NOTE: You will need to purchase a parallel splitter (also called a coupler). A parallel splitter has one RJ-11 port on the front and two RJ-11 ports on the back. Do not use a 2–line phone splitter, a serial splitter, or a parallel splitter which has two RJ-11 ports on the front and a plug on the back.

To set up the device with a computer DSL/ADSL modem

1.Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.

2.Using the phone cord provided in the box with the device, connect one end to the DSL filter, and then connect the other end to the port labeled 1-LINE on the back of the device.

NOTE: If you do not use the supplied cord to connect from the DSL filter to the back of the device, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord is different from the phone cords you might already have in your home or office.

3.Connect the DSL filter to the parallel splitter.

4.Connect the DSL modem to the parallel splitter.

5.Connect the parallel splitter to the wall jack.

6.Run a fax test.

When the phone rings, the device automatically answers after the number of rings you set in the Rings to Answer setting. The device begins emitting fax reception tones to the sending fax machine and receives the fax.
