3.3Connecting Multiple PCs to an Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) using the Splitterless Application
Note: Connecting multiple PCs to the internet via a single DSL modem may require multiple IP addresses. Call your local ISP provider for details.
Figure 3-6 is an example of a residential, small office/home office, or small business customer using ADSL to achieve high- speed access to the Internet. The DATA Ethernet connection can interface a multiport Ethernet hub. The hub allows multiple PCs to share bandwidth to and from the DSL modem. See section 3-2 for the microfilter installation procedure.
Note: The maximum distance for an Ethernet connection, using category 3 or category 5 cable is 100 meters (325 feet).
