Microfilters

Unless you are instructed to use a
“line splitter” (see below), it will be
necessary to install a microfilter (low
pass filter) device for each telephone
or	telephone		device (answering
machines, Faxes etc.) that share the
line with the ADSL service.
Microfilters are easy-to-install, in-line
devices, which attach to the
telephone		cable		between	the
telephone and wall jack. Microfilters
that install behind the wall plate are
also	available.		A	typical	in-line
microfilter installation is shown in the
diagram to the right.						In-Line Microfilter

Note: Do not install the microfilter between the Modem and the telephone jack. Microfilters are only intended for use with regular telephones, Fax machines and other regular telephone devices.

Line Splitter

If you are instructed to use a “line splitter”, you must install the device between the Modem and the phone jack. Use standard telephone cable with standard RJ-11 connectors. The splitter has three RJ- 11 ports used to connect to the wall jack, the Modem and if desired, a telephone or telephone device. The connection ports are typically labeled as follows:

Line - This port connects to the wall jack.

ADSL – This port connects to the Modem.

Phone – This port connects to a telephone or other telephone device.

This diagram illustrates how a line splitter should be installed.
