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.
