Chapter 5: Installing and Connecting your Telephony Gateway

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 (6). 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. If you are using MoCA for your

home network, MoCA filters must be installed on any legacy client devices. Your cable company

will install these filters for you.

2. Insert the plug from the power cord into the Power connector on the back of the

Telephony Gateway (7) and insert the power cord into a convenient AC outlet.

The Power light on the front of the Telephony Gateway lights up, then flashes once

(refer to the LED tables shown in Using the Telephony Gateway). See

Troubleshooting

(page 38) if the Power light does not turn on.
