Reference Manual for the Model DG632 ADSL Modem Router
Note: Do not connect the DG632 to the ADSL line through a microfilter unless the microfilter is a
combination microfilter/splitter specifically designed for this purpose. Doing so will prevent the
built-in ADSL modem in the DG632 from establishing a connection to the Internet. If you have
any doubts about this, connect the DG632 directly to the ADSL line.

provide connectivity for both the DG632 and telephone equipment.
