Items You Need

If you are installing the Telephony Gateway yourself, make sure you have the following
items on hand before continuing:
Telephony Gateway package: see

the package.
Coaxial cable (coax): This is a round cable with a connector on each end. It is the

same kind of wire used to connect to your television for cable TV. You can buy coax
from any electronics retailer and many discount stores; make sure it has connectors on
both ends. There are two types of connectors, slip-on and screw-on; the screw-on
connectors are best for use with your Telephony Gateway. The coax should be long
enough to reach from your Telephony Gateway to the nearest cable outlet.
Note: For best performance, use high-quality RG-6 type coax cable and minimize or eliminate
splitters between the cable jack and the Data Gateway.
Phone Cable: This is a standard phone cable with standard phone connectors (RJ11

type) on both ends. You can buy phone cables from any electronics retailer and many
discount stores.
Splitter (optional): provides an extra cable connection by splitting a single outlet

into two. You may need a splitter if you have a TV already connected to the cable outlet
that you want to use. You can buy a splitter from any electronics retailer and most
discount stores; you may also need a short piece of coax cable (with connectors); use it
to connect the splitter to the cable outlet and then connect the Telephony Gateway and
TV to the splitter.
