Step 3: Install a Telephone Filter on Every Telephone Line

IMPORTANT: Install filters on every phone jack on your DSL line that will be used for an analog device to prevent interference from the digital signal provided by DSL service. A filter is required between all phones, answering machines, fax machines, Caller ID units or analog routers and the phone jack for the DSL line. Connect the phone line connected to your router to the side of the filter labeled “ADSL HPN”
