Re: Apartment Install 
After identifying my customers line and checking sync I began installing the LPF-200f onto my customers IW. The IW was a 6-pair with 2 lines being used by dial-tone. I chose the red/blue pair(pair 6) to use as my unfiltered line. I took the existing IW(white/blue) off and attached a new piece of cat-5 rated wiring. We use a violet/blue colored wire to signify that it's a DSL line so that other techs who come along will know to leave it alone. Cat-3 wiring is all you need, but since it only comes cat-5 that's what gets used. Using my new piece of wiring and the pair I'm using for my DSL, I splice them to the filter on the red/green wires. I then splice the existing IW to the red/green with white tracers. This is shown on the outside of the filter. Dial-tone comes in red/green, out red/green/white. (Hint: Try not to cut off any wire than you have to as you might later have to re-wire and you'll need the slack)
After making my splices I carefully tucked the filter into the bottom where hopefully it will remained undisturbed. |
