Note:

In the circumstance where the first connection example is not applicable and

you choose to use the second example, you must install a MicroFilter on the

telephone cable (as illustrated in Figure 3.3-2, do not use a splitter to replace

the MicroFilter).

Installing a telephone directly before the splitter will lead to a failure of

connection between the ZXDSL 831/831B/831II/831BII and the device at

central office side, or a failure of access into the Internet, or a slow connection

speed. If you really need to add a telephone set before the splitter, you have to

add a MicroFilter before the telephone set. Do not connect several telephones

before the splitter. Moreover, do not connect several telephones with

MicroFilters.

The filter is not a standard-configuration device and you should separately

purchase it from the operator.

Connection procedures

1

Power off the equipment before all the other devices are connected.

2 Connect the network cables: Insert the RJ-45 Ethernet cable connector

into the Ethernet interface of the ZXDSL 831/831B/831II/831BII, and

connect its other terminal to the Ethernet adapter of the customer computers

or ports of other network devices.

3 Connect the splitter

The splitter has three interfaces, which are described as follows:

l

LINE: Connect the user telephone cable (RJ11 interface).

l

MODEM (or ADSL): Connect the DSL interface of the ZXDSL

831/831B/831II/831BII.

l

PHONE (or TEL): Connect the phone sets.

The installation process is as follows: Connect the DSL interface of the

ZXDSL 831/831B/831II/831BII to the MODEM interface of the splitter
