Product Description
The Westell ADSL modem provides downstream data rates of up to 8 Mbps and upstream rates of 800 kbps, though your speed will depend on the service you have.
ADSL signals must be blocked from reaching each telephone, answering machine,
fax machine, conventional computer modem or any similar conventional devices.
Failure to do so may degrade telephone voice quality and ADSL performance.
To block the ADSL signal from telephone equipment and vice versa install
the microfilters supplied with the modem:
Microfilters - Install a microfilter at each
telephone jack being used for a phone, answering machine, fax machine
or other telephone device. Microfilter installation is simple and requires
no tools or telephone rewiring. Just unplug the telephone device from
the baseboard or wall mount and snap in a microfilter, then snap in
the telephone device.
If you need more filters than what was supplied with your modem, you
may purchase them from Westell.
