If you want to plug a phone in through the modem, you
can do so by plugging it into the modem’s jack labeled
PHONE. If you do this, you should use a filter for that
phone as discussed below.
We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you install a filter
for EVERY phone and fax that is sharing the ADSL
phone line. (Do not plug a filter between the wall jack
and the modem.) Phone filters block the ADSL
frequencies so that someone making a phone call will not
hear modem noise on the line. Filters also keep phone
conversations from interfering with ADSL performance.
You may have received ADSL phone filters with your
modem. If you did not, or if you need more filters, they
are available at most retail stores that carry consumer
electronics.
To attach a filter, plug the phone or fax machine’s cord
into the filter’s PHONE end and plug the filter’s LINE
end into the wall jack.
Congratulations! You have installed the modem software and
hardware. Now continue with the next section, Configuring Your
