Chapter 3: Getting Started
Telephony Gateway package: see What’s in the Box? (page 10) for a list of items in the
package.
Coaxial cable (coax): This is a round cable with a connector on each end. It is the same kind
of wire used to connect 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 nearest cable outlet.
Phone Cable: 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 single outlet into two.
You may need a splitter if you have a TV already connected 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.
Information packet: your cable company should furnish you with a packet containing
information about your service and how to set it up. Read this information carefully and contact
your cable company if you have any questions.

Chapter 3: Getting Started
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 following information ready:
the Telephony Gateway serial number and cable MAC addresses of the unit (printed on the
Telephony Gateway)
the model number of the Telephony Gateway (printed on 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 download 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?
System Requirements
The Touchstone Telephony Gateway operates with most computers. The following describes
requirements for each operating system; see the documentation for your system for details on
enabling and configuring networking.
To use the Telephony Gateway, you need DOCSIS high-speed Internet service from your cable
company. Telephone service requires that the cable company has PacketCable support.
Recommended Hardware
The following hardware configuration is recommended. Computers not meeting this configuration
can still work with the TG2472, but may not be able to make maximum use of TG2472 throughput.
CPU: P4, 3GHz or faster
RAM: 1GB or greater
Hard drive: 7200 RPM or faster
Ethernet: Gig-E (1000BaseT)
Windows
Windows XP , Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. A supported Ethernet or wireless LAN
connection must be available.
MacOS
System 7.5 to MacOS 9.2 (Open Transport recommended) or MacOS X. A supported Ethernet or
wireless LAN connection must be available.

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 following tips to enhance your system’s security:
Keep the operating system of your computer 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 addition, 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 running servers on consumer-level
accounts and may suspend your account for violating your terms of service.

Chapter 3: Getting Started
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). Criminals can take advantage of open proxies to hide
their identity when breaking into other computers or sending spam. If you have an open proxy,
your cable company may suspend your account to protect the rest of the network.
The TG2472 ships with wireless LAN security set by default (for the same reasons that you
should run only secured proxies). See the security label on your product for the factory security
settings. If 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 Telephony 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 TG2472 through the Ethernet ports, you
need an Ethernet hub (available at computer retailers).
The Telephony Gateway package comes with one 4-foot (1.2m) Ethernet cable (the connectors look
like wide telephone connectors); you can purchase more cables if necessary at a computer retailer. If
you are connecting the Telephony Gateway directly to a computer, or to an Ethernet hub with a
cross-over switch, ask for Category 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 access the TG2472 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 aftermarket
plug-in wireless adapter. To learn more about which wireless hardware works best with your
computer, see your computer dealer.

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 extension cords are not required.
Is a cable jack available? For best performance, keep the number of splitters between the jack
and cable drop to a minimum. Each splitter attenuates (reduces) the signal available to the
Telephony Gateway. A large number of splitters can slow down the Internet connection and even
affect your telephone service.

Chapter 5: Installing and Connecting your Telephony Gateway
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 cables between the
Telephony Gateway’s location and those devices?
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 connection range is
typically 100–200 feet (30m–65m). A number of factors can affect connection range, as
described below.
Desktop Mounting Instructions
Position the Telephony Gateway so that:
air flows freely around it
the back faces the nearest wall
it will not fall to the floor if bumped or moved
the ventilation holes on the sides of the unit are not blocked
Factors Affecting Wireless Range
A number of factors can affect the usable range for wireless connections.
Increases range Raising the unit above the devices (for example, installing the
Telephony Gateway in the upper floor of a multi-story dwelling)
Adding a wireless extender to the network
Decreases range Lowering the unit below the devices (for example, installing the
Telephony Gateway in a basement)
Metal or concrete walls between the Telephony Gateway and other
devices
Large metal appliances, aquariums, or metal cabinets between the
Telephony Gateway and other devices
Interference and RF noise (2.4 GHz wireless phones, microwave
ovens, or other wireless networks)
Note: Note that decreasing the range of your wireless network may be beneficial, as long as
the decreased range is sufficient for your needs. By limiting your network’s range, you reduce
interference with other networks and make it harder for unwanted users to find and connect to your
network.
Note: Setting the transmit power level to High increases the range. Setting it to Medium or
Low decreases the range proportionately.

Chapter 5: Installing and Connecting your Telephony Gateway
Connecting the Telephony Gateway to the home’s existing telephone wiring should only be
performed by a professional installer. Physical connections to the previous telephone provider must
be removed and the wiring must be checked; there must not be any voltage. Cancelation of telephone
service is not adequate. Failure to do so may result in loss of service and/or permanent damage to
the Telephony Gateway.
1. Connect one end of the coax cable to the cable outlet or splitter, and the other end to the
Telephony Gateway’s Cable connector (6). Tighten the connections by hand, then tighten an
additional 1/8 turn with a wrench.
Note: For best performance, use high-quality coax cable and minimize or eliminate
splitters between the cable jack and the Telephony Gateway. If you are using MoCA for your
home network, MoCA filters must be installed on any legacy client devices. Your cable company
will install these filters for you.
2. Insert the plug from the power cord into the Power connector on the back of the Telephony
Gateway (7) and insert the power cord into a convenient AC outlet.
The Power light on the front of the Telephony Gateway lights up, then flashes once (refer to the
LED tables shown in Using the Telephony Gateway). See Troubleshooting (page 37) if the Power
light does not turn on.
3. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to any Ethernet port on the back of the Telephony
Gateway, (5) and the other end to the Ethernet port on a computer, hub, or broadband router.
Note: If you are connecting to a computer, use the Ethernet cable included in the
Telephony Gateway package.

Wiring Problems
If the Telephony Gateway begins flashing all its lights for more than 10 seconds, this indicates a
problem with the telephone wiring — the red and green wires may be shorted (touching), or there
may be undesired voltage on the lines. If this pattern persists for more than 10 seconds, disconnect
the telephone lines from the Telephony Gateway, then call a wiring technician for assistance.

Troubleshooting
The Telephony Gateway is plugged in, but the Power light is Off
Check all power connections. Is the power cord plugged in firmly at both ends?
If you plugged the power cord into a power strip, make sure the strip is switched on.
Avoid using an outlet controlled by a wall switch, if possible.
Finally, check the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
I'm not getting on the Internet (all connections)
It may take over 30 minutes to establish a connection the first time you power up your Telephony
Gateway, especially when many people are online. Always leave your Telephony Gateway plugged
into AC power and connected to the cable system.
Check the front panel lights:
The Power and Online lights should be on.
If the Power light blinks for more than 30 minutes, call your cable company for assistance.
Check your cable connections. Connectors should be tight. The coax cable should not be pinched,
kinked, or bent sharply—any of these can cause a break or short in the cable (you may have to replace
the cable). If you have one or more splitters between the Telephony Gateway and CATV outlet,
remove the splitters and connect the Telephony Gateway directly to the outlet.
Proceed to the Ethernet or wireless solutions if necessary.
I'm not getting on the Internet (Ethernet)
If you are using a hub, is the hub turned on?
Are you using the right type of Ethernet cable? Use the supplied cable for direct connection to a
computer; use a cross-over cable for connection to a hub.
Press the Reset button on the back of the Telephony Gateway.
A misconfiguration could lock out all access to the Telephony Gateway router. If you think this has
happened, see Resetting the Router to Factory Defaults (page 36).
I'm not getting on the Internet (Wireless)
Check the indicator lights, see Using the Telephony Gateway (page 32) — the Wi-Fi light should be
on.
Does your connection utility discover your wireless LAN? If you turned off “Broadcast SSID” you
need to manually enter the name of your wireless LAN in the connection utility.

Change your security mode to “disabled”. Enable one of the other security modes as soon as you find
the problem.
A misconfiguration could lock out all access to the Telephony Gateway router. If you think this has
happened, see Resetting the Router to Factory Defaults (page 36).
My wireless Internet connection stops working sometimes
This is usually caused by interference. Two common sources are 2.4GHz “remote” telephones and
microwave ovens. If you cannot remove the interfering product, try using a different channel or
setting Protected Mode.
I can get on the Internet, but everything is slow
If the Web site you are visiting is very popular, that site may be having trouble servicing all the
requests. If other sites download quickly, wait for a few minutes and try again. Usage during peak
hours may also affect the connection speed.
Other communications on the LAN, or interference with wireless connections, may slow down your
connection.
I don't have a dial tone when I pick up the phone - why?
In order for telephone service to be functional on the Telephony Gateway, telephone service must
have been purchased from the service provider and configured on your Telephony Gateway. The
following steps should help in identifying the source of the problem.
1. Is the Power LED lit?
x If not, check to make sure the Telephony Gateway is plugged in and the outlet has power.
x If the LED is lit, go to the next step.
2. Is the Online LED lit?
x If not, check the coax connection at the Telephony Gateway and the wall. Ensure they are
connected and tight. If they are and you do not have dial tone, contact your service provider.
x If the Online LED is lit, go to the next step.
3. Is the Telephone (Tel 1 or Tel 2) LED lit?
x If not, phone service has not been set up on that line. Contact your service provider.
x If it is blinking, there is a phone off hook somewhere in the house. Find that phone and hang
it up.
x If it is lit, go to the next step.
4. Is the phone plugged directly into the Telephony Gateway?
x Make sure the phone is plugged into the port on the back of the Telephony Gateway labeled
“Tel 1” for line 1, and “Tel 2” for line 2.
x If so, try a different phone. Make sure the new phone is a working phone.
x If a known good phone is used and you still don’t have dial tone, try a different phone cable.
If a new phone and cable do not restore dial tone, call your service provider.
5. Is the Telephony Gateway plugged into a wall outlet?
