Microfilters
DSL signals must be blocked from reaching each telephone, answering machine, fax machine, computer modem, or
any similar conventional device. Failure to do so may degrade telephone voice quality and DSL performance. Install
a microfilter if you desire to use the DSL-equipped line jack for telephone, answering machine, fax machine, or
other telephone device connections. Microfilter installation requires no tools or telephone rewiring. Just unplug the
telephone device from the baseboard or wall mount and snap in a microfilter; next, snap in the telephone device.
You can purchase microfilters from your local electronics retailer, or contact the original provider of your DSL
equipment.

HARDWARE INSTALLATIONS
The following instructions explain how to install your modem using 10/100 Base-T Ethernet or USB connections.
Before you begin, please read the following notes:
NOTE:
1. If your Ethernet card does not auto-negotiate, set it to half duplex. Refer to the Ethernet card manufacturer’s
instructions for installing and configuring your Ethernet card.
2. If you are using your modem in conjunction with an Ethernet Hub or Switch, refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions for proper installation and configuration.
3. When using a microfilter, confirm that the DSL RJ-11 phone cable is connected to the DSL port of the DSL/HPN
non-filtered jack.
4. It is recommended that you use a surge suppressor to protect equipment attached to the power supply.
Use only
the power supply provided with your kit.
5. Depending on the installation method you are using, additional Ethernet cables may be required. Ethernet cables
and DSL filters can be purchased at your local computer hardware retailer.

into the telephone jack at the wall.
2.
Plug the small end of the power supply cord into the connector marked
12VDC
on the rear panel of the modem.
Plug the other end of the power supply into an AC wall socket.
3.
