Installing the Gateway

Connecting VoIP telephones
Some models include an RJ-14 port (Phone 1 & 2) that can support up to two phone
lines using a splitter or multi-jack adapter.
WARNING:
Do not connect the VoIP lines to your current home telephone wiring,
especially if your home has an alarm system. Ensure that you are subscribed to VoIP
service before configuring VoIP on the gateway.
1. Connect one end of the phone cable to the gray Phone Lines 1 & 2 port on the
gateway.
2. Do one of the following:
•
For one phone, connect the phone cable directly to the telephone.
•
For two phones, connect the phone cable to a splitter and then to the
telephones.
After the gateway recognizes the phones (Line 1 and Line 2), the
Phone 1
and
Phone 2
lights turn steady green and blink when the associated phone is active.
