1.1. DSL (xDSL)

Digital Subscriber Line, or DSL, refers to a family of technologies that provide a digital connection over copper wires of
the local telephone network.
SVR-1630 can be connected on Internet through DSL as follows.
The simplest configuration is SVR-1630 is to connect to DSL Modem directly.
If DSL router and s switch are added onto the above network, several clients (PC and SVR-1630) can be
installed onto the network by sharing an IP address.
There are also some routers that are integrated with a switch, so that the router itself may run as a switch.
*Please note that crossover cables might not be necessary for connection between DSL modems and the respective
connected device(s). Regular straight through cables may be used.
Each network environment requires setting SVR-1630 and DSL router differently. However, the basics on setup are
similar to each other. The major difference is whether DSL router supports PPPoE or SVR-1630 is configured for
supporting the PPPoE function.
Examples of DSL technologies (sometimes called xDSL) include IDSL, ADSL, HDSL, RADSL, SDSL, VDSL, and
G.SHDSL.
