Install Line Filters
Stand-alone Line Filter
Wall-mount Filter
Devices such as fax machines, caller 
ID boxes, or phones that share 
the same phone line as your DSL 
account require a line lter, which 
prevents noise from disrupting the 
DSL signal on the phone line. Filters 
can be in the form of a stand-alone 
line lter or a wall-mount lter.
Stand-alone Line Filter
For each device that shares the 
DSL phone line:
1.  Unplug the device’s cord from  
  the phone jack.
2.  Plug the lter into the 
  phone jack.
3.  Plug the phone cord (or other 
  device cord) into the lter.
Wall-mount Filter
For a wall-mount phone, install a 
wall-mount lter.
1.  Remove the phone.
2.  Connect the wall-mount lter  
  to the wall plate.
3.  Reconnect the phone.
