Installing the DSL Filters
Why do I need a DSL filter?
DSL filters block the DSL signal from reaching your telephone, fax, or answering machine. Except for your DSL
modem, every telephone, or device sharing the phone line that has DSL requires a filter. If it has been
determined that filters are needed, they will be included in the box. If none are included, please go directly to
page 3, installing the DSL Modem.
What will happen if filters aren't properly installed?
If DSL filters are missing or not working properly you will experience reduced DSL speeds as well as static or
hissing on your phone line. You may also experience problems with DSL connectivity.
Before you install filters:
Do not install a DSL filter on the line to your DSL modem. Do not install filters on empty phone jacks. If your install
requires more than five filters contact 3 Rivers, as this will reduce the quality of your DSL service.
Some common devices that need DSL filters:
•
Regular and Cordless phones, Satellite TV receivers, Caller ID units, Answering machines, Fax machines
•
Security systems that use the phone line (check with your security company to determine if this is
necessary)
