5.3 Microfilters
ADSL signals must be blocked from reaching each telephone, answering machine, fax machine, computer modem
or any similar conventional device. Failure to do so may degrade telephone voice quality and ADSL performance.
Install a microfilter if you desire to use the DSL-equipped line jack for telephone, answering machine, fax machine
or other telephone device connections. Microfilter installation requires no tools or telephone rewiring. Just unplug
the telephone device from the baseboard or wall mount, and plug in a microfilter. Next, plug in the telephone device.
Contact Westell to obtain a microfilter kit, which contains multiple microfilters for your installation.
