ADSL service must be enabled on your telephone line.
As both telephone and ADSL service are simultaneously available from the same copper
pair, you need a central splitter or distributed filters for decoupling ADSL and telephone
signals.
Contact your Service Provider for more information.
In all cases contact your ADSL Service Provider about splitter/filter 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.
