… Leased line connection using 2- or 4-wire
Leased line connections can be set up using either 2- or 4-wire.When renting a 4-wire
line from a telephone company one pair of cables for transmission and one pair for
reception are usually provided.
The maximum transmission distance depends on the attenuation of the line. The maxi-
mum value is theoretically 30 dBm. To have a good error rate it is recommended to keep
the attenuation under 25 dB. When renting lines from a telephone company a longer
transmission distance is normally possible as the signals are probably transmitted over
PCM-lines, i.e. fibre optic or other media with low attenuation.
To set the modem for leased line applications use the dip switches.
