First, connect it all together. Then,
wait 5 minutes
for all the connections to be established. You can read the next pages while you wait.
Use a filter
ADSL filters are required for every phone
socket in use, including phone lines, faxes
or digital TV decoders. Filters remove
interference on your phone lines and
improve your broadband service (even if
you don’t have a home phone plugged
in). Use the ADSL filter supplied with this
modem when setting up as old filters
can cause speed and stability problems.
Don’t use telephone extension cables
with the modem as these cause speed
and stability problems.
If you use 4 or more phone sockets in
your home, or have a monitored security
or medical alarm, Spark recommends
you have an ADSL Splitter installed by
a technician.
