2.4.1  Connecting a POTS Splitter 
This is for the Prestige that follows the Full Rate (G.dmt) standard only.  One major difference between 
ADSL and dial-up modems is the optional telephone splitter. This device keeps the telephone and ADSL 
signals separated, giving them the capability to provide simultaneous Internet access and telephone service 
on the same line.  Splitters also eliminate the destructive interference conditions caused by telephone sets.  
The purchase of a POTS splitter is optional.  
Noise generated from a telephone in the same frequency range, as the ADSL signal can be disruptive to the 
ADSL signal. In addition the impedance of a telephone when off-hook may be so low that it shunts the 
strength of the ADSL signal. When a POTS splitter is installed at the entry point, where the line comes into 
the home, it will filter the telephone signals before combining the ADSL and telephone signals transmitted 
and received. The issues of noise and impedance are eliminated with a single POTS splitter installation. 
A telephone splitter is easy to install as shown in the following figure. 
 
Figure 2-3 Connecting a POTS Splitter 
Step 1.  Connect the side labeled “Phone” to your telephone. 
Step 2.  Connect the side labeled “Modem” to your Prestige. 
Step 3.  Connect the side labeled “Line” to the telephone wall jack. 
2.4.2 Telephone Microfilters 
Telephone voice transmissions take place in the lower frequency range, 0 - 4KHz, while ADSL 
transmissions take place in the higher bandwidth range, above 4KHz. A microfilter acts as a low-pass filter, 
for your telephone, to ensure that ADSL transmissions do not interfere with your telephone voice 
transmissions. The purchase of a telephone microfilter is optional.  
Step 1.  Connect a phone cable from the wall jack to the single jack end of the Y- Connector.
