Devices such as fax machines, caller ID boxes, or phones that share the same phone line as your DSL
account require a line filter, which prevents noise from disrupting the DSL signal on the phone line. Filters
can be in the form of a stand-alone line filter or a wall mount filter. A filter can also be plugged into a two-to-
one adapter if your SpeedStream PPPoE modem will share the same phone jack with another device.
Stand-alone Line Filter
For each device that shares the DSL phone line:
1. Unplug the device’s cord from the phone jack.
2. Plug the filter into the phone jack.
3. Plug the phone cord (or other device cord)
into the filter.
Wall Mount Filter
For a wall mount phone, install a wall mount filter:
1. Remove the phone.
2. Connect the wall mount filter to the wall plate.
3. Reconnect the phone.
Two-to-One Adapter
If your SpeedStream PPPoE modem and another device will share
the same phone jack, install a two-to-one adapter:
1. Plug adapter into the phone jack.
2. Plug a line filter into one of the sockets of
the two-to-one adapter. The other socket will
be used to connect the DSL cable.
3. Plug the telephone (or other device) cord
into the line filter.
If you are using the USB port to install the modem, you will need to provide your CD-ROM drive letter
during software installation. To find the drive letter, double-click the
MMyy CCoommppuutteerr
icon on your desktop.
Look for the CD icon and note the letter next to it. This letter is your CD-ROM drive letter.
Your service provider may include a wall-mount filter, two-to-one adapter(s), line filter(s), and an
Ethernet adapter in your DSL kit. If you received any of these items, follow the instructions provided in
this guide for basic installation. If you need further assistance installing these items, please contact
your service provider.
The SpeedStream
®
PPPoE modem may be connected to either an existing USB port or an Ethernet port. If
you choose to attach the SpeedStream
®
modem via the Ethernet interface, it is only necessary to complete
the steps in Option A. Otherwise, proceed directly to Option B for USB installation.

2. Connect the other end of the straight-through Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your computer.
3. Plug the DSL cable into the DSL port on the modem.
4. Plug the other end of the DSL cable into the phone jack.
