3.4.1 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 or XH8556 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 XH7556
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 JP
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.
•
If the Line Filter has a RJ11
“ADSL”
socket incorporated. Only ADSL modems or routers
may be plugged into this socket.
Note:
If you have a house alarm with dialler which is hardwired into your phone line,
you will need to have a central splitter installed as the filters will not be adequate.
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.
