1.2 Alcatel Speed Touch 510 Wiring
Two ADSL variants of Alcatel's Speed Touch510 routers exist:
The Alcatel Speed Touch510 :
The ADSL/POTS variant connecting to an analog POTS(*) line
The Alcatel Speed Touch510i :
The ADSL/ISDN variant connecting to a digital ISDN(**) line.
(*) Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS)
(**) Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN)
Use only the AST510 variant which is appropriate for the DSL
service delivered to your local premises.
Check at your Service Provider whether your AST510 suits the ADSL
service requirements.
The appropriate DSL service must be available at your local premisses:
ADSL service must be enabled on your telephone line
As both telephone and ADSL service are simultaneously available
from the same copper pair, you need a central splitter or
distributed filters for decoupling ADSL and telephone signals.
Always contact your Service Provider for splitter/filter installation !
Public telephone lines carry voltages that can cause electric shock.
Only install splitter/filters yourself if these are qualified for that purpose.
Other splitter/filters may only be installed by qualified service personnel.
For Ethernet connectivity you need at least:
A PC with a readily installed Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC)
If needed, a hub or switch and the necessary connection cables.
In the AST510 package, a full wired straightthrough RJ45/RJ45
Ethernet cable, further referred to as LAN cable is included.
You can use LAN cables other than the one provided in the box.
Determine the LAN cable type from the following table:
