Ethernet Connection to One Computer

Make the connections to the modem in the following sequence:

1.

Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable connection in the wall, and the other end to

the CABLE jack on the Residential Voice Gateway.

2.

Connect the plug from the AC power supply into the POWER AC ADAPTER jack on the

Residential Voice Gateway, and plug the power supply into an AC outlet.

Note: Use only the power supply that accompanied this unit. Using other adapters may damage

the unit.

3.

Connect one end of the Ethernet cable (straight-wired, see below) to the Ethernet port on the

back of your computer, and the other end to the ETHERNET port on the Residential Voice

Gateway.

Make sure that the Ethernet cable is straight-wired (not “null” or crossover-wired). However,

you will need a crossover-type cable if you are connecting the modem to a hub, or a hub

within a port switch that provides the same function.

Connecting More Than Two Computers to the Residential Voice Gateway

For TWG 850, if you need to connect more than two computers or if you need to connect two

computers, but USB is not available, you’ll need the following additional equipment:

²

Crossover-wired, or “null,” category 5 Ethernet cable for the EMTA Gateway to be connected

to the hub

²

10BaseT or 100BaseT Hub or Switch

²

Straight through, or standard, category 5 Ethernet cable (one for each computer to be

connected)

If you have a hub with an uplink port*, a straight through cable can be used in combination with

that port in lieu of the crossover cable.

*An uplink port has a small switch on it to change the polarity of the connection. It can accept

either a crossover or a straight cable, depending on the setting.

Telephone or Fax Connection

When properly connected, most telephony devices can be used with the Residential Voice

Gateway

just as with conventional telephone service. To make a normal telephone call, pick up

the handset; listen for a dial tone, then dial the desired number. For services such as call waiting,

use the hook switch (or FLASH button) to change calls. The following procedures describe some

of the possible connection schemes for using telephony devices with the Residential Voice

Gateway.

1.

Connect a standard phone line cord directly from the phone (fax machine, answering

machine, caller ID box, etc.) to one of the LINE jacks on the

Residential Voice Gateway.

2.

If there is a phone line in your home which is NOT connected to another telephone service

provider, connect a standard phone line cord from a jack on this line to one of the LINE jacks

of the Residential Voice Gateway. Connect a standard phone line cord directly from the phone

(fax machine, answering machine, caller ID box, etc.) to one of the other jacks in the house

that uses that line.

3.

If you have a multi-line telephone, connect a standard phone line cord (not an RJ-14 type line

cord) from the phone to the LINE jacks on the Residential Voice Gateway. (Other phones can

be added to each line by using standard phone line splitters.
