Please read Chapter 4 prior to connecting your Speed Touch
Home to the ADSL line.
As soon as your ADSL provider enables ADSL service on your
telephone line, two "channels" coexist on the single twisted pair:
the standard voice channel reserved for your regular
"
telephone service;
the ADSL channel that will transport data to and from your
"
PC(s).
Firstly a central splitter or distributed filters must be installed in
order to prevent the ADSL channel from disturbing the phone
channel and vice versa.
In all cases contact your ADSL Service Provider about
splitter/filters installation !
Public telephone lines carry voltages that can cause electric
shock. Only install splitter/filters yourself if these are qualified for
that purpose. Other splitter/filters may only be installed by
qualified service personnel.
To connect, proceed as follows:
Plug the ADSL cable into the 'Line' port
"
Plug the other end into the wall socket terminating ADSL
"
service.
