Telephone
When installed with the Hills HTM-408S or HTM-408SRJ telephone modules, the Hills
Home Hub becomes the heart of your telecommunications needs for both now and the
future. Each module allows up to 4 incoming telephone lines to be connected to your home
and directed to up to 8 room service locations.
Supporting the distribution of voice, fax, modem and other digital telephone services such
as ISDN or DSL. It also connects (optionally) to the Hills Home Security System controller,
giving priority to the security system over all other services in the event of an unauthorised
entry or tampering of the Hills Home Security System. Phone services are delivered to the
specified locations in your home through the use of specially configured Hills wall plates.
Data
Companies have long enjoyed the benefits of sharing resources and improving
communications by networking computers and peripherals together. The Hills HDM-808
Data / Patch Panel prepares your home for this technology by providing data connections
to specially configured Hills wall plates around your home via the Hills Home Wiring
network and the Hills Home Hub.
At this point your home has now been pre-wired for data communications to utilise the
data outlets in your home. If you have requested structured cabling for data, then a
HES-108 Hills Ethernet Hub will be installed in your Hills Home Hub. It is capable of
connecting up to eight pre-wired service outlet locations as a Local Area Network and you
are now ready to take advantage of networked high speed internet and resource sharing
throughout your home.
Remember to consult your installer about connecting your computers to the Hills Home
Data network, as your computers will need to be configured to maximise the benefits.
Contact your telecommunications provider and Internet Service Provider for
telecommunications services and Internet access (fees will apply).
