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.
Note:
One RJ11 telephone cord is supplied. When inserting an RJ11 plug, be
sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
3.
If your have a dedicated ADSL service telephone line with an RJ11 wall jack,
simply connect a telephone cord from the wall jack to the gray RJ11 port
labeled “DSL line” on the back of your Router.
4.
If you have an RJ45 wall jack for your ADSL service, connect an RJ45-to-
RJ11 converter to the wall jack. Then connect one end of a telephone cord to
the converter and the other end to the gray RJ11 port labeled “DSL line” on
the back of your Router.
Note:
ADSL microfilter may or may not be provided depending on your
country.
