Setting Up the Hardware

ADSL Through a Modular RJ-11 Wall Jack

.

To install the Model DM602 modem directly to the wall jack without installing a telephone:

1.

Connect the provided telephone cable to the wall jack.

2.

Connect the other end of the telephone cable to the ADSL port on the modem.

To install both the Model DM602 modem and a telephone:

1.

Plug the “LINE” connection from the included microfilter into the wall jack.

2.

Connect the “DSL” jack of the microfilter to the ADSL port of your modem using the

telephone cable provided.

3.

Connect the “PHONE” side of the microfilter to your telephone, using your existing telephone

cable.

ADSL Through Other Wall Jacks

1.

Plug the “LINE” connection from the included microfilter into the wall jack.

2.

Connect the “DSL” jack of the microfilter to the ADSL port of your modem using the

telephone cable provided.

3.

Connect the “PHONE” side of the microfilter to your telephone, using your existing telephone

cable.

If you have additional telephones, you will need to purchase additional microfilters and connect

them between the telephones and the wall jack. A microfilter is required for each telephone on the

line.

Note:

The wall jack attached to the ADSL port of the modem must provide the ADSL

signal on the inner pair of wires (pins 2 and 3 of the 4-pin jack). If this is not the case, a

swapper (not included) is necessary to move the connection to the inner pair.

Note:

Microfilters are required to isolate your ADSL signal from your telephone signal.

If microfilters are not used, or if they are connected backward, you may notice a

“ticking” noise on your telephone, and the performance of your ADSL line may be

affected.
