Installing the SOMAport 140

Connection options for telephone equipment

There are two ways to connect telephone equipment (phones, fax machines,

dial-up modems) to the SOMAport 140. You can:



Plug the telephone device directly into the SOMAport 140



Connect the SOMAport 140 to your in-building telephone wiring

Because the SOMAport 140 has more than one phone jack, you can use both

methods, connecting some devices directly to the SOMAport 140 and using

one of the SOMAport 140’s phone jacks to connect it to the in-building wiring.

Direct connections

You can use this method if the telephone and computer devices in your home

or office are near each other and the SOMAport 140 can be placed close

enough to allow direct connections to all of them, as shown in the following

example.

See page 25 for more information about directly connecting telephone

equipment to the SOMAport 140.
