Common Splitter and Microfilter Configurations
This section describes the most common scenarios using splitters and microfilters with the
Cisco 1407 and Cisco 1417 routers. The scenarios are listed from most common to least
common.
Telco-Installed Splitter
This scenario is described below and illustrated in Figure 2-2.
• The splitter is installed by the telephone company on the customer premises. This type
of splitter is also referred to as a network interface device (NID).
• The router and telephone are on separate lines (twisted pair) to the splitter.
• The router and telephone share the same telephone line (twisted pair) to the telco.
• Microfilters are optional and should be installed only if they improve telephone call
quality.
