How Phone devices work with the ooma System

See below for more information about how your ooma system works with common devices that plug into the phone line.

Cordless Phones

To connect a cordless phone to your ooma system, simply plug
the base station into the port labeled
ooma Scout.
For cordless phone systems with multiple handsets, only the main
base station needs to be plugged into an ooma Hub or ooma
Scout. Handset charging cradles that do not plug into a phone jack
do not need to be connected to an ooma device.

Fax Machines
For best results, fax machines should be connected to the ooma
Hub, not to an ooma Scout.

Other devices

Devices such as digital video recorders, satellite receivers, security
systems and other machines that utilize the phone line to make
outgoing calls do not need to be connected through an ooma
device. Leave them connected to the phone line, as-is.
