Abstract
This invention relates to LANs at a customers' premise, especially to the HomePNA technique. The idea of the invention is that voice band terminals and HomePNA (HPNA) stations are hidden from a distribution network by a band division filter in a way that performance of ADSL is not degraded by presence of an HPNA LAN. The band division filter incorporates two subfilters: a POTS filter and an HPNA filter. The latter implements a band stop function maximizing insertion loss at the ADSL band The band division filter can be installed to needed telephone sockets.
Claims32
An arrangement of a local area network in a customer's premise comprising a gateway through which the local area network is connected to an outside network via an xDSL subscriber line, in which local area network band division filters are connected to sockets of the local area network for separating voice band signals and traffic of the local area network both the voice band signals and the traffic distributed by the local area network, and for connecting voice band terminals and network stations to the local area network.
A filter for a local area network in a customer's premise wherein the filter is connected to a socket of the local area network for separating voice band signals and traffic of the local area network both the voice band signals and the traffic distributed by the local area network, and for connecting voice band terminals and network stations to the local area network.
