Touchstone TG3452 Telephony Gateway User Guide 11 Chapter 3: Getting Started 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 service provider should furnish you with a packet containing information about your service and how to set it up. Read this information carefully and contact your service provider if you have any questions. Getting Service AF Before trying to use your new Telephony Gateway, contact your local service provider 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 service provider, they already have the required information. In addition, you should ask your service provider 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 service provider. Telephone service requires that the service provider has PacketCable support.

The model number is on the label affixed to the Telephony Gateway. 1. Model number 2. Security label 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. Release 34 DRAFT 1.6 June 2017 © 2017 ARRIS Enterprises LLC. All Rights Reserved. Touchstone TG3452 Telephony Gateway User Guide 14 Chapter 3: Getting Started 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. Use the service provider’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 service provider may suspend your account to protect the rest of the network. The TG3452 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. AF Ethernet or Wireless? Ethernet 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 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 TG3452 through the Ethernet ports, you need an Ethernet hub (available at computer retailers). Release 34 DRAFT 1.6 June 2017 © 2017 ARRIS Enterprises LLC. All Rights Reserved. Touchstone TG3452 Telephony Gateway User Guide 15 Chapter 3: Getting Started Wireless AF 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 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 TG3452 using a wireless (radio) signal. These connections are in addition to the connections supported via Ethernet. Both 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. If 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.) Release 34 DRAFT 1.6 June 2017 © 2017 ARRIS Enterprises LLC.

Touchstone TG3452 Telephony Gateway User Guide 19 Chapter 4: Installing and Connecting your Telephony Gateway Selecting an Installation Location AF 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. 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: it stands vertically on its base (Do not lay it flat on its side.) 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 Decreases 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 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) Release 34 DRAFT 1.6 June 2017 © 2017 ARRIS Enterprises LLC. All Rights Reserved. Touchstone TG3452 Telephony Gateway User Guide 20 Chapter 4: Installing and Connecting your Telephony Gateway Note: Note that decreasing the range of your wireless network may be beneficial, as long as the decreased range is sufficient for your needs.

If you think this has happened, see Resetting the Router to Factory Defaults (page 36). AF 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 the 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? Release 34 DRAFT 1.6 June 2017 © 2017 ARRIS Enterprises LLC. All Rights Reserved. Touchstone TG3452 Telephony Gateway User Guide 38 Chapter 7: Troubleshooting • If not, check to make sure the Telephony Gateway is plugged in and the outlet has power. Use only the external AC power adapter (if provided) and power cord included with the equipment. • If the LED is lit, go to the next step. 2. Is the Online LED lit? • 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. • If the Online LED is lit, go to the next step. 3. Is the Telephone (Tel 1 or Tel 2) LED lit? • • • AF If not, phone service has not been set up on that line. Contact your service provider. If it is blinking, there is a phone off hook somewhere in the house. Find that phone and hang it up. • If it is lit, go to the next step. 4. Is the phone plugged directly into the Telephony Gateway? 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. • If so, try a different phone. Make sure the new phone is a working phone. • 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? If so, unplug the phone connector at the back of the Telephony Gateway and plug in a known working phone. If you now have dial tone, the problem is with the house wiring. Contact your service provider or a qualified wiring technician to correct the house wiring. If you still do not have dial tone, contact your service provider. • Release 34 DRAFT 1.6 June 2017 © 2017 ARRIS Enterprises LLC. All Rights Reserved.
