ADSL FAQ
1.
How does ADSL compare to Cable modems?
ADSL provides a dedicated service over a single telephone line; cable
modems offer a dedicated service over a shared media. While cable modems
have greater downstream bandwidth capabilities (up to 30 Mbps), that
bandwidth is shared among all users on a line, and will therefore vary, perhaps
dramatically, as more users in a neighborhood get online at the same time.
Cable modem upstream traffic will in many cases be slower than ADSL, either
because the particular cable modem is inherently slower, or because of rate
reductions caused by contention for upstream bandwidth slots. The big
difference between ADSL and cable modems, however, is the number of lines
available to each. There are no more than 12 million homes passed today that
can support two-way cable modem transmissions, and while the figure also
grows steadily, it will not catch up with telephone lines for many years.
Additionally, many of the older cable networks are not capable of offering a
return channel; consequently, such networks will need significant upgrading
before they can offer high bandwidth services.
2.
What is the micro-filter or splitter used for?
Generally, the voice band uses the lower frequency ranging from 0 to 4KHz,
while ADSL data transmission uses the higher frequency. The micro filter acts
as a low-pass filter for your telephone set to ensure that ADSL transmissions
do not interfere with your voice transmissions. For the details about how to
connect the micro filter please refer to the user's manual.

How do I know the ADSL line is up?
You can see the DSL LED Green on the P-660R-Tx v3's front panel is on when
the ADSL physical layer is up.
4.
Does the VC-based multiplexing perform better than the LLC-based
multiplexing?
Though the LLC-based multiplexing can carry multiple protocols over a single
VC, it requires extra header information to identify the protocol being carried
on the virtual circuit (VC). The VC-based multiplexing needs a separate VC for
carrying each protocol but it does not need the extra headers. Therefore, the
VC-based multiplexing is more efficient.
