1.1 Before you start
DSL Service
The DSL service must be activated on your telephone line by your service provider.
Decoupling the voice and DSL signal
As soon as the DSL service is activated two kinds of signals will be available on your telephone line:
Voice signals
DSL signals
To ensure the sound quality of your phone calls, the DSL signal must be omitted from the telephone line
before it reaches your phone, otherwise you might hear a noise in the background when using your phone.
Filters and splitters
To split the DSL signal from the telephone line, you can use one of the following solutions:
A splitter that splits the telephone signal into a DSL and Voice signal.
A filter between your telephone outlet and your phone. This filter removes the DSL signal and passes the
Voice signal.
Wireless connection
If you want to connect your computer using a wireless connection, you will need a WiFi-certified wireless
client adapter for each computer you want to connect wirelessly.
