Overview
Description
The ADSL Ethernet modem provides home connectivity to an ADSL service provider network over an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)/ADSL physical layer. It receives adaptive rates of up to 8Mbps downstream and transmits 640Kbps upstream.
System Features
This section introduces the system features of the ADSL Ethernet modem.
Standards Compliance:
- ITU-T G.992.1, G.992.2, and ANSI T1.413 Issue 2
- Handshake Protocol: defined in ITU-T G.994.1
- IEEE 802.3 10BaseT physical layer specification
Hardware Features
- Discrete Multi-Tone based ADSL physical layer.
- Rate adaptive with maximum downstream data rates up to 8Mbps and upstream data rate up to 640Kbps.
- 10BaseT Ethernet interface, compliant with IEEE 802.3.
- Status LEDs indicating Ethernet and ADSL activity.
- Restart and operate automatically after the input power is restored from a power failure.
- Management console support.
