What Are the Requirements for T elephone S ervice?

If you intend to use the Residential Gateway for digital telephone service, verify that your home meets or exceeds a ll of the following requirements.
Max imum Number of Tele phone s
The RJ-11 telephone-style connectors on the Residential Gateway can each provide telephone service to multiple telephones, fax machines, and analog modems.
The maximum number of telephone devices connected to each RJ-11 port is limited by t he tota l Ringing Load of the telephone devices tha t are connected. Many telephone devices are marked with a Ringer Equiva lent Number (REN). Each telephone port on the Residential Gateway can support up to a 5 REN load.
The sum of the REN load on all of the telephone devices attached to each port must not exceed 5 REN.
Telephone Device Types
You can use telephone devices that are not labeled with a REN number, but the maximum number of attached telephone devices cannot be accurately calculated. With telephone devices that are not labeled, each device should be connected and the ring signal should be tested before adding more devices. If too many telephone devices are at tached a nd the ring signal can no longer be heard, telephone devices should be removed until the ring signal works properly.
Telephones, fax machines, and other telephone devices use the center 2 pins of the RJ-11 connectors to connect to your primary service.
Dialing Re quire ment s
All your telephones should be set to use Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) dialing. Pulse dialing may not be supported by your local service provider.
T e le phone Wiring Requirement s
The Res idential Ga tewa y supports connecting to the interior telephone wiring a s well as connect ing directly to a telephone or fax ma chine. The maximu m dist ance from the unit to the most distant telephone device must not exceed 10 00 feet (300 meters). Use 26-gauge twisted-p air, or larger, telephone wiring.

MoCA Installation Guidelines

MoCA is an in-home distribution technology that leverages the coax cable networks that exist in more t ha n 90% of US households. MoCA is an attractive option because it provides a relatively low-cost method of getting DVR and other multimedia sharing video services to multiple TVs within the home without additional cable installation.
MoCA operates over the physical layer of the home coaxial cable plant in the 1 000­1500 MHz spectrum. Its infrastructure begins a t the service provider’s drop cable at the first passive splitter connected to the home coax network.

Recommended Installation Guidelines

The following guidelines are recommended for a home network prior to installation.
The maximum cable distance supported between the network coordinator and
the last outlet is 300 feet.
The maximum attenuation permitted between nodes is 25 dB. Branches within the home-network should flow from secondary splitters. Assess the home network and determine the data rates between coax outlets. Sectionalize the individual MoCA nodes to validate proper operation of the
device’s MoCA interface.
Evalua te and certify the integrity of the coax cable plant between MoCA nodes.
Mo CA Ins t a lla tio n Guid e line s
OL-29163-01 23
Identify sources of noise and interference on the MoCA spectrum. Re-qua lify additional coax outlets to support MoCA-enabled devices and
services.

Pre-Installation Instructions

Prior to installing MoCA, complete the following tasks:
1 Contact your service provider and ensure that the Residential Gateway is
enabled for MoCA services.
2 Ensure that a MoCA filter has been has been installed by your service provider at
