3.1.1
Setting up your MediaAccess Gateway as DSL
Gateway
Introduction
This section helps you to connect the MediaAccess 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.
What 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
MediaAccess Gateway.
Connecting the cables
The procedure to be followed depends on the fact if this filter has been integrated into your MediaAccess Gateway or not.
Check the label of your MediaAccess Gateway. If the product name contains:
“wIF” (for example MediaAccess TG799vn v2
wIF
) then your MediaAccess Gateway has an integrated filter. No external
filters are needed. Follow the steps described in
“Scenario 2: A MediaAccess Gateway without integrated filter” on page 24
.
No “wiF”
(for example MediaAccess TG799vn v2) then your MediaAccess Gateway does
not
have an integrated filter.
Follow the steps described in
“Scenario 2: A MediaAccess Gateway without integrated filter” on page 24
.
This
Phone
signal is only used for communication over the traditional telephone network (PSTN). Voice over IP
communication will be carried by the
DSL
signal.

If your MediaAccess Gateway has a black
PSTN
port on the back, you are able to use the PSTN (this is the traditional
telephone network) as a backup for your Voice over IP connection. When the VoIP connection is down, the MediaAccess
Gateway will automatically switch back to the PSTN network.
To setup this backup connection:
1
Take a Telephone Cable
2
Plug one end of the cable in the black
PSTN
port on the back of your MediaAccess Gateway.
3
Plug the other end of the cable into the
Phone
output port of your filter/splitter.
