Ethernet can be transmitted over a phone line using a technology called DSL (Digital Subscriber Line). DSL allows for high-speed internet access by using different frequencies to separate the voice and data signals on the same phone line. This enables Ethernet data to be sent and received over the phone line without interfering with phone calls.
No, but it could make a really awesome fire if you somehow plug Ethernet or router into the telephone line and someone rings your phone at over 100 volts!
because it is converting the image on the fax down to data that can be transmitted over a phone line.
Power over ethernet (PoE)
Yes, Ethernet can be transported over SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) using a method called "Ethernet over SONET" (EoS). This technique encapsulates Ethernet frames within SONET frames, allowing Ethernet data to be transmitted over SONET links while taking advantage of SONET's high-speed, reliable transmission capabilities. EoS facilitates the integration of Ethernet services into existing SONET networks, enabling service providers to offer Ethernet services over long distances.
No. An ethernet transceiver is for connecting only to ethernet cable - 8 wires. Phone wire has 4 or 6 - not enough (plus plug is too small.) You need a modem to connect to a service provider over phone lines.
Yes. A Cat-5 line can be used to supply power to certain Ethernet Switches that support POE, or Power Over Ethernet.
A DSL modem is connected to an Ethernet port (looks like a over-sized phone jack)
Yes. The modem acts as in translator, it converts information as it travels over the phone line into something your computer(s) can understand and then vice versa. The phone line uses a RJ-11 plug while an Ethernet network uses RJ-45 plugs.
The one that looks like an over-sized phone plug is called "RJ-45"
Modem comes from Modulator-Demodulator, a device that converts the computers signals to something that could be transmitted over a phone line and back again to something a computer at the other end can understand. the name means MODulator DEModulator It converts digital data from the computer to analogue data that can travel through the ethernet cables. Then as the data comes back in it translates the data from analogue into digital so the computer can understand it
BASE in the context of Ethernet refers to "Baseband," which indicates that the Ethernet signals are transmitted over a single channel and use the entire bandwidth of the medium for data transmission. This contrasts with broadband transmission, where multiple signals can coexist over different frequencies. BASE typically signifies the use of twisted pair or fiber optic cables in Ethernet standards, such as 10BASE-T or 100BASE-FX, where the number indicates the maximum speed and the 'T' or 'F' denotes the type of medium used.
An IP telephone looks just like a regular telephone, but instead of having a regular phone connector it has a place for an ethernet connection. An IP telephone connects directly to a router and already has all the software and components to handle a phone call, just like a regular phone. Phone calls placed with an IP telephone are routed over the internet instead of through a phone line.
