A filter is a small electronic component that fits between your phone line and a regular voice device, such as a phone or fax.
All devices in the house except the DSL modem itself must be connected through filters. The filter is responsible for protecing the phone devices from high frequency noise on the line. In addition, the filter protects the DSL signal from being contaminated by high frequency noise added by analog phone devices or answering machines.
