DSL Filter Installation Guide

For Wall-Mounted Telephones

Usage

•

The 2Wire DSL Filter for wall-mounted telephones works with G.lite ADSL, Full-rate G.dmt ADSL, and 

home phoneline computer networks (HPNA 1.0 and HPNA 2.0).

•

Use this filter with all single-line wall-mounted telephones. Other telephone devices (desktop phone, 

analog modem, FAX, or answering machine), require the 2Wire DSL Filter.

•

You need one DSL Filter for each telephone device (desktop phone, analog modem, FAX, or answering 

machine). If you have several telephone devices connected to each other and are using a single 

telephone wall jack, install only one filter, connecting it between the wall jack and the first device in the 

series.

•

IMPORTANT: Do not connect a 2Wire DSL Filter to an ADSL modem or to a home phoneline network 

adapter. The filter blocks access to the phone line for these devices.

Filter installation

Your objective is to install the filter between the original wall 

plate and your wall-mounted phone.

1.

Lift the telephone from the wall pegs, and disconnect the 

phone cord from the wall jack.

2.

Connect the phone cord from the back of the 2Wire DSL 

Filter into the wall jack, and mount the filter on the wall plate 

pegs.

3.

Connect the phone cord to the phone jack located on the 

front of the mounted 2Wire DSL Filter. If you have a DSL 

modem, you can connect it to the phone jack located 

at the bottom of the filter.

4.

Attach the telephone to the mounting pegs on the 

2Wire DSL Filter and your installation is complete.
