The Elite Modem
The Elite modem allows an end user with an Ethernet-configured PC and an 
ordinary phone line to access the Internet or corporate intranet at 
multi-megabit speeds. The Elite Modem also permits simultaneous voice (or 
analog data) transmission on the same telephone line. You can use the standard 
telephone cable provided in the installation kit to connect a telephone, fax, or 
answering machine directly to your Elite Modem. 
This document contains all of the procedures you need to install and use the 
Elite Modem. This guide takes you through step-by-step procedures for 
installing the modem. 
The Elite Modem and the EtherLoop System
The Elite 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 Elite modem will not 
work. 
Contact your service provider or distributor technical support if you have 
problems completing the installation.
Always-on Internet connection
The Elite 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. You won’t have to dial and wait to 
access the Internet or download large files to your home computer.
Factory-tested components
The Elite 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.
