Items You Need
If you are installing the Telephony Gateway yourself, make sure you have the fol-
lowing 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
connect 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 nearest cable outlet.
Note: For best performance, use high-quality RG-6 type coax cable and mini-
mize or eliminate splitters between the cable jack and the Telephony Gateway.
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 single
outlet into two. You may need a splitter if you have a TV already connected
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.
