SOMAport Setup Guide
Connection options for telephones
If you subscribe to or intend to subscribe to telephone service via the SOMAport,
you can connect telephones to the SOMAport in two ways. You can:
Connect the telephone directly to the SOMAport by plugging it into one of
the telephone jacks on the back of the SOMAport.
Use your in-building telephone wiring to connect telephones to the
SOMAport.
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 can be placed close enough to allow
direct connections to all of them, as shown below.
