To set up the device with a computer DSL/ADSL modem
1. Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.
NOTE: Phones in other parts of the home/office sharing the same phone
number with DSL service will need to be connected to additional DSL filters,
otherwise you will experience noise when making voice calls.
2. Using the phone cord supplied in the box with the devices, connect one end to the
DSL filter, 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 device, you might not be able to fax successfully. This special phone cord
is different from phone cords you might already have in your home or office.
3. If you have a parallel-type phone system, remove the white plug from the port
labeled 2-EXT on the back of the device, and then connect a phone to this port.
4. Connect the DSL filter to the parallel splitter.
5. Connect the DSL modem to the parallel splitter.
6. Connect the parallel splitter to the wall jack.
7. 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.
Case I: Shared voice/fax line with answering machine
If you receive both voice calls and fax calls at the same phone number, and you also
have an answering machine that answers voice calls at this phone number, set up the
device as described in this section.
