Cleaning Instructions
Clean the Telephony Gateway using only a clean, slightly moistened, cloth. Do not
use aerosols in the vicinity of the Telephony Gateway.
Factors Affecting Wireless Range
A number of factors can affect the usable range for wireless connections.
Note:
Decreasing the range of your wireless network may be beneficial, as long
as the decreased range is sufficient for your needs. By limiting your net-
work’s range, you reduce interference with other networks and make it
harder for unwant ed users to find and connect to your network.
Note:
Setting the trasmit power level to High increases the range. Setting it
to Medium or Low decreases the range proportionately.
Increases range:
•
Raising the unit above the devices (for example, in-
stalling the Telephony Gateway in the upper floor of a
multi-story dwelling)
•
Adding a wireless extender to the network
Decreases range:
•
Lowering the unit below the devices (for example, in-
stalling the Telephony Gateway in a basement)
•
Metal or concrete walls between the Telephony Gate-
way and other devices
•
Large metal appliances, aquariums, or metal cabinets
between the Telephony Gateway and other devices
•
Interference and RF noise (2.4 GHz wireless phones,
microwave ovens, or other wireless networks)

Connecting the Telephony Gateway
WARNING
Risk of injury or equipment damage
Connecting the Telephony Gateway to the home’s existing telephone
wiring should only be performed by a professional installer. Physical con-
nections to the previous telephone provider must be removed and the
wiring must be checked; there must not be any voltage. Cancellation of
telephone service is not adequate. Failure to do so may result in loss of
service and/or permanent damage to the Telephony Gateway.
1
Connect one end of the coax cable to the cable outlet or splitter, and the
other end to the Telephony Gateway’s Cable connector (
F
). Tighten the con-
nections by hand, then tighten an additional 1/8 turn with a wrench.
Note
: For best performance, use high-quality coax cable and minimize or
eliminate splitters between the cable jack and the Telephony Gateway.
2
Insert the plug from the power cord into the Power connector on the back
of the Telephony Gateway (
H
) and insert the power cord into a convenient
AC outlet.
The Power light on the front of the Telephony Gateway lights up, then flashes
once (refer to the LED tables shown in Using the Telephony Gateway). See
Troubleshooting
if the Power light does not turn on.
3
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to any Ethernet port on the back of
the Telephony Gateway, (
E
) and the other end to the Ethernet port on a
com puter, hub, or broadband router.
Note
: If you are connecting to a computer or an Ethernet hub with a cross-
over switch, use a straight-through cable.
4
Connect one end of the telephone cable to the telephone port on the back
of the Telephony Gateway (
C
or
D
). Connect the other end to the telephone.
Home Alarm Connection
The Alarm port (
D
) is for use with an analog home alarm system or for a sec-
ond phone line. Only a trained professional (Comcast or alarm installer)
should use this port.

Configuring Your Wireless Connection
The TG1682 ships with a secure SSID that is unique for every device. Wi-Fi network
information is located on the side panel label. If your computer is equipped with a
802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless LAN card, you may wish to configure the Telephony
Gateway’s wireless settings.
Note:
At a minimum, you should set a login password and set up wire-
less security.
Refer to the separate wireless configuration documenta-
tion for complete instructions on configuring your wireless connection.
