Question about BT wiring

Hi

I have organised for broadband to be installed on a friends phone
line. Unfortunately, he had a Panasonic exchange unit fitted a few
years ago so I need to tap into the phone line before it enters the
exchange unit.

The way I see it there are two approaches:

1. Break the line before the exchange unit and put an extension socket
in, then plug the adsl micro-filter into this socket. This doesn't
sound right to me though.

2. Break the line and put a female socket on the end that comes in
from the outside, plug the micro-filter into this, then put a male
connector onto the end that goes to the panasonic exchange unit and
plug this into the micro-filter's other socket.

Can anyone advise me of how to best accomplish this?

many thanks.

only 2 will achieve anything, 1 puts a microfilter in the only place
where one isn't needed ie on the ADSL coneciotn. The connection to the
exchange unit should go through a filtered socket or microfilter.

every voice type device heeds to be fed through afilter, the aDSL
port of a microfilter is a straight pass-through.

Break into the line & put a NTE5, then using a faceplate filter cable pins 2
& 5 on the back of the filter back into the switch. This does work & has
been done by myself & many colleagues over the years...
