Select an installaon locaon
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a locaon to install your Telephony
Gateway:
■ Is an AC outlet available nearby? For best results, the outlet should not be switched and
should be close enough to the Telephony Gateway that extension cords are not required.
■ Is a cable jack available? For best performance, keep the number of spliers between
the jack and cable drop to a minimum. Each splier aenuates (reduces) the signal
available to the Telephony Gateway A large number of spliers can slow down the
Internet connecon and even aect your telephone service.
■ Can you easily run cables between the Telephony Gateway’s locaon and the phones?
■ If you are connecng devices to the Ethernet ports, can you easily run cables between
the Telephony Gateway’s locaon and those devices?
■ If you want to install the Telephony Gateway on a desktop, is there enough space on
either side to keep the vents clear? Blocking the vents may cause overheang.
