3 Connect the supplied phone cord between your modem’s DSL
jack and a phone jack with ADSL service.
Note: If you are using your ADSL modem on the same phone
line where you’re also using other equipment such as
telephones or fax machines, you should put an ADSL filter
between each phone and the wall jack where the phone was
connected. This filter prevents interference between the
modem and the phone or other equipment. Your modem may
have come with a filter, and filters are also available from
retailers of phones, modems, and other electronics. The filter
simply plugs into the wall telephone jack, and the female
PHONE end of the filter connects to your telephone, fax
machine, or other equipment.
One form of filter is a splitter, which has one male plug and
two female jacks. This lets you use the same phone jack for
both an ADSL modem and a phone or other device. You plug
the splitter into the phone jack, plug the modem into the jack
that's typically marked ADSL, and plug the phone or other
device into the jack marked PHONE. You may use the splitter
as a filter; simply leave the ADSL jack open.
