3 Configure your Phone Equipment
ADSL works by combining both voice and data signals on the same phone line. At your
premises, these signals need to be separated through the use of an approved Filter or
Splitter. Whilst both achieve the same results, each has their pros and cons.
Filter Splitter
Ideal for Smaller installations with a
limited amount of phone
outlets (phones, answering
machines, cordless phones,
56K modems, Fax, etc.)
Larger installations or situations
where filters cannot be used
(alarm diallers and other
permanently wired telephone
devices).

3.1 Option 1: Install ADSL Filter(s) yourself
•
All telephone equipment must be filtered in an ADSL installation. This includes corded &
cordless phones, answering machines, faxes, caller display units, analogue modem
(including such devices as a Sky digital decoder with integrated modem), dedicated
dialers, Etc. Filtering telephone equipment is as simple as plugging the XH7556 DSE
ADSL filter in-line with the device/s.
•
Your ADSL modem or router will be the only device that can connect directly to your jack
point. However should an adaptor be required between the plug on the modem cord and
the jack point, or you wish to connect telephone equipment to the same jack point, the
DSE ADSL filter can be used by plugging the router or modem into the “ADSL” socket.
•
Do not plug an ADSL modem or router into the “PHONE” socket if the modem cord has
this type of plug.
•
It is important that the filter is connected the right way around.
The lead coming out of the side marked “LINE” is plugged into the telephone point
Non-ADSL telephone equipment then plugs into the “PHONE” socket on the filter
The ADSL Modem or Router plugs into the “ADSL” socket on the filter.
•
Up to 5 filters can be used on a single telephone line. If you need to install more than 5
filters, a central splitter must be installed by Telecom.
•
If you need to connect more than one item of telephone equipment at the same jack point,
then a double adaptor can be plugged into the “PHONE” socket of this filter.
• This Line Filter has a RJ11
“ADSL”
socket incorporated. Only ADSL modems or routers
may be plugged into this socket.
