The Zoom Bridge Modem is an ADSL 2/2+ modem with an Ethernet interface to a computer or a router. The Model 5715 provides a very stable system installation with a simplified set of configuration options to ensure problem free operation. The Bridge Modem works with any operating system which supports an Internet browser, including Windows, Macintosh OS & Linux. The Zoom Bridge Modem automatically detects the ADSL network settings. The Model 5715 also supports the use of third party PPPo E client software to provide compatibility with the widest range of service providers. For most installations, the Model 5715 simply plugs into the ADSL-provisioned phone line & uses the factory settings. In the unusual event the factory default settings need to be changed, an easy-to-use graphic interface is accessed using any Web browser software. Please note: networking components such as switches, routers, UPS & wireless devices require that speeds & standards be consistent throughout the network to gain optimum performance.
