Connecting your ADSL Line
Connection for the 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 Router.
Note: Do not connect the ADSL microfilter between the wall jack
and the Router—this will prevent ADSL service from reaching
the modem.
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 gray RJ11
port labeled “DSL line” on the back of your Router. Connect
telephony device to the other port on the ADSL splitter commonly
labeled “Phone”. An additional ADSL microfilter is needed for
another telephone and device on the same line.
