Installing and Connecting Your

Telephony Gateway

Before you start, make sure that:

•

You have contacted your cable company and veriﬁed that they provide data

and telephone service using standard DOCSIS technology.

•

You have all the

items you need

.

•

Cable, phone, and power outlets are available near the computer. If a cable

outlet is not conveniently located, your cable company can install a new one.

If you have ordered service, your cable company should conﬁgure the Telephony

Gateway automatically. You need only follow the instructions in this section to in-

stall and connect the Telephony Gateway.

CAUTION

Risk of equipment damage

Only qualiﬁed installation technicians should connect the Telephony

Gateway to house wiring. Incumbent telephone service must be physi-

cally disconnected at the outside interface box before making any

connections.

Selecting an Installation Location

There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a location to install your

Telephony Gateway:

•

Is an AC outlet available nearby? For best results, the outlet should not be

switched and should be close enough to the Telephony Gateway that exten-

sion cords are not required.

•

Is a cable jack available? For best performance, keep the number of split-

ters between the jack and cable drop to a minimum. Each splitter attenuates

(re duces) the signal available to the Telephony Gateway. A large number of

split ters can slow down the Internet connection and even affect your tele-

phone service.

•

Can you easily run cables between the Telephony Gateway’s location and

the phones?

•

If you are connecting devices to the Ethernet ports, can you easily run ca-

bles between the Telephony Gateway’s location and those devices?

•

If you want to install the Telephony Gateway on a desktop, is there enough

space on either side to keep the vents clear? Blocking the vents may cause

overheating.

•

How close are your wireless devices? The Telephony Gateway wireless con-

nection range is typically 100–200 feet (30m–65m). A number of factors

can affect connection range, as described below.

Desktop mounting instructions

Position the Telephony Gateway so that:

•

air ﬂows freely around it

•

the back faces the nearest wall

•

it will not fall to the ﬂoor if bumped or moved

•

the side of the unit are not blocked.
