Items You Need
f you are installing the Telephony Gateway yourself, make sure you have the fol-
low ing items on hand before continuing:
•Telephony Gateway package: see What’s in the Box? for a list of items
in the package.
•Coaxial cable (coax): as shown in the image to the left, this is a round
cable with a connector on each end. t is the same kind of wire used to con-
nect 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 near-
est cable outlet.
•Phone Cable: as shown in the image to the left, 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 sin-
gle outlet into two. You may need a splitter if you have a TV already con-
nected to the cable outlet that you want to use. You can buy a splitter from
Phone Cable

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.
Note: A splitter effectively cuts the signal in half and sends each half to its
two outputs. Using several splitters in a line may deteriorate the quality of
your television, telephone, and/or internet connection.
•Wall-mount hardware (optional): if you want to wall-mount your Tele-
phony Gateway, you need to obtain two drywall anchors or wood screws.
See the Wall-Mount Template and nstructions for more details.
•Information packet: your cable company should furnish you with a packet
containing information about your service and how to set it up. Read this in-
formation carefully and contact your cable company if you have any ques-
tions.
Getting Service
Before trying to use your new Telephony Gateway, contact your local cable company
to establish an nternet account and telephone service. When you call, have the
fol lowing information ready:
• the Telephony Gateway serial number and cable MAC addresses of the unit
(printed on a sticker on the bottom of the Telephony Gateway)
• the model number of the Telephony Gateway
f the Telephony Gateway was provided by your cable company, they already have
the required information.

About this Manual
This manual covers all of the different TG862 models. Your model may not have all
of the capabilities outlined in this manual. To determine which model you have,
check the model number. The model number is on the label affixed to the Telephony
Gateway. See the illustration at the left.
What About Security?
Having a high-speed, always-on connection to the nternet requires a certain
amount of responsibility to other nternet users—including the need to maintain a
reasonably secure system. While no system is 100% secure, you can use the fol-
lowing tips to enhance your system’s security:
• Keep your operating system updated with the latest security patches. Run
the system update utility at least weekly.
• Keep your email program updated with the latest security patches. n addi-
tion, avoid opening email containing attachments, or opening files sent
through chat rooms, whenever possible.
• nstall a virus checker and keep it updated.
• Avoid providing web or file-sharing services over your Telephony Gateway.
Besides certain vulnerability problems, most cable companies prohibit run-
ning servers on consumer-level accounts and may suspend your account for
violating your terms of service.
• Use the cable company’s mail servers for sending email.
• Avoid using proxy software unless you are certain that it is not open for
abuse by other nternet users (some are shipped open by default). Crimi-
nals can take advantage of open proxies to hide their identity when break-
ing into other computers or sending spam. f you have an open proxy, your
ca ble company may suspend your account to protect the rest of the net-
work.
• The TG862 ships with wireless LAN security set by default (for the same rea-
sons that you should run only secured proxies). See the security label on
your product (shown on image at the left) for the factory security settings.
f you need to modify the default wireless security settings, see Configuring
Your Wireless Connection.

Ethernet or Wireless?
There are two ways to connect your computer (or other equipment) to the Tele-
phony Gateway. The following will help you decide which is best for you:
Ethernet
Ethernet is a standard method of connecting two or more computers into a Local
Area Network (LAN). You can use the Ethernet connection if your computer has
built-in Ethernet hardware.
Note: To connect more than four computers to the TG862 through the Ether-
net ports, you need an Ethernet hub (available at computer retail ers).
The Telephony Gateway package comes with one 6-foot (1.9m) Ethernet cable (the
connectors look like wide telephone connectors); you can purchase more cables if
necessary at a computer retailer. f you are connecting the Telephony Gateway di-
rectly to a computer, or to an Ethernet hub with a cross-over switch, ask for Cate-
gory 5e (CAT5e) straight-through cable. CAT5e cable is required for gigabit Ethernet
(Gig-E), not regular CAT5 cable.
Wireless
Wireless access lets you connect additional (wireless-capable) devices to Telephony
Gateway. The 802.11 wireless LAN standard allows one or more computers to ac-
cess the TG862 using a wireless (radio) signal. These connections are in addition to
the connections supported via Ethernet.
Note: You can use the wireless connection if your computer has a built-in or af-
termarket wireless card. To learn more about which wireless hardware
works best with your com puter, see your computer dealer.
Both
f you have two or more computers, you can use Ethernet for up to four devices and
wireless for the others. To connect five or more computers to the Ethernet ports,
you will need an Ethernet hub (available at computer retailers.)

Installing and Connecting Your
Telephony Gateway
Before you start, make sure that:
• You have contacted your cable company and verified that they provide data
and telephone service using standard DOCS S technology.
• You have all the items you need.
• Cable, phone, and power outlets are available near the computer. f a cable
outlet is not conveniently located, your cable company can install a new one.
f you have ordered service, your cable company should configure the Telephony
Gateway automatically. You need only follow the instructions in this section to in-
stall and connect the Telephony Gateway.
CAUTION
Risk of equipment damage
Only qualified installation technicians should connect the Telephony
Gateway to house wiring. ncumbent telephone service must be physi-
cally disconnected at the outside interface box before making any
connections.

Selecting an Installation ocation
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a location to install your
Telephony Gateway:
• s an AC outlet available nearby? For best results, the outlet should not be
switched and should be close enough to the Telephony Gateway that exten-
sion cords are not required.
• s a cable jack available? For best performance, keep the number of split-
ters between the jack and cable drop to a minimum. Each splitter attenuates
(re duces) the signal available to the Telephony Gateway. A large number of
split ters can slow down the nternet connection and even affect your tele-
phone service.
• Can you easily run cables between the Telephony Gateway’s location and
the phones?
• f you are connecting devices to the Ethernet ports, can you easily run ca-
bles between the Telephony Gateway’s location and those devices?
• f you want to mount the Telephony Gateway on a wall, does the location
pro vide a solid surface for secure attachment? For best results when mount-
ing the Telephony Gateway on drywall, position the Telephony Gateway so
at least one of the screws are fastened to a stud. This may prevent the Tele-
phony Gateway from pulling out of the wall in the future.
• f you want to install the Telephony Gateway on a desktop, is there enough
space on either side to keep the vents clear? Blocking the vents may cause
overheating.
• How close are your wireless devices? The Telephony Gateway wireless con-
nection range is typically 100–200 feet (30m–65m). A number of factors
can affect connection range, as described below.

Factors Affecting Wireless Range
A number of factors can affect the usable range for wireless connections.
Note: Note that decreasing the range of your wireless network may be bene-
ficial, as long as the decreased range is sufficient for your needs. By lim-
iting your network’s range, you reduce interference with other networks
and make it harder for unwant ed users to find and connect to your net-
work.
Note: Setting the trasmit power level to High increases the range. Setting it
to Medium or Low decreases the range proportionately.
ncreases range: • Raising the unit above the devices (for example, in-
stalling the Telephony Gateway in the upper floor of a
multi-story dwelling)
Decreases range: • Lowering the unit below the devices (for example, in-
stalling the Telephony Gateway in a basement)
• Metal or concrete walls between the Telephony Gate-
way and other devices
• Large metal appliances, aquariums, or metal cabinets
between the Telephony Gateway and other devices
• nterference and RF noise (2.4 GHz wireless phones,
microwave ovens, or other wireless networks)
