Introduction
Connections to in-building telephone wiring
If you have a number of telephones located in different rooms that you want to
connect to the SOMAport, you can connect them through the existing telephone
wiring in your building. This allows you to avoid running long cables throughout
your home or office to connect your telephones to the SOMAport.
To connect telephones to the SOMAport using the telephone wiring in your
home or office, you connect the SOMAport and each telephone to a wall phone
jack.
If you decide to use your in-building wiring, do not use wires that are in use for
phone service from the local telephone company. You can test if your home
wiring is active by connecting a telephone to a wall telephone outlet and listening
for dial tone. Contact your wireless service provider for guidelines.
