Step 3: Install a Telephone Filter on Every Telephone Line
IMPORTANT: Install filters on every phone jack on your DSL line that
will be used for an analog device to prevent interference from the
digital signal provided by DSL service. A filter is required between all
phones, answering machines, fax machines, Caller ID units or analog
routers and the phone jack for the DSL line. Connect the phone line
connected to your router to the side of the filter labeled “ADSL HPN”

by your PC manufacturer.
In Addition:

Step 4: Install the Netopia45413 DSL Router
Insert the connector
from the power
adapter to the power
port, and plug the
other end into an
electrical outlet.
Connect one end of the
phone cord to the jack
labeled “DSL” on your
router, and the other
end to the side of the
filter labeled “ADSL
HPN”. This is not
necessary if the router
does not share the jack
with another analog
device such as a phone,
answering machine, fax
machine, etc. Use Serial Port cable to transfer
data between your Router and the
PC if you wish to reconfigure the
Router. (This step is not needed
for normal installation. Call
MegaPath Networks at 1-877-
611-6342 before you start to
reconfigure the Router.)
Plug one end
of the Ethernet
cable into one
of the empty
ports labeled
Ethernet.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the
