G. Lite mode requires no splitter. You can directly connect the router to the PSTN using a telephone cable, and simply connect the phone-set in parallel with the router at the cable distribution box.

Full rate mode requires a splitter. Follow these steps to connect the cables:

Step 1: Plug one end of a telephone cable into the ADSL port on the router, and the other end into the internal ADSL port on the splitter.

Step 2: Connect the telephone to the phone port on the splitter with another telephone cable.

Step 3: Connect the external ADSL port on the splitter to the PSTN with a third telephone cable.

4.15.1 Introduction

Router 1-Port ADSL FIC/Router 2-Port ADSL FIC, the 1-/2-port ADSL over ISDN interface card, uses the RJ-11 connector for the WAN interface. It allows a LAN subscriber to connect to the DSLAM at the central office over a regular analog subscriber line or telephone line. Thus, the subscriber can access the ATM/IP backbone or the Internet to enjoy services such as high-speed data communication and video on demand (VoD).

The card transmits data in the high frequency band above 138 kHz. Therefore, it can provide services on the same line without interfering with the ISDN service being
