Before you begin: Install Line Filters
Step
Step
Two-to-One Adapter
Devices such as fax machines, caller ID boxes, or phones that share the same phone number as
your DSL account require a line filter, which prevents modem noise from disrupting the DSL signal
on the phone line. Filters can be in the form of a stand-alone line filter or a wall mount filter. A
filter can also be plugged into a two-to-one adapter if your DSL modem will share the same phone
jack with another device.
If your DSL modem and another device will share the same phone jack, install a two-to-one
adapter:
a. Plug adapter into the phone jack.
b. Plug a line filter into one of the
 sockets of the two-to-one adapter.
 The other socket will be used to
 connect the DSL cable.
c. Plug the telephone (or other device)
 cord into the line filter.
For each device that shares the DSL phone number:
a. Unplug the device’s cord from the phone jack.
b. Plug the filter into the phone jack.
c.  Plug the phone cord (or other device
 cord) into the filter.
