Items You Need

If 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. It 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.

Note: For best performance, use high-quality RG-6 type coax cable and mini-

mize or eliminate splitters between the cable jack and the Telephony Gateway.

•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

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.

•Ethernet Cable(s): as shown in the image to the left, this is a Category 5e

(CAT5e) straight-through cable for connecting computers to the Gateway.

Phone Cable

•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 Instructions 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. 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 Internet 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

If the Telephony Gateway was provided by your cable company, they already have

the required information.

In addition, you should ask your cable company the following questions:

• Do you have any special system requirements or ﬁles that I need to down-

load after I am connected?

• When can I start using my Telephony Gateway?

• Do I need a user ID or password to access the Internet or my e-mail?

• Will my phone number(s) change?

• What new calling features will I have and how do I use them?

About this Manual

This manual covers the Touchstone TG852 Telephony Gateway. The model number

is on the label afﬁxed to the bottom of the Telephony Gateway. See the image at

the left.

What About Security?

Having a high-speed, always-on connection to the Internet requires a certain

amount of responsibility to other Internet 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. In addi-

tion, avoid opening email containing attachments, or opening ﬁles sent

through chat rooms, whenever possible.

• Install 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 Internet 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. If you have an open proxy, your

ca ble company may suspend your account to protect the rest of the net-

work.

• If you use the wireless LAN, make sure you enable wireless security on the

Telephony Gateway (for the same reasons that you should run only secured

proxies). See Conﬁguring Your Wireless Connection.
