Overview
DECT base station
The integrated DECT base station allows you to connect your DECT phones to the Thomson Gateway. This
way you will be able to make phone calls over the Internet and save on communication costs, especially for
long-distance calls.
Phone Port
The Phone ( ) port allows you to connect a traditional phone to your Thomson Gateway. This way you will
be able to make phone calls over the Internet and save on communication costs, especially for long-distance
calls.
For more information, see “6.1 Setting Up Your Telephone Network” on page 46.
PSTN Port (optional)
The PSTN port allows you to connect the Thomson Gateway to the traditional telephone network, i.e. the
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). When the VoIP connection is not available, the Thomson
Gateway will automatically switch from VoIP to the traditional telephone network.
For more information, see “6.1.2 Connection to the Traditional Telephone Network” on page 48.
If your Thomson Gateway does not have a PSTN port, this means that:
Your Thomson Gateways has an integrated filter
The Thomson Gateway separates the phone signal from the signal coming from the DSL port.
Your Thomson Gateway has an integrated filter if the product name printed on the label of your
Thomson Gateway ends with “wIF” (with Integrated Filter). If this suffix is not present, then
your Thomson Gateway does not have an integrated filter.
- or -
Your Thomson Gateway is VoIP-only
All calls passing through the Thomson Gateway will be done via VoIP.
Be aware that, if you are not connected to the traditional telephone network, emergency calls will not
be possible when your Internet connection is down or your Thomson Gateway is powered off.
