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 connections to the previous telephone provider
must be removed and the wiring must be checked; there must not be any voltage. Cancelation
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 (5). Tighten the connections 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 (6) and insert the power cord into a convenient AC outlet. Make sure
that the rear panel power switch (7) is set to the ON position.
The Power light on the front of the Telephony Gateway lights up, then flashes once (refer
(page 36) if the Power light does not turn on.
