Installing Frontier DSL Service
STEP 1: Install Microfilters
With Frontier DSL services, you can talk on your telephone and surf the Internet
at the same time. The ability to do this requires the use of microfilters enclosed with the
self-install kit. Microfilters filter out static, caused by data transmission, so that your phone
will be free of unwanted noise during a conversation.
To use Frontier DSL, you will need to install microfilters on every telephone jack that sources a
telephone set, answering machine or fax machine and shares the phone line with your Frontier
DSL connection.
The Frontier DSL package contains three in-line microfilters and one wall jack with a built-in
microfilter. The wall jack is for use with a wall-mounted telephone.
•INSTALL A MICROFILTER ON EACH LINE THAT HAS A TELEPHONE SET, ANSWERING
MACHINE OR FAX MACHINE THAT WILL SHARE THE TELEPHONE LINE WITH YOUR
FRONTIER DSL CONNECTION. YOU MAY INSTALL AN IN-LINE FILTER ON THE PHONE JACK THAT
YOU’LL BE USING FOR YOUR FRONTIER DSL CONNECTION IF IT IS PLUGGED INTO THE DSL PORTION OF
THE FILTER.

machine to the in-line filter jack, then connect the cable from the filter to the telephone wall jack.

2. Plug the cord from the back of the filter into the wall jack.
3. Align the keyhole slots on the filter with the wall plate pegs and press down to secure.
4. Connect the phone cord to the phone jack located on the front of the wall-mounted
filter. NOTE: If you would like to connect your Frontier DSL modem to this phone line, you can
connect it to the phone jack located at the bottom of the filter.
5. Attach the telephone to the mounting pegs on the wall-mounted filter and your
installation is complete.

at 1-877-659-LINK or in Rochester, NY call 777-LINK (5465).
If your DSL connection and Fax machine or telephone will be plugged into the same outlet,
you will need to use a splitter.

If your computer does not detect the modem when you connect it to your computer it is
likely that your USB port is not enabled. IMPORTANT: If you do not know how to enable
the USB port, you will not be able to complete the self-install. Enabling a port can render
a system non-functional depending on the configuration of the hardware in your system.
For this reason, you will need to have the installation completed by a Frontier technician.
Please contact Technical Support at 1-800-239-4430.
7. For Macintosh and Ethernet – Plug the provided Ethernet cable (Page 2 - Figure 1, Item 3)
into the 10Base-T (rectangular) jack on the modem and the other end into the Ethernet
jack on the back of your computer.
