DSL Fundamental :DSL Fundamental Modulation and Annex Type
PVC architecture
Modulation and Annex Type :Modulation and Annex Type Modulation is altering of carrier wave in order to transmit a data signal from one location to another via discrete channel.
Modulation type has to be set at both DSLAM port and modem. So does Annex type
During negotiation Annex setting has to be matched before both can synchronized and trained up.
Time taken before synchronization will depend on modulation setting at DSLAM and modem.
Matching modulation will take less time. DSLAM will search for modem with matching modulation. .Failing to do that, it will step down to the next lower hierarchy until the modulation match DSLAM modem
Modulation & Annex Type :Modulation & Annex Type DSLAM modem Case 1 = DSLAM set ADSL2+ , modem set as ADSL2+
modem search for ADSL2+ card ---------- success ----------------- modem trained with up/sync ADSL2+
Case 2 = DSLAM set as g.dmt, modem set as ADSL2+
modem search for ADSL2+ card ----- failed --------
Search for ADSL2 card ------ failed --------
Search for g.dmt card ------- success ---- modem trained up/sync with g.dmt highest lowest Modulation hierarchy NOTE:
Higher hierarchy usually backward compatible
‘multimode’ which will select between g.dmt or g.lite

Slide 29:HOME NETWORKING
What is Router :What is Router A router is a device that forwards data packets along networks. A router is connected to at least two networks, commonly two LANs or a LAN and its ISP’s network. /WAN WAN
What is switch :What is switch Switches operate at Layer 2 of the OSI Model, the Data-Link Layer. This is in contrast to routers, which operate at Layer 3 of the OSI Model, the Network Layer.
A switch stores the MAC Address of every device which is connected to it.
The switch will then evaluate every frame that passes through it. The switch will examine the destination MAC Address in each frame.
Private and Public IP address :Private and Public IP address IP Address is a name for a computer, Â every computer that wants to send or receive data on the internet needs to have an IP address. Because an IP address acts as an identification number, no two computers on the internet can have the same IP address. Â The IP address is a number that is used to identify a device, a set of 4 three digit numbers divided by periods. The numbers of an IP address range from 0 to 255
Public IP is visible in internet
Private IP address is visible only within a company or organization (LAN) 192.168.0.2 Local Area Network (LAN)
Private IP 192.168.0.6 192.168.0.7 Dynamic IP Router Other user in
Internet
217.202.89.4 60.53.225.170 Internet
WAN 219.93.218.47
Public IP address
DHCP :DHCP DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Is a software protocol that automatically assigns temporary IP addresses to client stations logging onto an IP network. It eliminates having to manually assign permanent "static" IP addresses. The IP address will be released when clients stations leaved/logout from the network c
NAT :NAT – Network Address Translator
Is a technology, which is implemented in a router, firewall or PC,
converts private IP addresses (such as in the 192.168.0.0 range) of the machine on the internal private network to one or more public IP addresses for the Internet.
It changes the packet headers to new address and keeps track of them via internal tables that it builds. When packets come back from the Internet, NAT uses the tables to perform the reverse conversion to the IP address of the client machine. NAT is also provided with Windows Internet Connection Sharing NAT Modem as router 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.6 192.168.1.8 192.168.1.1/24

PORT MAPPING :PORT MAPPING Usually, multiple network-based applications run simultaneously on a single computer - applications for file sharing, web serving, printing, etc. A port number represents an endpoint or "channel" for network communications. Â Port numbers allow different applications on the same computer to utilize network resources without interfering with each other.
When one computer sends data to another computer, it sends it from a port on an IP address to a port on an IP address. Â Port numbers can theoretically range from 0 to 65535. For example, Â ports make it possible for you to check your email and browse the web at the same time. This is possible because browsing the web uses port 80, and getting your email uses port 110.
Port mapping is needed when one TCP/IP connection is shared by multiple computers through a router. From outside, all those computers are basically one computer (the router). To reach a specific computer, one therefore needs to map or bridge specific ports on the router to specific ports on specific computers. Thus, any incoming request from outside the network can be passed on from the router to the computer in the network. Commonly used port number
PORT MAPPING :PORT MAPPING Illustration on port mapping
Port Forwarding :Port Forwarding Port Forwarding simply tells the router which computer on the local area network to send the data to. When you have port forwarding rules set up, your router takes the data off of the external IP address and port number and sends that data to an internal IP address and port number.  Allowing your router to direct ports to a private IP address. The data on these ports is always incoming data, and always originates on an external public IP address 1. Incoming packet addressed to 24.210.27.230:6995 4.Incoming packet addressed to 24.210.27.230:1110 5.Router does not know what to do with the packet. It’ll discard
PORT FORWARDING :PORT FORWARDING
Port Triggering :Port Triggering Allowing your router to dynamically open up ports, when it sees data on other ports. Port triggering allows you to do port forwarding, but only have the ports open when you are running the application. So you open up a program. That program then sends data out on outgoing ports called trigger ports. Your router sees data leaving your network on these ports. The router then allows incoming data on the ports specified in your port triggering configuration. When the router no longer sees data going out on the trigger ports, it turns off access to the incoming ports Universal Plug and Play
With UPnP, a device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other devices—all automatically; truly enabling zero configuration networks. Devices can subsequently communicate with each other directly; thereby further enabling peer to peer networking. UPnP
