  Digital subscriber line access multiplexer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The DSLAM at the central office (CO) collects the digital signals from its many modem ports and combines them into one signal, via multiplexing.
The DSLAM, functioning as a switch, collects the ADSL modem data (connected to it via twisted pair copper wire) and multiplexes this data via the gigabit link that physically plugs into the DSLAM itself, into the Telco's backbone.
DSLAM is not always located in the telco central office, but may also serve customers within a neighborhood Serving Area Interface (SAI) as part of a digital loop carrier.

In digital signal processing, a multiplexer (often abbreviated to "mux" or "muldex") is a device for taking several separate digital data streams and combining them together into one data stream of a higher data rate.
This would be typical where a multiplexer serves a number of IP network users and then feeds directly into a router which immediately reads the content of the entire link into its routing processor and then does the demultiplexing in memory from where it will be converted directly into IP packets.
For example, a two-input multiplexer is a simple connection of logic gates whose output Y is either input A or input B depending on the value of a third input S which selects the input.

 Digital subscriber line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Digital Subscriber Line technology was originally implemented as part of the ISDN specification.
The location of the DSLAM depends on the telco, but it cannot be located too far from the user because of attenuation, the loss of data due to the large amount of electrical resistance encountered as the data moves between the DSLAM and the user's DSL modem.
This converts data from the digital signals used by computers into a voltage signal of a suitable frequency range which is then applied to the phone line.

 Digital subscriber line
Digital Subscriber Line, or DSL, refers to a family of technologies that provide a digital connection over the copper wires of the telephone network.
A DSL connection is made between equipment of the subscriber and the telephone exchange, with some other protocol used between the exchange and whoever the subscriber really wants to connect to, typically an Internet service provider.
The subscriber end of the connection consists of a DSL modem, which has the job of converting the digital stream into analogue signals with various frequency bands, as required for the particular DSL variant in use.

 Digital Subscriber Line
In asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL), the voice frequency band of 300 Hz is blocked and redirected to a telephone set and all other frequencies are passed through to the modem or transceiver.
In informal common usage in digital communications, bandwidth is used to indicate the maximum transmission rate of a facility in bits per second (for example, 4800 bps), or the information carrying capacity of a medium or system.
A circuit switch that terminates all the local access lines in a particular geographic serving area; a physical building where the local switching equipment is found.

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a technology for bringing high-bandwidth information to homes and small businesses over ordinary copper telephone lines.
Digital Subscriber Line is a technology that assumes digital data does not require change into analog form and back.
Digital data is transmitted to your computer directly as digital data and this allows the phone company to use a much wider bandwidth for transmitting it to you.

 Digital Transmission — from IP Television Magazine.
A digital subscriber line access multiplexer is an electronic device that usually holds several digital subscriber line (DSL) modems that communicate between a telephone network and an end customer's DSL modem via a copper wire access line.
The setup and control of a DSLAM is typically performed by a control protocol such as simple network management protocol (SNMP) that can be sent on the same data communication network that transfers the data to and from the DSLAM and the equipment configuration information is stored in a separate management information base (MIB).
If the device with the destination Ethernet address hears the packet on its receiver lines, it will begin to retransmit the packet on it's transmitter lines (which are connected to the sending device's receiving lines) allowing the sender to know the transmission has been receive and the rest of the frame can be transmitted.

 Digital Subscriber Line
Digital Subscriber Line is a technology based on the idea that data transmitted over twisted pair (P.O.T.S.) lines does not need to be converted from digital to analog and then back to digital, which is how modems work.
Instead the data is transmitted across the lines as digital data, which allows the phone company to use much wider bandwith in transmitting the data.
Line quality is a measure of the signal-to-noise ratio on a given line.

 DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) Definition
Stands for "Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer." A DSLAM is a device used by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to route incoming DSL connections to the Internet.
For example, a DSL access multiplier may receive signals from all the DSL modems in a certain neighborhood and patch them through to the Internet backbone.
The DSLAM processes each incoming connection and may limit the bandwidth of certain DSL lines.

 Digital subscriber line access multiplexer - InformationBlast
A digital subscriber line access multiplexer, (DSLAM) is a multiplexer located in the telephone company exchange that provides consumers access to DSL services over twisted pair copper cabling.
The DSLAM usually aggregates lines at a contention ratio of 50:1 or 20:1.
Alternatively, a DSLAM multiplexes the signals output by a MDF (which separates voice and data in DSL telephony) which belong to different users into a stream which can be processed by an ATM network.
