Abstract:

An xDSL modem apparatus for installation on a telephone jack wall plate. The apparatus includes a port for transmitting and receiving carrier waves, a low-pass filtering means, a high-pass filtering means, and a band-pass filtering means. The low-pass filtering means isolates low-frequency component of a received composite carrier wave below a first frequency and transmitting the isolated low-frequency component of the composite carrier wave. The high-pass filtering means isolates a high-frequency component of the composite carrier wave above a second frequency. The band-pass filtering means isolates a power component of the composite carrier wave, the power component being in a frequency range between the first and second frequencies. The apparatus also includes an xDSL modem for demodulating the high-frequency component of the composite carrier wave in order to recover a computer readable bitstream and for modulating a high-frequency carrier wave with a received computer readable bitstream. The xDSL modem transmits the demodulated computer readable bitstream and the modulated carrier wave. The apparatus also includes a means for utilizing the power component of the composite carrier wave to provide operating power for the xDSL modem.

Abstract:

An access point which is installed over the standard electronic wall box and provides access to different types of existing cables in a standard electronic wall box is disclosed. The access point includes at least one pass-through slot which houses a pass-through port. The pass-through port supports different types of connectors for different types of cables installed in the standard electronic wall box. The pass-through slot is used to expose the different types of connectors on the access point. The access point also includes a connection port to connect the access point to a wall cable which is a network uplink cable for connecting the access point to a network. The access point further includes an expansion slot to connect an expansion module to the access point. When the access point is installed on the standard electronic wall box, the pass-through slot is used to expose a cable that is different from the wall cable.
