Items You Need

If you are installing the Telephony Gateway yourself, make sure you have the fol-

low ing items on hand before continuing:

•Telephony Gateway package: see What’s in the Box? for a list of items

in the package.

•Coaxial cable (coax): as shown in the image to the left, this is a round

cable with a connector on each end. It is the same kind of wire used to con-

nect to your television for cable TV. You can buy coax from any electronics

retailer and many discount stores; make sure it has connectors on both

ends. There are two types of connectors, slip-on and screw-on; the screw-

on connectors are best for use with your Telephony Gateway. The coax

should be long enough to reach from your Telephony Gateway to the near-

est cable outlet.

•Phone Cable: as shown in the image to the left, this is a standard phone

cable with standard phone connectors (RJ11 type) on both ends. You can

buy phone cables from any electronics retailer and many discount stores.

•Splitter (optional): provides an extra cable connection by splitting a sin-

gle outlet into two. You may need a splitter if you have a TV already con-

nected to the cable outlet that you want to use. You can buy a splitter from

any electronics retailer and most discount stores; you may also need a short

piece of coax cable (with connectors); use it to connect the splitter to the

cable outlet and then connect the Telephony Gateway and TV to the splitter.

Note: A splitter effectively cuts the signal in half and sends each half to its

two outputs. Using several splitters in a line may deteriorate the quality of

your television, telephone, and/or internet connection.

•Wall-Mounting Bracket (optional): if you want to wall-mount your Tele-

phony Gateway, you need to obtain two drywall anchors or wood screws and

order a wall-mounting bracket from your cable company.

Phone Cable

•Information packet: your cable company should furnish you with a packet

containing information about your service and how to set it up. Read this in-

formation carefully and contact your cable company if you have any ques-

tions.

Getting Service

Before trying to use your new Telephony Gateway, contact your local cable company

to establish an Internet account and telephone service. When you call, have the

fol lowing information ready:

• the Telephony Gateway serial number and cable MAC addresses of the unit

(printed on a sticker on the bottom of the Telephony Gateway)

• the model number of the Telephony Gateway

If the Telephony Gateway was provided by your cable company, they already have

the required information.

In addition, you should ask your cable company the following questions:

• Do you have any special system requirements or ﬁles that I need to down-

load after I am connected?

• When can I start using my Telephony Gateway?

• Do I need a user ID or password to access the Internet or my e-mail?

• Will my phone number(s) change?

• What new calling features will I have and how do I use them?
