2.4 Connections Overview and Powering
Introduction
If you want to make the required connections yourself without using the guided installation procedure as
recommended, you must:
> Read the safety instructions and regulatory notices first.
> Follow the order as indicated below.
DSL connection
Use the grey DSL cable to connect the Thomson Gateway DSL port to your telephone wall outlet or
distributed filter.
DECT phone connection
The Thomson Gateway allows you to connect up to five DECT phones. For more information on how to
connect your DECT phones, see “2.4.3 DECT Setup” on page 27.
VoIP Connections
With the Thomson Gateway, you can make telephone calls over the Internet using a traditional phone. To use
the VoIP service, your provider will give you a telephone number like Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), user
name and password. Depending on your phone/VoIP contract, you can still make calls over the regular
telephone line.
Powering the Thomson Gateway
Plug the coaxial jack of the electric power supply adapter into the Thomson Gateway power inlet port and the
other end into the wall outlet.
As soon as the Thomson Gateway is powered via its power inlet, the device starts up.
Network connections
Your Thomson Gateway allows you to connect your computer(s) via:
> Ethernet
> USB
> Wireless networking
