3 Installing the Splitterless DSL Modem
3.1 Overview
The procedures in this chapter apply to those customers who
install their own microfilter-to-phone connections. If a DSL
technician is performing the wiring, proceed to Section 5,
Powering the M odem.
Note: Do not install a microfilter on the DSL modem line.
The splitterless i nstallation requires the placement of a
microfilter on every telephone set, answering machine, or
telephone device (i.e., a nalog mod em) in your home. However,
several p hones and, or telephone devices may share the sam e
microfilter. Microfilters and modular adapters are included
with your modem package.
CAUTION:
Using more than five microfilters is not recommended and can impact
the quality of your telephone service.
Note: The following installation procedure and figures represent a
possible home scheme. Not all homes will follow this convention. It is
recommended that any DSL inside wiring be performed by a DSL
technician.
