Enhanced and Business DSL
• The major difference from basic DSL is
that the advanced services offer more IP
addresses
• Multiple computers can therefore be
connected to a single DSL line

Enhanced and Business DSL
Configuration
• A hub is needed to connect the various
computers to the DSL modem
• A crossover cable is required to connect the
hub to the DSL modem
• Software configuration is almost similar to
the single DSL connection
• The difference is that each computer will
have its own IP address and host name
• Gateway address, DNS addresses etc. will
remain the same

Summary of Steps for Enhanced
DSL Connection
• Connect all the computers to a hub using
regular RJ 45 cable
• Connect the DSL modem to the hub using a
crossover RJ 45 cable
• Install the network adapter in each computer
and configure the TCP/IP addresses
• Each computer will have its own TCP/IP
address and host name
