CAUTION:
You should connect a cable to the port with the correct mark. Misplugging is
prone to impair the card and even damage the router.

Step 2: Connect the other end of T1 cable to the peer device;
Step 3: Check the status of LINK LED on the SIC-1VT1 panel: OFF means the link is
not connected. In the latter case, check the line.
SIC-1ADSL
Introduction SIC-1ADSL, the 1-port ADSL over PSTN interface card, provides an RJ-11 interface
that can work as a WAN interface. It allows a LAN subscriber to connect to the
digital subscriber’s loop access multiplexer (DSLAM) at the central office over a
regular analog subscriber line or telephone line. Thus, the subscriber can access
the ATM/IP backbone or the Internet to enjoy services such as high-speed data
communication and video on demand (VoD).
ADSL transmits data in the high frequency band above 26 kHz. Therefore, it can
provide services without interfering with the voice service being provided in the
low frequency band (0 to 4 kHz) on the same line. It provides downlink rates in the
range 32 kbps to 8 Mbps and uplink rates in the range 32 kbps to 1 Mbps.
The SIC-1ADSL delivers these features:
