Installing Phone Filters

k

A phone filter is recommended to minimize
background noise during a phone conversation on
telephones not connected directly to the Hotwire
ADSL/R Bridge/Router. If additional telephones in
your home or business share the same phone line
with the router, install one phone filter on each
telephone. A fax machine or other equipment that
uses the same POTS line as the router must also use
a filter.

There are two Hotwire phone filters available:



Hotwire 6035 Universal Phone Filter is designed for use with a tabletop phone.



Hotwire 6040 Wall Jack Phone Filter is designed for use with a wall phone.

Installing the Hotwire ADSL/R Bridge/Router

Place the router on a flat surface with clearance for the rear connectors.

Procedure

1. UNPLUG TELEPHONE. If a telephone is connected at

the RJ11 wall jack where the router will be installed,
unplug the telephone cable from the wall jack.

2. RECONNECT TELEPHONE.

(Optional. Go to Step 3 if you are not
connecting a telephone to the router.)

POW

ER

Plug the existing telephone cable that was
unplugged in Step 1 into the jack labeled
PHONE. The router has a built-in filter, so
no filter is required on this phone.

3. CONNECT DSL LINE. Use the supplied

RJ11 telephone cable for the ADSL/R line
connection. Insert one end of the cable into
the jack labeled LINE. Insert the other end
of the cable into the RJ11 wall jack.
