Chapter 1: Getting to know your NetComm ADSL Modem Router

This chapter describes the package contents and provides a list of features of the NetComm ADSL Modem Router.

1-1 What is xDSL

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) refers to a technology used to increase the data capacity of standard twisted-pair wires that are generally used to connect most households to the phone network. In addition, this technology allows simultaneous voice and high-speed data transmission over a single pair of telephone wires.

There are seven kinds of DSL service, each with its own compromises between speed, distance, cost, and reliability. These services are either symmetrical (data flows at the same speed in both directions), or asymmetrical (the downstream capacity is higher than the upstream capacity).

What is ADSL?

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), as it’s name indicates, is an asymmetrical data trasmission technology with higher traffic rates downstream and lower traffic rates upstream. It is suitable for Internet users because information is usually downloaded more often than uploaded, such as when surfing the web or downloading files.
