3.1

Connecting the Technicolor Gateway to your Service

Provider’s Network

Introduction

This section helps you to connect the Technicolor Gateway to your service provider’s network.

Signal arriving at your home

The

Line

signal that arrives at your home consists the following components:



A

Phone

signal carrying the traffic for telephony.



A

DSL

signal carrying the Internet traffic.

DSL Gateways have a built-in solution to remove the

Phone

component. No additional devices are needed, you can

connect them directly to the

Line

.

Telephones do not have this capability, so here you have to use a filter or splitter to remove the

DSL

signal.

How does a filter/splitter look like

A splitter/filter is a box that typically has the following connectors:



A

Line

input

This connector must be connected to the input signal that needs to be filtered.



A

Phone/PSTN

output

This connector offers filtered output signal. It only contains the

Voice

component and can only be used for connecting

phones.



A

Modem/DSL

output (optional)

This connector offers unfiltered output. It contains both the

Phone

and

DSL

signal and can be used to connect your

Technicolor Gateway.

Connecting the cables

Proceed as follows:

1
