Do I need a Micro filter?

An ADSL Microfilter filters out ADSL signals to allow ADSL and regular Voice Calls to share a single telephone line.

Any equipment sharing your ADSL telephone line, other than an ADSL must be connected to a telephone jackpoint via a microfilter. Examples of such non-ADSL equipment that MUST connect through a microfilter are :

•Telephone Handset

•Fax Machine

•Foxtel digital set

•Back to base alarm

•Dial-up modem (non adsl)

•Caller display unit

•Other devices that have an integral router

Failure to connect ALL non-ADSL equipment via a microfilter may result in loss of the data link whenever a call is made or answered. In many cases the link will also be lost when a call is received even if it is not answered.
