ooma Expansion Base Station Quick Start Manual

Setup Overview

Each Expansion Base Station requires a separate Ethernet connection to the router or switch in
your office. If you want to extend the range of your Linx devices, you should install the expansion
unit in a different location than the primary Base Station. For best Linx range and performance,
spread out the installations of your Base Stations and pair each Linx to the closest Base Station.

NOTE: For best wireless performance, Base Stations should be separated by at
least 12 inches and should not be stacked one on top of another.
IMPORTANT: Ooma Office requires a broadband Internet connection and a minimum
of 128kbps of upstream and downstream bandwidth for each user inside the office.
Users who primarily access the system from outside the office using the mobile app or
a remote number do not need to be counted.
