Do I need a Micro filter?
Micro filters are used to prevent common telephone equipment, such as phones,
answering machines and fax machines, from interfering with your ADSL service. If your
ADSL enabled phone line is being used with any other equipment other than your ADSL
Modem then you will need to use one Micro filter for each phone device.
Splitters may be installed when your ADSL line is installed or when your current phone
line is upgraded to ADSL. If your telephone line is already split you will not need to use
a Microfilter - check with your ADSL service provider if you are unsure.
Each micro filter is connected in-line with your telephone or fax machine so that all
signals pass through it. Telephones and/or facsimiles in other rooms that are using the
same extension will also require Microfilters. The following diagram gives an example of
connecting your ADSL Modem/Router using a Microfilter.
A suitable Microfilter can be purchased from NetComm or your Service Provider, if
required. If installing a POTS Splitter, refer to Appendix F: EM1180 ADSL POTS
Splitter Installation Guide for more information.
