Do I need a micro filter?
An ADSL Microfilter filters out ADSL signals to allow ADSL and regular Voice Calls to share a single telephone line.
Any equipment sharing your ADSL telephone line, other than an ADSL must be connected to a telephone
jackpoint via a microfilter. Examples of such non-ADSL equipment that MUST connect through a microfilter
are :
• Telephone Handset
• Fax Machine
• Foxtel digital set
• Back to base alarm
• Dial-up modem (non adsl)
• Caller display unit
• Other devices that have an integral router
Failure to connect ALL non-ADSL equipment via a microfilter may result in loss of the data link whenever a call
is made or answered. In many cases the link will also be lost when a call is received even if it is not answered.
