Step 1:
Install the Line Filter
Stand-alone Line Filter
For each device that shares the ADSL phone number:
1. Unplug the device’s cord from the phone jack.
2. Plug the filter into the phone jack.
3. Plug the phone cord (or other device cord)
into the filter.
Devices such as fax machines or phones that share the same phone number as your ADSL
account require a line filter, which prevents modem noise from disrupting the ADSL signal on
the phone line. Filters can be in the form of a stand-alone Line Filter or a Y-Line Filter. The Y-
Line Filter can be used if your ADSL modem will share the same phone jack with another
device.
Y-Line Filters
If your ADSL modem and another device will
share the same phone jack, install a Y-Line
Filter:
1. Unplug the device’s cord from the phone
jack.
2. Plug the Y-Line Filter into the phone jack.
3. Plug the phone cord (or other device cord)
into the ”PHONE” jack of your Y-Line Filter.
4. Plug the ADSL cord into the ”ADSL” jack of
your Y-Line Filter.

Step 3:
Configure the PC (TCP/IP settings)
Introduction
In step 3, you will learn how to configure your computer to communicate with ADSL Bridge
Modem.
To do this, you will need to configure your PC’s network settings to obtain an IP address auto-
matically. Computers use IP addresses to communicate with each other across a network or the
Internet.
Find out which operating system your computer is running, such as Windows 95, Windows 98,
Windows Me, Windows NT4, Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
You will need to know which operating system your computer is running. You can find out by
clicking on Start -> Settings. (If your Start menu doesn’t have a Settings option, you are run-
ning Windows XP. You can select the Control Panel directly from the Start menu.) Then, click on
Control Panel and double-click on the System icon.
Click the Cancel button when done.
Once you know which operating system you are running, follow the directions in this step for
your computer’s operating system. The next few pages tell you, step by step, how to configure
your TCP/IP settings based on the type of Windows operating system you are using.
