System for allowing a single device to share multiple transmission lines
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for connecting devices via multiple transmission lines, the system comprising:
- a front end of a home networking device, wherein the front end includes a filter without a blocking capacitance;
a first transmission line connected to the front end via a first blocking capacitance, wherein the first blocking capacitance is external to the front end;
a first user device connected to the first transmission line;
a second transmission line connected to the front end via a second blocking capacitance, wherein the second blocking capacitance is external to the front end; and
a second user device connected to the second transmission line.

Abstract
A front end, such as can be used in a Home Phoneline Networking Alliance network, may connected to a plurality of transmission lines. Each of the plurality of transmission lines may connected to one or more devices, such as a plain old telephone service device or an asynchronous digital subscriber line device. Devices connected to different transmission lines may then communicate with each other over the Home Phoneline Networking Alliance network.
