Unless there is a central house ADSL filter installed on your premises, any equipment sharing your ADSL telephone line, other than an ADSL modem 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-upModem (non-adsl)
- Caller display unit
- Other devices that have an integral modem
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.
