STEP 3 Connecting Your Phone Equipment to Your Phone Adapter
STEP 4 Confirm Setup
STEP 2 Setting Up Call Forwarding
Your phone system typically connects to your service provider within your wiring closet or panel by
one of two scenarios:
Standard Phone Cable Connections (RJ11)
• Simply move the RJ11 cables from your service provider connection to the ACN Phone Adapter.
Telecom Cross-Connect Block
(May require specialized phone tools.)
• Disconnect the existing cross-connect wires from your service provider connection and replace
with new cross-connect wires. Install an RJ11 connector on the other end of the new
cross-connect wire and then plug the RJ11 connector into the ACN Phone Adapter.
A representative from the Installation Support Team will contact you to test the installation of your ACN Phone Adapter at your scheduled appointment time.
IMPORTANT! Step 2 is only required if you are transferring existing telephone
numbers to ACN and should be completed on the day of your scheduled test call.
Before proceeding with the connection of your equipment to the phone adapter,
you should forward calls to your new telephone numbers. Your new telephone
numbers were sent to you in an email.
1. Lift the handset from your existing phone and enter *72.
2. At the tone, enter your new 10-digit telephone number to which your
calls will be forwarded.
3. When the call is answered, the feature has been activated. If the phone is
busy, or no one answers, repeat the steps above.
4. Test call forwarding by placing an inbound call. The call should not ring to your
existing line.
5. Repeat the steps above for each phone number.
Note that once call forwarding is in place, you will not receive inbound calls until the
installation of your phone adapter is complete or call forwarding has been removed.
To remove, enter *73.
