Choose an installation location
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a location to install your Telephony
Gateway:
■
Is an AC outlet available nearby? For best results, the outlet should not be switched and
should be close enough to the Telephony Gateway that extension cords are not required.
■
Is a cable jack available? For best performance, keep the number of splitters between
the jack and cable drop to a minimum. Each splitter attenuates (reduces) the signal
available to the Telephony Gateway. A large number of splitters can slow down the
Internet connection and even affect your telephone service.
■
Can you easily run cables between the Telephony Gateway’s location and the phones?
