Ethernet or Wireless?

There are two ways to connect your computer (or other equipment) to the Tele-

phony Gateway. The following will help you decide which is best for you:

Ethernet

Ethernet is a standard method of connecting two or more computers into a Local

Area Network (LAN). You can use the Ethernet connection if your computer has

built-in Ethernet hardware.

Note

:

To connect more than four computers to the TG1682 through the Ether-

net ports, you need an Ethernet hub (available at computer retail ers).

The Telephony Gateway comes with one 4-foot (1.2m) Ethernet cable (the connec-

tors look like wide telephone connectors); you can purchase more cables if neces-

sary at a computer retailer. If you are connecting the Telephony Gateway directly

to a computer, or to an Ethernet hub or broadband router with a cross-over switch,

ask for Category 5e (CAT5e) straight-through cable. CAT5e cable is required for gi-

gabit Ethernet (Gig-E), not regular CAT5 cable

Wireless

Wireless access lets you connect additional (wireless-capable) devices to Telephony

Gateway. The 802.11 wireless LAN standard allows one or more computers to ac-

cess the TG1682 using a wireless (radio) signal. These connections are in addition

to the connections supported via Ethernet.

Note

:

You can use the wireless connection if your computer has a built-in or af-

termarket plug-in wireless adapter. To learn more about which wireless

hardware works best with your com puter, see your computer dealer.

Both

If you have two or more computers, you can use Ethernet for up to four devices and

wireless for the others. To connect ﬁve or more computers to the Ethernet ports,

you will need an Ethernet hub (available at computer retailers.)

Battery Installation and Removal

The TG1682 Telephony Gateway supports a Lithium-Ion backup battery to provide

continued telephone service during power outages. The battery backup is not in-

tended to take the place of AC power.

Note:

For safety and regulatory purposes, batteries are shipped outside of the

Telephony Gateway and must be installed.

The TG1682 supports the following battery models:

•

Basic backup battery

— provides up to 4 hours of backup time, depend-

ing on your Telephony Gateway model and usage. It may be light grey or

black.

Basic Battery Installation and Replacement

•

Extended backup battery

— provides up to 8 hours of backup time, de-

pending on model and usage. It has a strap between the battery guides.

This is the standard battery for the TG1682.

Extended Battery Installation and Replacement

Your cable company may include a backup battery with your Telephony Gateway.

Basic Battery Installation and Replacement

This model of the Telephony Gateway supports backup batteries to provide contin-

ued telephone service during power outages. The battery backup is not intended to

take the place of AC power.

Use this procedure to install and to replace the backup battery.

1

Press down and pull back on the latch holding the battery door (on the bot-

tom of the Telephony Gateway). Pull the door toward you. Set the door aside

in a safe place.

CAUTION

Risk of equipment damage

Improperly inserting the battery may damage the battery connector in

the Telephony Gateway. Carefully follow the instructions in the next

step to avoid damage.

2

Hold the battery pack so that the guides on the battery align with the slots

on the Telephony Gateway and slide the battery into the bay. The diagram

on the left shows the proper orientation.

Note

: Batteries will not insert completely into the Telephony Gateway if not

oriented correctly. The battery should slide into the bay without signiﬁcant

force. Line up the guides on the battery with the slots in the battery bay.

3

Push the battery pack into the bay until it seats into place.

If you are tak-

ing the battery out of the Telephony Gateway, position your ﬁnger

in the battery opening area and use leverage to dislodge the battery

while pulling it straight back.

Note

: The Telephony Gateway will not begin operating until you apply AC

power.

4

Replace the door. To do so, place the hinge tab of the battery door into the

receiver slot inside the Telephony Gateway battery compartment on the

opposite end of the battery opening. Rotate the door toward the unit until

the latch snaps back into place.

Note

: Telephony Gateways use a Lithium-Ion battery pack. Please recycle

or dispose of the battery responsibly and in accordance with local ordi-

nances.
