Abstract:
1. A device for coupling signals between first and second point-to-point wiring segments and a telephone wire pair in a building, each wiring segment comprising at least one twisted wire pair, the telephone wire pair being connected to carry a first bi-directional digital data signal in a digital data frequency band higher than an analog telephone band, said device comprising: a telephone connector for connecting to the telephone wire pair; a high pass filter coupled to said telephone connector and operative for substantially passing only signals in the digital data frequency band; a telephone modem coupled to said filter for packet-based bi-directional digital data communication over the telephone wire pair; a first data connector for connecting to said first wiring segment; a first data transceiver coupled to said first data connector for point-to-point packet-based full-duplex communication over said first wiring segment; a second data connector for connecting to said second wiring segment; a second data transceiver coupled to said second data connector for point-to-point packet-based full-duplex communication over said second wiring segment; a power supply including an AC/DC converter coupled to DC power said telephone modem and said first and second data transceivers; and a single enclosure housing said high pass filter, said connectors, said power supply and said telephone modem; wherein:
