What Are the Requirements for Telephone Service?
What Are the Requirements for Telephone Service?
Number of Telephone Devices
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 the total Ringing Load of the telephone devices that are connected. Many telephone devices are marked with a Ringer Equivalent 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 attached and 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 should use the center 2 pins of the RJ-11 connectors to connect to the residential gateway telephone ports. Some telephones use other pins on the RJ-11 connectors and require adapters in order to work.
Dialing Requirements
All your telephones should be set to use DTMF dialing. Pulse dialing is typically not enabled by your local provider.
Telephone Wiring Requirements
The residential gateway supports connecting to the interior telephone wiring as well as connecting directly to a telephone or fax machine. The maximum distance from the unit to the most distant telephone device must not exceed 1000 feet (300 meters). Use 26-gauge twisted-pair, or larger, telephone wiring.
Important: Connection to an existing or a new permanently installed home telephone wiring network must be done by a qualified installer.

How Do I Connect My Gateway for Internet and Telephone Service?
5 Connect one end of a telephone jumper cable (not included) to a telephone outlet
in your home or to a telephone or fax machine. Then connect the other end of the jumper cable to the appropriate RJ-11 TELEPHONE port on the back of the residential gateway. The telephone ports are light gray and are labeled 1/2 and 2 or 1 and 2 depending on the region of the world the residential gateway is used.
Notes:
– Make sure to connect your telephone service to the correct RJ-11 port. For
single line telephone service, connect to port 1/2 or 1.
– In North America, residential gateways have multi-line capability on the
RJ-11 telephone port labeled 1/2. Line 1 is on pins 3 and 4 of port 1/2, and Line 2 is supported on pins 2 and 5. In Europe, residential gateways support only one line per port. Line 1 is on port 1 and line 2 is on port 2.
– Telephones that require electrical connectors other than RJ-11 may
require an external adapter (sold separately).
6 Locate the AC power cord provided with your residential gateway. Insert one
end of the power cord into the AC connector on the back of the residential gateway. Then, plug the AC power cord into an AC outlet to power-up the residential gateway. The residential gateway will perform an automatic search to locate and sign on to the broadband data network. This process may take up to 2­5 minutes. The modem will be ready for use when the POWER, DS, US and ONLINE LEDs on the front panel of the residential gateway stop blinking and remain on continuously.
7 Plug in and power on your PC and other home network devices. The LINK LED
on the residential gateway corresponding to the connected devices should be on or blinking.
8 Once the residential gateway is online, most Internet devices will have
immediate Internet access.
Note: If your PC does not have Internet access, refer to Frequently Asked Questions (on page 94) for information on how to configure your PC for TCP/IP.
For Internet devices other than PCs, refer to the DHCP or IP Address configuration section of the User Guide or Operations Manual for those devices.
