4. Question and Answer (Q &A)
Q1 : Why do I need a filter on the telephone line attached to the ADSL service?
A1 : Converting your regular phone into a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) can cause audible noises
(high pitched tones and static) when you try to talk on the
phone without a filter. You will need to install a filter on
each telephone or device that shares the DSL line to
eliminate this noise; phones or devices that share the
same telephone number as your ADSL service. Other
devices where a filter should be placed include answering
machines and fax machines. The filters will enable both
Internet access and normal phone use at the same time.
Q2 : How do I connect the filter?
A2 : Place the filter in jacks that share the same telephone number with the activated ADSL line.
Q3 : When is a two-way adapter required?
A3 : If your 201ER shares a jack with another telephone, you will need to install a two-way adapter. A
two-way adapter is not a filter; it merely allows two lines to connect into one jack. Plug the two-way
adapter into the wall jack, plug an in-line filter into one of the two jacks on the
two-way adaptor, and
then connect your telephone to the filter. The remaining jack on the two-
way adaptor is used to
connect the 201ER to your ADSL service (a filter should not be used when connecting to your modem).
