[AusNOG] DSLAM for apartment complex

[Bruce Forster]

Hi Richard,

 

Have you heard of doing something like this before? Not sure if its going to
help you buts its pretty cool idea 10mb...

Cat 3 - used for voice cabling and 10Mb Ethernet
http://www.petri.co.il/csc_the_basics_of_ethernet_cabling.htm

 

iv also used hardened zyxel dslams which aren't to badly priced.

I think by far the cheapest option would be cat3 with a switch, but if
you're willing to drop a few k then zyxel dslams are pretty good, but as you
say you'll also need radius and a lns to terminate the ppp onto.

 

 

Regards,

 

bruce

Subject: [AusNOG] DSLAM for apartment complex

 

Hi NOG, 

I live in an apartment complex and was thinking of setting up some internet
connection sharing / file sharing with other apartments in the complex. 
I took a look at the MDF, and it looks like there is 2x10 pair to each block
of aparts (4-6), with a 10 pair for phone, and a 10 for
intercom/alarm/remote gate. 
I was thinking of taking 2 pair and running pure ethernet, but that would
require running some extra cabling to each apart, which would be a hassle. 
Instead I was thinking of setting up a DSLAM in the MDF and running A or
VDSL. This could run on pair 2 of each apartment's RJ11 phone socket. 
I could then attach a router to the DSLAM uplink and run bonded dsl for the
internet connection. 
I was thinking no PPP/Radius initially, perhaps running in bridged mode. 

Does anyone have any experience with this? Can anyone recommend  a some
small scale (read cheap) DSLAMs for 24 or less DSL lines? 
Preferably I would like routing smarts integrated, but it is not essential. 


cheers,
