A microfilter removes interference between voice and ADSL signals. If a microfilter was not included with the gateway, ask your ISP if microfilters are necessary for your telephony devices.

1. Plug each telephony device cable (telephone, fax machine, etc.) into a microfilter.

2. Connect the microfilter into the telephone wall jack.
   
   

Note: Do not install a microfilter on the cable that will connect your gateway to the telephone jack unless you have a dual connection microfilter with a connection for both the gateway and the telephone.

   1. Connect the provided antennas to the back of the gateway.

   2. Connect one end of the included phone cable to the ADSL port on the gateway.

   3. Connect the other end of the phone cable to your wall telephone jack.

2. Connect the gateway to your computer:

   1. Power off your computer.

   2. Connect one end of the supplied Ethernet cable to your computer’s Ethernet adapter.

   3. Connect the other end to one of the gateway’s LAN ports.
