Connecting your Modem/Router
Connecting your ADSL Line
Connection for the Modem/Router to the ADSL line varies by country
and region. Typically it involves a microfilter or a microfilter 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 appropriate method.
1. If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same
telephone line, ADSL microfilters 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 Modem/Router.
Note: Do not connect the ADSL microfilter between the wall jack
and the Modem/Router—this will prevent ADSL service from
reaching the Modem/Router.
2. If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same
telephone line and you are using an ADSL microfilter with built-in
splitter, connect the splitter to the telephone wall jack providing
ADSL service. Then, connect the telephone cord from the ADSL
microfilter RJ11 port generally labeled “DSL” to the grey RJ11
port labelled “DSL line” on the back of your Modem/Router.
Connect telephony device to the other port on the ADSL splitter
commonly labelled “Phone”. An additional ADSL microfilter is
needed for another telephone and device on the same line.
