All Rights Reserved. Touchstone TG3492LG-LIB Telephony Gateway User Guide 14 Chapter 3: Getting Started system. While no system is 100% secure, you can use the following tips to enhance your systems 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 service providers prohibit running servers on consumer-level accounts and may suspend your account for violating your terms of service. Use the service providers 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 TG3492LG-LIB 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 (page 22). 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 TG3492LG-LIB through the Ethernet ports, you need an Ethernet hub (available at computer retailers). Release 34 DRAFT 1.1 January 2018 2018 ARRIS Enterprises LLC. All Rights Reserved. Touchstone TG3492LG-LIB Telephony Gateway User Guide 15 Chapter 3: Getting Started 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 6 (CAT6) straight-through cable. CAT6 cable is required for best Ethernet performance. Regular CAT5 or CAT5e cable may not allow full-speed Ethernet operation. 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 TG3492LG-LIB 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. Both 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 1.1 January 2018 2018 ARRIS Enterprises LLC. All Rights Reserved. Touchstone TG3492LG-LIB Telephony Gateway User Guide 16 Chapter 4 Installing and Connecting your Telephony Gateway Before you start, make sure that:
You have contacted your service provider and verified that they provide data and telephone service using standard DOCSIS technology. You have all the Items You Need (page 11).

Selecting an Installation Location There are a number of factors to consider when choosing a location to install your Telephony Gateway:
Release 34 DRAFT 1.1 January 2018 2018 ARRIS Enterprises LLC. All Rights Reserved. Touchstone TG3492LG-LIB Telephony Gateway User Guide 19 Chapter 4: Installing and Connecting 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 Gateways location and the phones?
If you are connecting devices to the Ethernet ports, can you easily run cables between the Telephony Gateways 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 100200 feet (30m65m). A number of factors can affect connection range, as described below. Desktop Mounting Instructions it stands vertically on its base (Do not lay it flat on its side.) 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 networks range, you reduce interference with other networks and make it harder for unwanted users to find and connect to your network.

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. Release 34 DRAFT 1.1 January 2018 2018 ARRIS Enterprises LLC. All Rights Reserved. Touchstone TG3492LG-LIB Telephony Gateway User Guide 36 1. Is the ATMOS LED lit?
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 Internet 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 LED lit?
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 dont 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 cable company or a qualified wiring technician to correct the house wiring. If you still do not have dial tone, contact your service provider.
