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-mount hardware (optional): if you want to wall-mount your Tele-

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

See the Wall-Mount Template and Instructions for more details.
