Connection
Make sure that all the devices that you are working

NOTE: To avoid interference, you may need
to place a microfilter or splitter between the
phone cable and wall jack. Contact your ISP to
determine if one is required. (UK residents need
to connect the microfilter to the wall phone jack
with ADSL service and then connect one end of
the provided phone cable to the RJ-11 port on it.)
If you use ISDN, then you do not need a
microfilter.
