The splitter has three interfaces: LINE: Connect to a wall phone jack (RJ-11 jack). MODEM: Connect to the ADSL jack of the device. PHONE: Connect to a telephone set. Connect the LAN interface of the device to the network interface card (NIC) of the computer through an Ethernet cable (MDI/MDIX). Note:
Use twisted-pair cables to connect with the hub or switch.
Step 2
Step 3
Plug one end of the power adapter to the wall outlet and connect the other end to the Power interface of the device.
Figure 1 Connection diagram (Without connecting telephone set before the splitter)
www.encore-usa.com
11
Note:
When above connection is used, the filter must be installed close to the telephone cable. See Figure2. Do not use the splitter to replace the filter.
Installing a telephone directly before the splitter may lead to failure of connection between the device and the central office, or failure of Internet access, or slow connection speed. If you really need to add a telephone set before the splitter, you must add a micro-filter before a telephone set. Do not connect several telephones before the splitter or connect several telephones with the micro-filter.

Chapter 3
This chapter describes how to configure the computer to communicate with the router. Computers access the Internet by using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Each computer in your network must have installed TCP/IP driver, and it has been selected as its network protocol. If a NIC has already been installed in your computer, then TCP/IP is already installed as well. The following description assumes that the router is set to the factory default configuration. The default LAN IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1. (If the router is not set to the factory default, keep the device powered on, and insert a needle into the reset hole for 3 seconds, then release it.)

Appendix C
Glossary
The Glossary provides an explanation of terms and acronyms discussed in this user guide. 10BASE-T: IEEE 802.3 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over twisted pair wiring. 100BASE-Tx: IEEE 802.3 specification for 100 Mbps Ethernet over twisted pair wiring. 802.11b: IEEE specification for wireless networking at 11 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz. 802.11g: IEEE specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz. 802.1x: The 802.1x defines port-based, network access control used to provide authenticated network access and automated data encryption key management. The IEEE 802.1x draft standard offers an effective framework for authenticating and controlling user traffic to a protected network, as well as dynamically varying encryption keys. AP: Access Point. It is a station that transmits and receives data in a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network). An access point acts as a bridge for wireless devices into a LAN. ATM: Asynchronous Transfer Mode. It is a method of data transferring in which data is organized into 53-byte cell units. ATM cells are processed asynchronously in relation to other cells. BC: Broadcast Communication. A sender transmits to everyone in the network. BER: Bit Error Rate. It is the percentage of bits that contains errors relative to the total number of bits transmitted. Bridge: It is a device that connects two networks and decides which network the data should go to. Bridge Mode: The bridge mode is used when there is one PC connected to the LAN-side Ethernet port of the ADSL device. The IEEE 802.1D method of transport bridging is used to bridge between the WAN (ADSL) side and the LAN (Ethernet) side, i.e., to store and forward. CBR: Constant Bit Rate. A constant transfer rates that is ideal for streaming (executing while still downloading) data, such as audio or video files.

Cell: A unit of transmission in ATM, consisting of a fixed-size frame containing a 5-octet header and a 48-octet payload. CHAP: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol. It is typically more secure than PAP and CHAP. It uses username and password in combination with a randomly generated challenge string, which has to be authenticated using a one-way hashing function. CLP: Cell Loss Priority. ATM cells have two levels of priority, CLP0 and CLP1. CLP0 is of higher priority, and in times of high traffic congestion, CLP1 error cells may be discarded to preserve the Cell Loss Ratio of the CLP0 cells. CO: Central Office. In a local loop, a Central Office is where home and office phone lines come together and go through switching equipment to connect them to other Central Offices. The distance from the Central Office determines whether or not an ADSL signal can be supported in a given line. CPE: Customer Premises Equipment. This specifies equipment on the customer end, or LAN side. CRC: Cyclic Redundancy Checking. It is a method for checking errors in a data transmission between two computers or devices. CRC applies a polynomial function (16 or 32-bit) to a block of data. The result of that polynomial is appended to the data transmission. Upon receipt, the destination computer applies the same polynomial to the block of data. If the host and destination computer share the same result, the transmission was successful. Otherwise, the sender is notified to re-send the data block. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a communications protocol that allows network administrators to manage and assign IP addresses to computers within the network. DHCP provides a unique address to a computer in the network, which enables it to connect to the Internet through Internet Protocol (IP). DHCP can lease an IP address or provide a permanent static address to those computers who need it (servers, etc.). DMZ: Demilitarized Zone. It is a computer host or network that acts as a neutral zone between a private network and a public network. A DMZ prevents users outside of the private network from getting direct access to a server or any computer within the private network. The outside user sends requests to the DMZ, and the DMZ initiates sessions in the public network based on these requests. A DMZ cannot initiate a session in the private network; it can only forward packets to the private network as they are requested. DNS: Domain Name System: A method to locate and translate Domain Names into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, where a Domain Name is a simple and meaningful name for an Internet address.

DSCP: Differentiated Services Code Point. It is a 6-bit field defined in the header of IPv4 and IPv6 IP packets for packet classification purposes. DSL: Digital Subscriber Line: A technology that provides broadband connections over standard phone lines. DSLAM: Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer: Using multiplexing techniques, a DSLAM receives signals from customer DSL lines and places the signals on a high-speed backbone line. DSLAMs are typically located at a telephone companys CO (Central Office). Encapsulation: The inclusion of one data structure within another. For example, packets can be encapsulated in an ATM frame during transfer. FEC: Forward Error Correction: An error correction technique in which a data packet is processed through an algorithm that adds extra error correcting bits to the packet. If the transmitted message is received in error, these bits are used to correct the error bits without retransmission. Firewall: A firewall is a method of implementing common as well as user defined security policies in an effort to keep intruders out. Firewalls work by analyzing and filtering out IP packets that violate a set of rules defined by the firewall administrator. The firewall is located at the point of entry for the network. All data inbound and outbound must pass through the firewall for inspection. Fragmentation: To break a packet up into smaller packets that is caused either by the transmission medium being unable to support the original size of the packet or the receiving computer not being able to receive a packet of that size. Fragmentation occurs when the senders MTU is larger than the receivers MRU. FTP: File Transfer Protocol. It is a standardized Internet protocol, which is the simplest way to transfer files from one computer to another over the Internet. FTP uses the Internets TCP/IP protocols to function. Full Duplex: Data can be transmitted and received on the same signal medium and at the same time. Full Duplex lines are bidirectional. G.dmt: Formally G.992.1, the G.dmt is a form of ADSL that uses Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT) technology. G.dmt incorporates a splitter in its design.
www.encore-usa.com
115
G.lite: Formally G.992.2, G.lite is a standard way to install ADSL service. G.lite enables connections speeds up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 128 kbps upstream. G.lite does not need a splitter at the user end because splitting is preformed at the remote end (the telephone company). Gateway: A point on the network, which is an entrance to another network. For example, a router is a gateway that connects a LAN to a WAN. Half Duplex: Data can be transmitted and received on the same signal medium, but not simultaneously. Half Duplex lines are bi-directional. HEC: Headed Error Control: ATM error checking by using a CRC algorithm on the fifth octet in the ATM cell header to generate a check character. Using HEC, either a single bit error in the header can be corrected or multiple bit errors in the header can be detected. HNP: Home Network Processor. Host: In context of Internet Protocol, a host computer is one that has full two-way access to other computers on the Internet. IAD: Integrated Access Device: A device that multiplexes and de-multiplexes communications in the CPE onto and out of a single telephone line for transmission to the CO. IP: Internet Protocol: The method by which information is sent from one computer to another through the Internet. Each of these host computers has a unique IP address which distinguishes it from all the other computers on the Internet. Each packet of data sent includes the senders IP address and the receivers IP address. LAN: Local Area Network: A group of computers, typically covering a small geographic area, that share devices such as printers, hard disk drives, scanners, and optical drives. Computers in a LAN typically share an Internet connection through some sort of router that connects the computers to a WAN. LLC: Logical Link Control: Provides an interface point to the MAC sub-layer. LLC Encapsulation is needed when several protocols are carried over the same Virtual Circuit. MAC Address: Media Access Control Address: A unique hardware number on a network interface adapter of computer or device that identifies it and relates it to the IP address of that device. MC: Multicast: Communication involving a single sender and multiple specific receivers in a network.

MRU: Maximum Receive Unit: MRU is the largest size packet that can be received by the modem. During the PPP negotiation, the peer of the PPP connection will indicate its MRU and will accept any value up to that size. The actual MTU of the PPP connection will be set to the smaller of the two (MTU and the peers MRU). In the normal negotiation, the peer will accept this MRU and will not send packet with information field larger than this value. MSS: Maximum Segment Size: The largest size of data that TCP will send in a single un-fragmented IP packet. When a connection is established between a LAN client and a host in the WAN side, the LAN client and the WAN host will indicate their Maximum Segment Size during the TCP connection handshake. MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit: The largest size packet that can be sent by the modem. If the network stack of any packet is larger than the MTU value, then the packet will be fragmented before the transmission. During the PPP negotiation, the peer of the PPP connection will indicate its MRU and will accept any value up to that size. The actual MTU of the PPP connection will be set to the smaller of the two (MTU and the peers MRU). NAPT: Network Address and Port Translation: An extension of NAT, NAPT maps many private internal addresses into one IP address. The outside network (WAN) can see this one IP address but it cannot see the IP addresses of individual devices translated by the NAPT. NAT: Network Address Translation: The translation of an IP address of one network to a different IP address known by another network. This gives an outside network (WAN) the ability to distinguish a device on the inside network (LAN), as the inside network has a private set of IP addresses assigned by the DHCP server not known to the outside network. PAP: Password Authentication Protocol: An authentication protocol in which authorization is done through a set of user name and password. PDU: Protocol Data Unit: A frame of data transmitted through the data link layer 2. Ping: Packet Internet Groper: A utility used to determine whether a particular device is online or connected to a network by sending test packets and waiting for a response. PPP: Point-to-Point Protocol: A method of transporting and encapsulating IP packets between the user PC and the ISP. PPP is full duplex protocol that is transmitted through a serial interface. Proxy: A device that closes a straight connection from an outside network (WAN) to an inside network (LAN). All transmissions must go through the proxy to get into or out of the LAN. This makes the internal addresses of the devices in the LAN private.

PVC: Permanent Virtual Circuit: The software defined logical connection in a network. A Virtual Circuit that is permanently available to the user. RIP: Routing Information Protocol: A management protocol that ensures that all hosts in a particular network share the same information about routing paths. In a RIP, a host computer will send its entire routing table to another host computer every X seconds, where X is the supply interval. The receiving host computer will in turn repeat the same process by sending the same information to another host computer. The process is repeated until all host computers in a given network share the same routing knowledge. RIPv1: RIP Version 1: One of the first dynamic routing protocols introduced used in the Internet, RIPv1 was developed to distribute network reach ability information for what is now considered simple topologies. RIPv2: RIP Version 2: Shares the same basic concepts and algorithms as RIPv1 with added features such as subnet masks, authentication, external route tags, next hop addresses, and multicasting in addition to broadcasting. Router Mode: Router Mode is used when there is more than one PC connected to the LAN-side Ethernet port of the ADSL device. This enables the ADSL WAN access to be shared with multiple nodes on the LAN. Network Address Translation (NAT) is supported, so that one WAN-side IP address can be shared among multiple LAN-side devices. DHCP is used to serve each LAN-side device an IP address. SNAP: Sub-Network Attachment Point. SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol: Used to govern network management and monitor devices on the network. SNMP is formally described in RFC 1157. SNR: Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Measured in decibels, SNR is a calculated ratio of signal strength to background noise. The higher this ratio is, the better the signal quality is. Subnet Mask: Short for Sub-Network Mask, subnet mask is a technique used by the IP protocol to filter messages into a particular network segment, called a subnet. The subnet mask consists of a binary pattern that is stored in the client computer, server, or router. This pattern is compared with the incoming IP address to determine whether to accept or reject the packet. TCP: Transfer Control Protocol: Works together with Internet Protocol for sending data between computers over the Internet. TCP keeps track of the packets, making sure that they are routed efficiently.

TFTP: Trivial File Transfer Protocol: A simple version of FTP protocol that has no password authentication or directory structure capability. ToS: type of service. It is a byte defined in the IPv4 header which is used for various purposes over the years and mostly for the IP precedence. Trellis Code: An advanced method of FEC (Forward Error Correction). When enabled, it makes for better error checking at the cost of slower packet transmission. Setting Trellis Code to be disabled will cause increased packet transmission with decreased error correction. TTL: Time To Live: A value in an IP packet that indicates whether or not the packet has been propagating through the network too long and should be discarded. UBR: Unspecified Bit Rate: A transfer mode that is usually used in file transferring, email, etc. UBR can vary depending on the data type. USB: Universal Serial Bus: A standard interface between a computer and a peripheral (printer, external drives, digital cameras, scanners, network interface devices, modems, etc.) that allows data transferring. UDP: User Datagram Protocol: A protocol that is used instead of TCP when reliable delivery is not required. Unlike TCP, UDP does not require an acknowledgement (handshake) from the receiving end. UDP sends packets in one-way transmissions. VBR-nrt: Variable Bit Rate non real time: With VBR-nrt, cell transfer is variable upon certain criteria. VC: Virtual Circuit: A virtual circuit is a circuit in a network that appears to be a physically discrete path, but is actually a managed collection of circuit resources that allocates specific circuits as needed to satisfy traffic requirements. VCI: Virtual Channel Identifier: A virtual channel identified by a unique numerical tag that is defined by a 16-bit field in the ATM cell header. The purpose of the virtual channel is to identify where the cell should travel. VC-Mux: Virtual Circuit based Multiplexing: In VC Based Multiplexing, the interconnect protocol of the carried network is identified implicitly by the VC (Virtual Circuit) connecting the two ATM stations (each protocol must be carried over a separate VC). VPI: Virtual Path Identifier: Virtual path for cell routing indicated by an eight bit field in the ATM cell header.

WAN: Wide Area Network: A WAN covers a large geographical area. A WAN is consisted of LANs, and the Internet is consisted of WANs. WFQ: weighted fair queuing. It is a data packet scheduling technique which allows different data flows to be queued in different priorities. WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a specification of standards-based, interoperable security enhancements that increase the level of data protection and access control for existing and future wireless LAN systems.
