Where Do I Place My Modem for Telephone Service?

If you are planning to use your modem for telephone service, you should work with your cable telephony provider

to choose the best location for your modem.

Where is the Best Location for My Modem?

When choosing a location for your modem, consider the following

recommendations:

• Choose a location close to your computer if you will also use the cable

modem for high-speed Internet service.

• Choose a location that is near an existing RF coaxial connection to eliminate

the need for an additional RF coaxial outlet.

• Choose a location for the cable modem that is adjacent to your telephone

equipment if you are using only one or two pieces of telephone equipment.

Note: If you are using the cable modem to provide service to several telephones,

a professional installer can connect the cable modem to your existing home

telephone wiring. To minimize changes to the home telephone wiring, you may

want to locate the cable modem near an existing telephone outlet. See How Do I

Install the Modem to Provide Telephone Service, later in this guide, for further

instructions.

• Choose a location that is relatively protected from accidental disturbance or

harm, such as a closet, basement, or other protected area.

• Choose a location so that there is plenty of room to guide the cables away

from the modem without straining or crimping them.

• Airflow around the cable modem should not be restricted.

• Read this user’s guide thoroughly before installing the cable modem.
