factory's default setting. All these modems uses PPPOE protocol. So we have to install PPPOE client software on our P.C. This software is inbuilt with Windows XP. So for Windows XP systems we need not require this software. But for Other operating systems we require this software. Some PPPOE client softwares are available on the internet for free.

PPPOE Router Mode:
In this mode there is no need to install PPPOE client software on our P.C. This software is inbuilt in modem. In order to get internet we have to give some settings in ADSL Modem and also we have to give some settings to TCP/IP properties of our P.C. In my next article(Bsnl Broadband Configuration) I will clearly explain those settings to you. It is very simple. You can also do the settings to your P.C after reading that article.

In PPPOE Router mode the modem works as a Router and the PPPOE session terminates on WAN port of Router(For understanding Router please read my article “Local Area Network” under NETWORKING section in the same blog). In this mode we can use the advanced features of Router and powerful diagnostic tool for trouble shooting the connection problem. This mode has got all the advanced features like Firewall,IP Address lists,VPN Pass through,NAT,Port Forwarding.
