AT-AR256E v3 - 4 Ports ADSL2/2+ Router - Quick Setup Guide
Hardware Setup
When installing the router, the common practice is to have the router, the main computer and phone jack
in the same room. The room should also have enough electrical outlets to match your needs.
Connecting the POTS Splitter
A phone line can carry phone call and Internet signals. When you enable the phone line for high speed
Internet, the connection produces high-pitched tones when using the phone. Installing a Plain Old Telephone
Service (POTS) splitter separates the two signals and eliminates the noise.
Note:
Consult your service provider on what type of POTS Splitter should be used.
