To benefit from the high-speed transmission rate of ADSL over your
existing telephone wire, your phone line and your computer must be
separated. Each DSL line must be wired through a special filter
called a splitter. While both the DSL Modem and the telephone share
a telephone line to the customer premises, the signals are separated
at the splitter, providing an isolated path to the individual wiring,
jacks, and other telecommunications hardware. This splitter is
installed by the telephone service provider.
With the use of a DSL Modem, splitter, and your existing telephone
line, you can use the telephone and download data onto your
computer at the same time. The DSL Modem splitter is completely
passive, providing “lifeline” or continuous, telephone service even if
the power fails. The DSL Modem encodes the data sent from your PC
to a corresponding DSL Modem, located at your local telephone
company.
