Abstract

The method for the automatic configuration of a DSL modem, comprises connecting a DSL modem to an analog telephone line, automatically determining available communication resources on the analog telephone line, and thereafter automatically configuring the DSL modem based on the available communication resources. Automatic configuration of the DSL modem is essentially undertaken by (i) automatically ascertaining if a circuit capable of communicating DSL signals is available by automatically detecting if a DSL communication circuit exists on the analog telephone line, and thereafter (ii) automatically configuring the DSL modem for a virtual communication route that is confirmed to be working by automatically identifying a virtual communication route for communications between the DSL modem and a communications network. A DSL modem which performs this methods is also provided.
