Australian-bought ADSL router. Will it work in Europe? |
|
|
Hi all!
The following: a friend of mine has returned from Australia with a
Billion Bipac 5100 ADSL router
(http://www.billion.com/product/adsl/bipac5100.htm). Will this router
function here in Europe (in Norway, to be more specific)?
And if it will, are there any settings that need changing?
Regards,
Evert |

You have to ask your ISP if it is compatible with their equipment.

There are different applications of ADSL technology; G.lite, G.DMT, G.test, G.OAM and G.HS
are just some examples. Like I said, you have to contact the ISP to see what hardware is
compatible with their application of ADSL.

Your modem should work fine in Europe, just verify with your ISP the values
of VP/VC (Virtual Path/Virtual Circuit).. The values used by most US
providers are 0/35, but some modems came with default of 8/35...
Good luck

So the application of ADSL technology is ISP-independent, not
country-independent?
And is it up to the ISP, or to the line-owner (2 different companies)
to decide?

If anything...
ISP Dependent, country independent.
In my case the ISP and the line owner are the same.

it depends on what dslam they isp is using. generally if it's adsl you
should have no trouble unless you are far from the central office or RT
location. or if your isp is using some special configuration in their dslam
like s=1/2 and maybe this modem might not support.

Hi!
Please note that Norway uses ADSL Annex B in order to support ISDN. I do not
know what Annex your Australian modem is. (A or B)

the modem was Annex A. Does this mean it also should be set to annex B
when used on an analogue line in Norway?
(It's now changed to Annex B since I've tested the modem on an ISDN
line (different ISP), just to see whether it was faulty or not. It
worked fine there.)
Will it now also work on an analogue line with this Annex B firmware?

Evert |

Hei Evert!
In Norway all modems are Annex B even if used over POTS (analog line).
If you can set the modem from Annex A to Annex B then it should work.
Note. I've never seen a multi modem that supports both Annex A and Annex B,
but there are many modems out there...
The main difference between A and B is the start frequency. To my knowledge
Annex A and B modems have a different FW and analog frontend (filter).

Ah... The Billion website simply says Annex A=POTS, Annex B=ISDN. A bit
misguiding... :-/
Well, I'll give it a try as soon as I get at the home of the poor owners
of that ADSL-router... ;)
Thanks, everyone! :)

Evert
