1.2 Choosing the connection interface
You can choose between the connection interfaces based on a number of criteria:
• Interface not available: your computer may not have an Ethernet card or an Ethernet
port.
• USB devices already used (keyboard, mouse, etc).
If you already have several USB devices, you are advised to use the
Ethernet interface to ensure that your Internet connection will be set up in
the best possible conditions.
!
The USB interface always takes priority over the Ethernet interface.
When both these interfaces are installed, disconnecting the USB side
prevents the modem from working on its Ethernet interface.
To work in this way, you must disconnect the power supply from the modem
and then reconnect it.
The SAGEM F@stTM 908 / 948 can be connected to a local area network
(LAN) via an Ethernet/Ethernet router (installed in Ethernet mode).
The SAGEM F@st™ 908 / 948 is powered from a mains adapter unit. It does
not use the power supply provided by the USB interface.
