Before you start

DSL Service
The DSL service must be activated on your telephone line by your service provider.
Decoupling the voice and DSL signal
As soon as the DSL service is activated two kinds of signals will be available on your telephone line:
Voice signals
DSL signals
To ensure the sound quality of your phone calls, the DSL signal must be omitted from the telephone line
before it reaches your phone, otherwise you might hear a noise in the background when using your phone.
Filters and splitters
To split the DSL signal from the telephone line, you can use one of the following solutions:
A splitter that splits the telephone signal into a DSL and Voice signal.
A filter between your telephone outlet and your phone. This filter removes the DSL signal and passes the
Voice signal.

Wired connection
If you want to connect one or more computer using a wired connection, make sure those computers are
equipped with an Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC).
