Chapter 2 Installing the DOCSIS Wireless Residential Voice Gateway
Where Is the Best Location for My Wireless Residential Voice Gateway?
The ideal location for your residential gateway is where it has access to outlets and
other devices. Think about the layout of your home or office, and consult with your
service provider to select the best location for your residential gateway. Read this
user guide thoroughly before you decide where to place your residential gateway.
Consider these recommendations:
Choose a location close to your computer if you will also use the residential
gateway for high-speed Internet service.
Choose a location that is near an existing RF coaxial connection to eliminate the
need for an additional RF coaxial outlet.
Choose a location that is relatively protected from accidental disturbance or
harm, such as a basement or other protected area.
Choose a location so that there is plenty of room to guide the cables away from
the residential gateway without straining or crimping them.
Choose a location that allows adequate ventilation around the residential
gateway.
Choose a location for the residential gateway that is adjacent to your telephone
equipment if you plan on connecting your phone directly to the residential
gateway.
Note: If you are using the residential gateway to provide service to several
telephones, a professional installer can connect the residential gateway to your
existing home telephone wiring.
