Dedicated line - a data transmission channel established for a long time, which has huge advantages over other methods of connecting to the Internet. Connecting a computer to a dedicated line guarantees high Internet speed, excellent connection quality and a free telephone line.
Instructions
Step 1
To connect your computer to a dedicated line, you need to find out what broadband data technologies are available in your home and your apartment. Currently, two technologies of Internet access are widely used - ADSL and FTTx. The first implies broadband access to the global network using a telephone line, the second - access to the Internet via fiber optic cable. Decide which technology suits you best and contact the provider for details on the provision of these services. As a rule, to connect an apartment to the Network, you need to write an application at the provider's office.
Step 2
If you decide to connect to a dedicated line using FFTx technology, then a fiber-optic cable must be connected to your apartment. Within two weeks after the application for connection, your apartment should be visited by the provider's installer team, who pulls the cable from the distribution box (located either in the staircase or in the attic of the house) directly to the apartment. To connect to a dedicated line, you just need to plug the extended cable into the network card of your computer. ADSL connection takes a little less time. Experts check the technical connectivity and give you the answer. If there is such a possibility, it is necessary to install and configure an ADSL modem and a splitter that splits the line to the telephone and the Internet.
Step 3
If you plan to use a dedicated line on several computers, you will need a modem with a router function (for ADSL) or a router. the router can be wired or wireless. You can configure the use of a dedicated line using a router in such a way that up to two dozen computers can be connected to the network.
