Telephone Or Fax Connection - THOMSON ACG905 -- C Manual

Telephone or Fax Connection

When properly connected, most telephony devices can be used with the Advanced Cable
Gateway just as with conventional telephone service. To make a normal telephone call, pick
up the handset; listen for a dial tone, then dial the desired number. For services such as call
waiting, use the hook switch (or FLASH button) to change calls. The following procedures
describe some of the possible connection schemes for using telephony devices with the
Advanced Cable Gateway.
Connect a standard phone line cord directly from the phone (fax machine, answering
1.
machine, caller ID box, etc.) to the TEL port on the Advanced Cable Gateway.
If there is a phone line in your home which is NOT connected to another telephone
2.
service provider, connect a standard phone line cord RJ-11 to the TEL port of the
Advanced Cable Gateway. Connect a standard phone line cord directly from the phone
(fax machine, answering machine, caller ID box, etc.) to one of the other sockets in the
house that uses that line.
If you have a multi-line telephone, connect a standard phone line cord (not an RJ-14 type
3.
line cord) from the phone to the TEL port on the Advanced Cable Gateway (other phones
can be added to the line by using a standard phone line splitter).
