Do I need a Micro filter?

Micro ﬁlters are used to prevent common telephone equipment, such as phones, answering machines and fax machines, from interfering with your ADSL service. If your ADSL enabled phone line is being used with any other equipment other than your ADSL Modem then you will need to use one Micro ﬁlter for each phone device.

Splitters may be installed when your ADSL line is installed or when your current phone line is upgraded to ADSL. If your telephone line is already split you will not need to use a Microﬁl- ter - check with your ADSL service provider if you are unsure.

Each micro ﬁlter is connected in-line with your telephone or fax machine so that all signals pass through it. Telephones and/or facsimiles in other rooms that are using the same ex- tension will also require Microﬁlters. The following diagram gives an example of connecting your ADSL Modem/Router using a Microﬁlter.
