Connecting a Telephone/Fax Machine/Dial-up Modem
Connecting a phone, fax machine, or dial-up modem in your home with a Hills Home Hub
and structured cabling is very simple.
Just locate an RJ-45 socket labelled “Phone”:
Phone 3
RJ-45 Socket for
Phone/Fax
And plug in your phone, fax machine, or dial-up modem. It’s that easy!
If your wall plates are not labelled try looking for the floor plan to identify which socket is
for phone.
If you can’t locate a floor plan then you can try plugging your phone into a RJ45 socket
and testing whether it works by dialling out. If not, try another socket.
Note
Just make sure you do not connect more equipment than your home supports. Otherwise
your equipment may stop working. This is determined by your REN. Read the Technical
Terms section titled “REN and RN – Ringer Equivalence Number” for more information.
