Getting to Know the ADSL Ethernet
Modem
Overview
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), the most popular residential
DSL technology, provides high-speed Internet access over regular, copper
phone lines by maximizing bandwidth use. In this way, ADSL Internet service
can coexist on the same line as your phone service, without disrupting calls.
ADSL is “asymmetric” because it downloads, or receives data, faster than it
uploads, or transmits data. Asymmetric operation is ideal for home and small
office use where f iles and information are downloaded more frequently than
uploaded.
Powe r The Powe r port is where you will connect the
power adapter.
Console This port is reserved for future development and is
currently of no use.
Line This port connects your modem to your ADSL
line.
LAN This LAN (Local Area Network) port connects to
your PC with the included network cable. You can
also connect network devices, such as a hubs and
switches with a straight-through RJ-45 cable or use
a cross-over RJ-45 cable to connect a router.
