Chapter 3 Basic Router Configuration Configuring Command-Line Access
If you plan to connect over an ADSL or G.SHDSL line:
Order the appropriate line from your public telephone service provider.
For ADSL lines—Ensure that the ADSL signaling type is DMT (also known as ANSI T1.413)
or DMT Issue 2.
For G.SHDSL lines—Verify that the G.SHDSL line conforms to the ITU G.991.2 standard and
supports Annex A (North Ameri ca) or Annex B (Europe).
