Selecting an Installation Location

There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a location to install your

Telephony Gateway:

• Is 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.

• Is 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 Internet connection and even affect your tele-

phone service.

• Can you easily run cables between the Telephony Gateway’s location and

the phones?

• If you are connecting devices to the Ethernet ports, can you easily run ca-

bles between the Telephony Gateway’s location and those devices?

• If 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.

• If 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.
