Connection To The Traditional Telephone Network - THOMSON TG784 Setup And User Manual

4.1.1

Connection to the Traditional Telephone Network

Combining VoIP with the traditional telephone network
The Thomson Gateway allows you to use both the traditional telephone network (PSTN) as the VoIP network
on the same device.
This way, you can still make calls over the traditional network if the VoIP service is down (e.g. your Thomson
Gateway is powered off).
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.
What do I have to do to configure this?
If your Thomson Gateway:
Does not have a PSTN port on its back panel then the Thomson Gateway has an integrated filter. Both
DSL and PSTN are coming in via the DSL port, so no extra connections are needed.
In this case the DSL port must be directly connected to your telephone outlet. Do not put any
filter or splitter between them!
Has a PSTN port on its back panel you have to connect this port to the Phone output of your filter or
splitter:
