nel) connectors used to broadcast four 192-Kbit/s audio channels over the electrical
network.
The audio PLC modems must be configured to parameterize the components of
the PLC local area network and to load the plug-ins that the audio file servers
require.
PLC can also be used to transmit the telephone analog signal within a building,
where only one or two telephone jacks for access to the public STN are usually
found. It is then convenient to use the electrical network existing in all the rooms to
have telephone jacks remote from the existing jacks.
In this case, two telephone PLC modems are used, one connected to the France
Télécom telephone incoming feeder and the other one to an outlet. The analog cellu-
lar telephone is connected to the second modem using an RJ-11 connector.
Figure 7.21 illustrates a Wingoline telephone PLC modem used to build a net-
work with 24 modems maximum over the same electrical network. The frequency
band used ranges from 3.3 to 8.2 MHz, and the propagation distance over the
cables is 150m (slightly lower than that of Ethernet PLC modems).
