Q: Why do I need these filters?
A: DSL service shares the line with your regular telephone service. In-line
filters prevent these services from interfering with each other, improving both
the telephone audio and DSL data rate.
lDisconnect the existing cord from the wall jack.
lPlug the LINE end of the filter into the wall jack.
lPlug the device into the PHONE jack on the filter.
lUse only one filter for all devices sharing the jack.

If you would like to share your phone jack with the modem and your phone,
then use a standard 2-line adapter.
lInstall the 2-line adapter into the wall jack.
lPlug the RJ-11 cable into one adapter jack.
lPlug the LINE end of a “Z-Blocker” filter into the other adapter jack.
lPlug your telephone devices into the PHONE jack on the “Z-Blocker” filter.

lRemove the phone. On some phones you must pull out a locking lever
before removing the phone. Then push up on the phone and pull it out from
the wall.
lSlide the filter locking tabs (located at the top and bottom on the front of the
filter) to the UNLOCKED position.
lPlace the filter over the existing wall outlet, aligning the plug and mounting
slots with the socket and mounting tabs on the existing outlet, then push into
place.
lMove the locking tabs to the LOCKED position as indicated in the drawing.
lMount the phone. If your phone has a locking lever, be sure it is unlocked
before you mount it. Position the phone’s plug and mounting slots over the
filter jack and metal mounting pegs. Press the phone in and pull down until
secure.
lIf desired, install your ADSL or Home Phoneline Network (HPN) device
cord into the jack on the left side of the adapter. An answering machine may
also be attached to the jack on the right side of the filter.

Filter Installation TipsFilter Installation Tips
l DO NOT install a filter on your DSL modem or on any
broadband devices.
l Check the orientation of each filter
1. PHONE jack towards the telephone device.
2. LINE connection towards the wall jack.
l Try to limit the number of filters in your home to the fewest practical.
Do this by 1. Using one filter to isolate several devices.
2. Not installing filters on unused phone jacks.
l Do not use more than one filter for each telephone device or
group of devices.
l Plug the filter directly into the wall jack using only the attached short
cord. If this cannot be done, then use a twisted-pair cable like the data
cable for the modem (i.e., NOT a flat phone cord) to connect the filter to
the wall jack.

TroubleshootingTroubleshooting
When dealing with networking equipment, the most common source of
problems are the network cables themselves. This can be easily checked.
Verify that the "Link" LEDs under both the ADSL and Ethernet headings on
the front of your DSL-500/CZ are glowing a steady green. If they are not
lit, try using a different cable. You may also need to use a different kind of
cable.
Included with this modem is an Ethernet cross over cable and a straight
through phone line.
If you are connecting the DSL-500/CZ to an Ethernet switch or hub you
will need to purchase an Ethernet straight through cable to make the con-
nection. For the phoneline, we have included a small crossover box that
will convert your cable. This way if your DSL signal is coming from a dif-
ferent set of phone wires in your wall this module will check the second set
of wires.
If you still can't get a steady ADSL link light call your Internet Service
Provider or Phone Company for instructions as you may have an in the wall
wiring problem.
Most other problems result from improper TCP/IP settings. Run through
the previous instructions again to verify that your product was set up cor-
rectly.
*If you do not connect within five minutes, you may need to connect manu-
ally. Go back to Step 6 in this guide to “login to the web-based manage-
ment module.” Under PPPoA configuration (on the screen as shown in Step
7), click on “Connect” at the bottom of the window.
