ADSL signals must be blocked from reaching each telephone, answering machine, fax machine, conventional
computer mode or any similar conventional devices. Failure to do so may degrade telephone voice quality and
ADSL performance. There are two ways to block the ADSL signal from telephone equipment:
Method 1. Microfilters – Install a microfilter at each telephone jack being used for a phone, answering
machine, fax machine or other telephone device. Microfilter installation is simple and requires no tools
or telephone rewiring. Just unplug the telephone device from the baseboard or wall mount and snap in a
microfilter, then snap in the telephone device. Contact Westell to obtain a microfilter kit (Westell part
number A90-36FK201) which contains multiple microfilters for your installation.
Method 2: POTS Splitter – Install a POTS splitter (Westell model 32RTPSGNA1) at the telephone
service entry point. Installation of a POTS splitter may require telephone rewiring, therefore, POTS
splitter installation is typically performed by your service provider. If you choose to use a POTS splitter,
contact your telephone company or service provider for installation.
