NOTE: If your DSL service provider cannot supply a DSL splitter, it is
possible to purchase an outdoor DSL splitter over the Internet.
If you are a new DSL customer, your DSL service provider will probably ask
you if you have more than one telephone line in your home or business, or if
you are installing a phone system. If you answer yes, your DSL service
provider will probably advise you that you need a splitter. In most cases, your
DSL service provider will supply you with the proper splitter for your specific
situation. The DSL splitter, installed properly, should help overcome any
interference between the DSL signal and the signals sent by your phone
system.
AT&T shall not be responsible for the cost of installation, any damages, lost
business, direct or indirect expenses accrued or associated with installation,
or other compatibility issues which may arise as a result of using this product
while you subscribe to DSL service.
Glossary
Auto-attendant: The 984 phone in your multi-phone system is designated
to pick up a ringing line automatically after a selected number of rings. The
auto-attendant plays the selected outgoing announcement and redirects the
call if the caller enters an extension number. You can designate up to 16
auto-attendants in your phone system.
Caller ID: Caller identification is a subscriber service available from most
local telephone companies for a fee. When you subscribe to caller
identification, you can see who’s calling before you answer the phone if you and
the caller are both in areas offering caller ID service with compatible
equipment.
Caller ID with call waiting: This is a single, combined subscriber service
which may be available from your local telephone company. If you subscribe
to this service, you can use your 984 telephone to see who’s calling even
while you are on another call (as long as your caller is in an area with caller
ID service and both telephone companies use compatible equipment).
Centrex service: A special subscriber service which may be available
from your local telephone company for a fee. This 984 telephone can be
used with Centrex service.
COVM: Central Office Voice Mail is a subscriber voice message service
which may be available from your local telephone company. This service may
be called by another name in your area (e.g. call answering).
