Wiring Instructions for ADSL with Splitter

Analog Telephone Service (PSTN)
In case there are several telephone outlets (sockets) on the telephone line where the ADSL modem will be connected, a special splitter needs to be installed between the socket and the modem. In such a case there may be a need for home rewiring. The rewiring is necessary when the modem will be installed in a socket other than the first (primary) socket. Rewiring can be avoided if you have only one or two sockets on the particular telephone line, in which case CYTA will provide special distributed filters, together with the modem.

The purpose of rewiring is to create a home installation suitable to support, parallel operation of telephony and ADSL connection. The figures below show schematically how this is done. Figure 1 shows the existing wiring, where an analog modem is placed next to the PC. If the modem and PC happen to be at the primary socket, then no rewiring is necessary.


Figure 1


Figure 2 , shows the rewiring that needs to be done by the electrician, whilst Figure 3 shows the final arrangement including the splitter and the modem that will be installed by CYTA.

A qualified electrician with the proper certification by CYTA must perform the rewiring. The electrician must access the existing wiring and recognize where the primary socket is located. All new wiring must be done using at least Category 3 cable with twisted pairs. For normal operation of the telephones during the time between the rewiring and the final installation of the modem and the splitter ( Figure 3 ), the electrician must temporarily connect the new primary socket with the remaining network as shown in Figure 2 . For this purpose a T-piece connector is used on the secondary socket. Continuity is achieved via an external connection of the primary and secondary socket through the T-piece. CYTA personnel will remove this temporary external connection when the splitter is installed.
