There are many different types of connection media that are used in
contemporary society to connect computer networks to one another. In terms
of wired connections, there is coaxial cable, fiber-optic cable, USB cable and
traditional telephone lines. These are the most common network connections.
Wireless technologies differ hugely from one another, but the most popular
kinds are Bluetooth and WiFi.

What is It
A DSL modem provides you with high speed Internet connectivity by connecting your PC
with your phone lines which enables both services to be used simultaneously without
interfering with one another. You may have obtained a DSL modem through your Internet
Service Provider or you can choose to purchase one from an electronics store in your local
area or online. Below are the procedures in Setting Up a DSL Connection.
There are filters that are necessary to install which may be included with your DSL modem
or you may be required to purchase them separately. The filters should be installed into
the phone outlets in your home that are not providing your DSL Internet connection. The
filters allow you to use your telephone and the Internet simultaneously and without
interference.
Unpack the DSL modem and then plug it into the nearest AC outlet and then turn on the
unit. Plug the modem into the telephone outlet that does not have a filter installed.
With a DSL Internet connection you will be provided a modem. Additionally you will need
a regular telephone cable, an Ethernet cable and a telephone jack where the DSL signal is
available. General steps for connecting a modem are:
5
Step 1. Connect a regular telephone cable from the telephone jack to the modem. Usually
the modem's port will say "DSL" for this connection.
Step 2. Plug the modem's power cable from a power outlet to the modem. The modem will
begin it's boot up process. Most modems will have a DSL (or DSL-link) light. That light
should blink as the modem is trying to connect and then go solid.
Step 3. Connect an Ethernet cord from the modem to your computer or router. Your
computer or router should automatically establish the connection and get online.
These are the basic steps you should follow prior to configuring the DSL modem to
provide high speed Internet connectivity. It is also important to note that the setup process
we have described here is basically the common method used for all types of DSL modems
across the board. You may have a modem that contains a firewall that is included with the
unit which will need to be setup as well.
To get DSL for your home or business, you have to contact a DSL provider. In addition
to your phone company, there are many other DSL providers. No matter who provides the
DSL service, some work has to be done at your central office-the place where your phone
lines connect to the rest of the phone network. The work involves connecting your phone line
to equipment that can work with the DSL modem at your home or office. The central office
equipment and the DSL modem at your location can then do whatever magic is needed to
send and receive digital data over your phone line. Because of the need to set up your line at
the central office, it takes some time after you place an order to get your line ready for DSL.
If DSL is available, you can look for the types of service-ADSL versus SDSL-and the
pricing. The price depends on the download and upload speeds you want. Sometimes phone
companies offer a simple residential DSL that's basically the G.lite form of ADSL with
1,500/128 speed rating-meaning that you can download at 1,500 Kbps and upload at 128
Kbps. After selecting the type of DSL service and provider, you can place an order and have
the provider install the necessary equipment at your home or office.
6
Figure 13-2 shows a sample connection diagram for typical residential DSL.
Figure 13-3 shows a typical setup the connects a LAN to the Internet through a NAT router
and a DSL modem.
7
Here are the points to note when setting up a connection like the one shown in Figure 13-3:
• You need a NAT router with two 10Base-T Ethernet ports (the 10Base-T port looks like
a large phone jack, also known as RJ-45 jack). Typically one Ethernet port is labeled
Internet (or External or WAN for Wide Area Network) and the other one is labeled Local
or LAN (for Local Area Network).
• You also need an Ethernet hub. For a small home network, you can buy a 4- or 8-port
Ethernet hub. Basically, you want a hub with as many ports as the number of PCs you
want to connect to your LAN.
• Connect the Ethernet port of the DSL modem to the Internet port of the NAT router
using a 10Base-T Ethernet cable (these look like phone wires with bigger RJ-45 jacks
and are often labeled Category 5 or Cat 5 wire).
• Connect the Local Ethernet port of the NAT router to one of the ports on the Ethernet
hub using a 10Base-T Ethernet cable.
• Now connect each of the PCs to the Ethernet hub. You must have an Ethernet card
installed in each PC.
You can also buy NAT router with built-in 4- or 8-port Ethernet hub. With combined router/hub,
you need only one box to set up a LAN and connect it to Internet with a DSL modem. These
boxes are typically sold under the name Cable/DSL router because they work with both DSL
and cable modem.
8
Configuring a DSL Modem
For example, an ADSL service which stands for Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Line
will offer slower upload speeds and faster downloads for applications from the Internet. DSL
means that both the download and upload speed are the same so chances are that you have
this type of Internet connectivity. Although there are different types of DSL modems here is
the typical method that is used to configure a DSL modem:
a. Unpack the CD: Your DSL modem will have a CD included with the unit so you
can perform the installation and configuration. Unpack the CD and then insert it
into the CD-ROM slot on your PC.
b. Installation and Configuration: Once you insert the CD in your CD-ROM it will
display prompts on your PC screen that will walk you through the process of
installing and configuring the DSL modem. The prompts will include a terms of
service agreement, activation of email addresses for your account, and
designation of the type of DSL software you will be using with the modem.
c. Enter Password: Once you are walked through the installation and configuration
process you will be prompted to enter your username and password. Once you
are logged in you simply wait a minute for the installation to complete and then you
can test the process by opening your browser. If the home page of your browser
appears this means the configuration is successful.
A Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is capable of handling large amounts of data and
bandwidth intensive applications such as video and different types of data
applications. Under other circumstances this would cause congestion within a network
and slow down data transmission speeds .
