71
This transport method is used to carry Ethernet frames over an ATM network. This
protocol is used by some ISPs on their DSL service deployment. The DSL PCI modem
Windows drivers support it.
RFC2364 - PPP over ATM
This transport protocol method consists of PPP data packets carried over ATM cell. This
network protocol is used by some ISPs on their DSL service deployment. The DSL PCI
modem Windows drivers support it.
RJ-11
Six-conductor modular jack used with four-wire cabling. Most common phone jack in the
world and is used commonly on phones, modems, and fax machines.
RJ-45
Eight-pin connector used to attach data transmission devices to standard telephone
wiring. Commonly used in 10Base-T connections.
SDSL (Symmetric Digital Subscriber Line)
HDSL plus POTS over a single telephone line. This name has not been adopted by a
standards group, but is being discussed by ETSI. It is important to distinguish, however,
as SDSL operates over POTS and would be suitable for symmetric services to
premises of individual customers.
Set Top Box
A transmission/reception device that acts as an interface typically to a television or
other video output display device. In addition to DSL, SDSL, HDSL, and VDSL
interfaces, set top units are increasingly modular, and other interfaces can include
Ethernet, MMDS, coaxial cable, V.90 modem, and ISDN, among others.
Splitter
Filters which separate high frequency (DSL) and low frequency (POTS) signals at both
the end user and the central office. Splitters may be required when installing DSL.
Splitterless DSL
An DSL system without a low pass filter, a device that helps prevent cross interference
between the voice (POTS) and DSL signals. With Splitterless DSL, an end user can go
to a store, purchase a modem and install the system alone, speeding access to the
technology and saving service providers the cost and time associated with truck rolls for
equipment installation.
STS-1 SONET
Basic transmission rate of 51.84 Mbps.
