Fellow list members,
The Khar(W) CO exchange informed me that they will be bringing in my ADSL connection by end of March and left a form to be filled up and submitted at the CO. The form has an item that refers to CPE equipment - either rented from MTNL or customer owned. I asked the lines man what exactly does the CPE mean and he was not sure if it would be my D-Link DI604 router or something else. Therefore, the query to this list.
The ADSL setup that I have seen within the SBC/Ameritech (US midwest) network is as shown in the fig. below. The 2W/UTP from CO is terminated on a DSL/Tel. line splitter. The splitter has one RJ11 (for phone) and one RJ45 (for the DSL router OR the NIC in the computer) connector.
________2W UTP|DSL/Tel.| 2W -------|Splitter|------ from |________| UTP to Tel. set CO | | RJ45 to WAN port on DSL Router
Hopefully, some of you on this list have already got this service and you are able to share some info on the CPE/router configs.
Is the MTNL ADSL connection setup similar to the above fig.? If not, what does it look like?
It is same as above diagram ...... :)
Also, how is the IP connection established i.e. DHCP, Static IP, or PPPoE?
It uses DHCP .....:)
TIA.
