Connecting your ADSL Line
Connection for the Router to the ADSL line varies by country and region.
Typically it involves a microlter or a microlter with built-in splitter to
allow simultaneous use of ADSL service and telephone service on the same
telephone line. Please read the following steps carefully and select the
appropriate method.
1. If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same telephone
line, ADSL microlters are needed for each telephone and device, such as
answering machine, fax machine, and caller ID display. Additional splitters
may be used to separate telephone lines for telephone and the Router.
Note: Do not connect the ADSL microlter between the wall jack and the
Router—this will prevent ADSL service from reaching the modem.
2. If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same telephone
line and you are using an ADSL microlter with built-in splitter, connect the
splitter to the telephone wall jack providing ADSL service. Then, connect the
telephone cord from the ADSL microlter RJ11 port generally labeled “DSL”
to the gray RJ11 port labeled “DSL line” on the back of your Router. Connect
the telephony device to the other port on the ADSL splitter commonly
labeled “Phone”. An additional ADSL microlter is needed for another
telephone and device on the same line.
Note: An RJ11 telephone cord is supplied. When inserting an RJ11 plug, be
sure the tab on the plug clicks into position correctly.
3. If you have a dedicated ADSL service telephone line with an RJ11 wall jack,
simply connect a telephone cord from the wall jack to the gray RJ11 port
labeled “DSL line” on the back of your Router.
