Telephone Service
You will need to establish a telephone account with your local service provider to
use your Wireless Gateway for telephone service.
When you contact your service provider, you may be able to transfer your existing
telephone numbers. If not, then your cable telephony service provider will assign a
new telephone number to enable your voice service(s). Discuss these options with
your telephony service provider.
Where Is the Best Location for My Wireless Gateway?
The ideal location for your Wireless Gateway is where it has access to outlets and
other devices. Think about the layout of your home or office, and consult with your
service provider to select the best location for your Wireless Gateway. Read this user
guide thoroughly before you decide where to place your Wireless Gateway.
Consider these recommendations:
 Choose a location close to your computer if you will also use the Wireless
Gateway for high-speed Internet service.
 Choose a location that is near an existing RF coaxial connection to eliminate the
need for an additional RF coaxial outlet.
 Choose a location that is relatively protected from accidental disturbance or
harm, such as a closet, basement, or other protected area.
 Choose a location so that there is plenty of room to guide the cables away from
the Wireless Gateway without straining or crimping them.
 Choose a location that allows adequate ventilation around the Wireless Gateway.
 Choose a location for the Wireless Gateway that is adjacent to your telephone
equipment if you plan on connecting your phone directly to the Wireless
Gateway.
Note: If you are using the Wireless Gateway to provide service to several
telephones, a professional installer can connect the Wireless Gateway to your
existing home telephone wiring.
