DSL and receiver phone line

[joeh]

I am scheduled for my 625 install tomorrow so I went ahead and ran a phone line. I hooked the phone line up to my 301 which will be replaced by the 625 and the 301 says “Phone Connection FAILURE no dialtone check phone connection". I have hooked a phone up to this line and get dial tone. I have DSL so my question is do I need to hook this up a special way through a DSL phone filter?
Thanks

Yep... you need a filter on it, but either way if you have dial tone with a test phone, don't worry about it.

The phone plug/pins inside the reciever could be bent, or it's just a bad connection. Wiggle it around and try it again.

Have a whole house filter and an unfiltered line run to your PC.

If possible put the DSL modem and its filter (or the special trap) at the entry point from the phone company and pass only the phone to the rest of your equipment. You might have to run a CAT-5/6 line from the modem to your switch/router or directly to your computer. They try to have you put traps on each line but that is overkill if you can have the modem upstream of everthing else, as I do. Your modem (mileage) may vary.

I have a line directly from the phone box to my dsl modem, and then the rest of the house is on the "phone side" of a dsl filter. The cable I have going to the dish is on the "phone side" of the dsl filter, so everything should be ok then?
Thanks

Thanks for the help guys, the installer came and the new receiver is working just dandy on the phone side of the dsl filter.
