5 Telephony
5.1 Connecting a Regular Phone to Your Thomson Gateway
Procedure
Use a phone cable with RJ-11 connectors to:
1 Wire the green Thomson Gateway Phone port(s) to your phone(s) or fax.
2 If your Thomson Gateway has a black port labelled PSTN, you must connect this port to the telephone
output of your DSL filter or splitter to allow analogue phone calls with the same telephone set that you
use for VoIP calls.
If this is not the case, no additional connections are needed.
3 If you configured your Thomson Gateway using the Guided Installation, the telephony service will
already be configured by the Setup wizard. Your phone is now ready for use.
If you choose to configure your Thomson Gateway manually or you still need to configure the telephony
service, continue with “5.4 Configuring the Telephony Service” on page 33.
This is only required if you still want to make phone calls using the analogue telephone line.
Be aware that, if the PSTN port (if provided) is not wired to your telephone wall outlet,
distributed filter or splitter, emergency calls are not always possible!
As distributed filters are country-specific, you cannot use the device everywhere.
