ADSL inline filter installation

This article will demonstrate how to correctly setup a modem with the provided central inline filter correctly. If you have the older style 600 series wall plugs (yellow square with prongs) then you may need to purchase an adaptor that allows you to plug the supplied lines into your phone wall socket.

The rules to adding filters to a line are as follows:

All telephony devices including telephones, faxes, EFTPOS and Foxtel Digital need to be filtered.

Modems DO NOT need to be filtered.

If you are sharing a single phone socket with a modem and a phone/fax then follow the procedure below.

• Locate the phone socket for your ADSL line and remove any existing RJ11 (clear square modular plug) phone cord from the telephone socket located on the wall
• Take your supplied ADSL inline filter and insert the telephone cord from the LINE side into the RJ11 wall socket.
• Insert the RJ11 phone cord or adapter that was previously plugged into the wall socket into the DSL filter on the PHONE side
• Insert the grey RJ11 phone cord supplied with your modem and insert it into the ADSL side of the filter. This line then runs to your modem as shown.

Important Note: If you have more than three (3) telephony devices on the ADSL line or a Back to Base Alarm system, an Austel Approved installer will need to visit you to install a central splitter. If you purchased an ADSL modem through iiNet, we will have provided you with an central inline filter and not a central splitter. A central splitter can be purchased from iiNet but you will need to contact an Austel Approved installer to install it for you.
