1.1Preliminary Steps

DSL service (only if you are using your Thomson Gateway as Internet Gateway)

The DSL service must be up and running on your telephone line.

If both conventional telephone and DSL service are simultaneously available from the same copper pair, you will need a central splitter or distributed filters for decoupling DSL and telephone signals.

Public telephone lines carry voltages that can cause electric shock. Only try to set up splitter/ filters that have been designed to be installed by unqualified personnel. For further assistance, contact your Internet Service Provider.
