Connector Types
|
RJ-11 Broadband/Telephone Plug The US style RJ-11 plug is a 4 pin version of the RJ-45
pictured below. It is the smallest in size and is used in the UK for DSL/Broadband Internet connections (RJ-11 to RJ-11). |
|
British (Telecom) Plug The familiar British telephone plug used in over 30 countries
around the world. Any analogue device that operates over a telephone line will be connected using this plug. You'll often
find an RJ-11 plug on one end, and a BT plug on the other (RJ-11 to BT). |
|
USB Type A (Computer) Universal Serial Bus (USB) is the most popular way of connecting
peripherals to your computer. To connect most devices, you'll require a type A to B cable (often supplied with the product). |
|
USB Type B (Peripherals) The other end of the USB wire features a square shape plug designed
to connect to peripherals such as your USB DSL modem or router. |
|
RJ-45 Ethernet Network (Crimped Plug) The RJ-45 connector, featuring 8 pins, is the big
brother of the RJ-11. It's used for data communications, specifically Local Area Networks (LANs). Cables can be either straight
(for normal use between a hub and a computer) or crossed (for use between two hubs or switches). Each computer requires a
Network Interface Card (NIC) to connect to the network. |
|
RJ-45 Ethernet Network (Moulded Plug) The moulded RJ-45 plug shown to the left performs
exactly the same purpose as the crimped version above. Professionally constructed cables are usually moulded by a machine
instead of crimped using a special device called a "crimping tool". |
Wiring Diagrams
Basic diagrammatic scenarios are based upon:
- Internet connection via a USB Modem
- Internet connection via an Ethernet router/modem
- Connecting additional telephone sockets
Beware! a certain amount of software configuration must also be carried out before computers and network peripherals are
able to operate or communicate with each other. This includes software driver installation for USB modems, and the correct
assignment of IP addresses and related parameters for Ethernet networks. |
|
USB Modem
The easiest, and most popular way to get a single computer online with is via a USB modem. The process involves connecting
the USB modem to the DSL side of your micro-filter, and your computer to the USB modem using a standard type A to B USB cable.
Software installation procedure will vary depending upon the equipment purchased.
Many users choose to share their USB Broadband connection using software such as Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing
(ICS). In this scenario, the computer will act as a gateway for other computers to access the Internet via a Local Area Network
(LAN).
The same concept can be extended to wireless network cards instead of the more restrictive fixed approach above. This configuration
is often referred to as "ad-hoc networking mode" with the sharing computer operating in "infrastructure mode". Most
users will find that sharing their USB connection over a wired network is adequate.
Ethernet Router & Local Area Network
The following diagrams show sample configurations for Internet access via an Ethernet router/modem. Many routers feature
a 2, 4 or 8 port inbuilt Ethernet hub or switch (a device used to connect computers together). In this scenario, computers
can be connected directly to the router. Each computer is wired using a standard Ethernet cable with one end connected to
a spare port on the inbuilt hub/switch and the other end connected to the computers network card.
If your Ethernet router only has 1 network port, or you want to connect more devices to the network than there are available
ports, a Ethernet switch can be used in combination with a cross-over cable to extend the size of your network.
Micro-Filters and Additional Telephone Sockets
Micro-filters must be used to separate the two different frequency bands used over your telephone line (voice and data)
and prevent your analogue devices from interfering with the Broadband frequency ranges used by your modem/router.
Simple method: Walk around your house and count how phones are plugged into a phone socket (on the same line) and
order the same number of micro-filters. Simply unplug each phone, plug them into the splitter and reconnect to the phone line.
Cheaper method: Buy a single micro-filter and plug this into your master socket and run all the phone
extensions off the phone side of the micro-filter. Finally, run an extension from the ADSL side of the splitter to where you
want to use your ADSL modem.
