Using POTS Splitters and Microfilters
Figure 10 Customer-Installed Splitter
Router and Telephone Using Separate Telephone Lines
This scenario is described below and illustrated in Figure 11.
• The telephone company has provisioned a single copper pair to be used exclusively by the router
with an ADSL card and a separate copper pair to be used exclusively by the telephone (POTS)
service; therefore, neither a POTS splitter nor a microfilter is needed.
• The microfilter is optional; it should be installed only if it improves telephone call quality.
