6.1 About ADSL Splitter & Filters
First, you need to prepare your phone line and your phone devices at
your premises. ADSL and telephone services share the same copper
wire to carry their respective signals, a filtering mechanism
must
be
used to avoid mutual interference.
CAUTION:
Failure to connect ALL telephone type equipment via a
filter will result in loss of the data link whenever a call is made or
answered. In many cases the link will also be lost when a call is
received, even if it is not answered.
There are currently 2 filter solutions:
•
Professionally Installed ADSL Splitter
– this option requires a
technician to visit your premises to install a hard wired splitter. This
option is ideal for permanently wired telephone devices like alarm
panel diallers, Etc. For more details please contact your
Telecommunications company.
•
Self-install ADSL Filters –
filters are easy self-install in-line
devices, which attach to the telephone cable between the
telephone devices and the wall jack. These filters are available
from your nearest Dick Smith Electronics store – Cat no XH7556.
Note:
In the event that the ADSL service is connected to your line
before you have connected your filters, you may experience
occasional noise bursts when using your telephone. These noise
bursts are normal, but they will disrupt data transmission for fax and
dial-up modems. To overcome this problem, install your filters
immediately, even if you are not ready to install your modem.
