Do I need a Micro filter?

Micro filters are used to prevent common telephone equipment, such as phones, answering machines and fax machines, from interfering with your ADSL service. If your ADSL enabled phone line is being used with any other equipment other than your ADSL Modem then you will need to use one Micro filter for each phone device.
Splitters may be installed when your ADSL line is installed or when your current phone line is upgraded to ADSL. If your telephone line is already split you will not need to use a Microfilter
Overview
- check with your ADSL service provider if you are unsure. Each micro filter is connected in-line with your telephone or fax machine so that all signals pass
through it. T elephones and/or facsimiles in other rooms that are using the same extension will also require Microfilters. The following diagram gives an example of connecting your ADSL Modem/Router using a Microfilter.
A suitable Microfilter can be purchased from NetComm or your Service Provider, if required.

Step 3: Configuring your Computer to use the NB1300Plus4 Wireless
To use the NB1300Plus4 Wireless ADSL Modem to access the Internet, your computer must have an IP Address that is in the same LAN subnet as the NB1300Plus4 Wireless ADSL Router and use the NB1300Plus4 Wireless ADSL Router’s IP address as its gateway. The easiest way to do this is to ensure that your computer is set to use DHCP, and all of the required configuration will be performed by the NB1300Plus4 Wireless.
Most applications call for the Primary and Secondary DNS server entries to be made on each computer. These can be automatically assigned by another DHCP server or by enabling the DHCP server on the NB1300Plus4 Wireless ADSL Modem, and entering the DNS values in the DNS section of the NB1300Plus4 Wireless.
The following example shows how a computer could be set up when the NB1300Plus4 Wireless ADSL Modem is configured with no DHCP service for this example. The NB1300Plus4 Wireless ADSL Modem would be set to a LAN IP Address (Gateway) of 192.168.1.1 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0
