| - | ====== ADSL Overview ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The Internet Gate includes an ADSL modem for Internet access. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The ADSL technology offers high-speed fixed Internet connections over existent twisted-pair telephone lines. No new wiring is necessary and the telephone line is kept open for ordinary voice calls. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ADSL uses two pieces of equipment, one is your ADSL modem, and one is a modem, or a so-called DSL Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) located at your Internet Service Provider. The DSLAM is the equipment that really allows ADSL to happen. A DSLAM takes connections from many customers and aggregates them onto a single, high-capacity connection to the Internet. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The Internet Gate ADSL modem is compatible with DSLAMs from all major suppliers currently available on the market. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Splitter ===== | ||
| - | The ADSL technology uses existent twisted-pair telephone lines to provide high-speed fixed Internet connections. The ADSL signals are added to the wires carrying the standard telephone signals in the Central Offices. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Although the existing plain old telephone service and ADSL occupy distinct channels, they might influence one another. | ||
| - | |||
| - | In telephone devices ADSL signals can cause audible noise, telephone devices on their turn can interfere with ADSL signals causing degradation in data throughput. | ||
| - | |||
| - | To avoid this interference, a splitter is connected between the telephone outlet and the ADSL modem used. The splitter splits the two signals, preventing them to interfere on one another. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Your Internet Gate package includes an external splitter. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== ADSL Settings ===== | ||
