DSLAM
The DSL Access Multiplexor is name for the bank of ADSL modems in the central office where your DSL line terminates. Before reaching the DSLAM, your line is passed through an exchange-side splitter/filter where the line is split in two: the original line goes to the telephone switch, while a new line goes to the DSLAM.

If the DSLAM is located in a cabinet in your neighbourhood (not in the central office), it is referred to as the RDSLAM
