Getting Started

If you can see the sync light on your DSL modem, but you can’t surf the Web, it may be that the modem configuration is incompatible with the protocol used by Cruzio. This is very often the case for DSL modems older than June 2001 or modems that were used with another ISP.

The instructions below outline how to access some common modem interfaces.

Each modem typically has a vpi and vci setting (also known as vp and vc). For all new Cruzio DSL connections, the settings in the modem should be configured to: vp=0 vc=35. If you’ve had your DSL for a couple of years, try: vp=8 vc=35.
