How to configure Ptcl dsl Connection with any router/modem

Ptcl Broadband DSL supports both telephone lines, fiber Optics and simple copper wire. Before you start to configure a new modem you must have little basic knowledge about broadband. My other topic “what is broadband” give u little idea about broad band. Usually a simple dsl system is consist of a telephone line activated for dsl, a modem or router and a filter (optional) however some routers or modem have built-in filter. A personal computer(PC) With LAN card installed and working properly.

How to use Dsl line Filter: It’s a device/component which separates your telephone line and dsl line.Its also known as splitter. Some routers have built-in filter they have 2 RJ-11 connector (RJ-11 is the cable connector used at the end of telephone cable see in picture) one connector is use for line (directly coming from exchange office) other is used for phone where you can connect any telephone set.

Remember don’t use 2 filters at a time it may resist against Connectivity.

A simple filter looks like in picture consist of 1 line-in and 2 line-outs where line in is use for telephone line. And with line-out we can use telephone set and dsl modem see in picture.

Now we will just start to configure our connection.

Step 1

First of all Connect male connector of filter Line-in with telephone line and connect both line-outs with modem and phone.

Now with modem there will be an RJ-47 connector bigger then RJ-11 it’s same as in LAN Card Connect it with LAN card.
