Overview
DECT base station
The integrated DECT base station allows you to connect your DECT phones to the Technicolor Gateway. This way you will
be able to make phone calls over the Internet and save on communication costs, especially for long-distance calls.
Phone Port
The Phone ( ) port allows you to connect a traditional phone to your Technicolor Gateway. This way you will be able to
make phone calls over the Internet and save on communication costs, especially for long-distance calls.
For more information, see “6.1 Setting Up Your Telephone Network” on page 70.
PSTN Port (optional)
The PSTN port allows you to connect the Technicolor Gateway to the traditional telephone network, i.e. the Public
Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). When the VoIP connection is not available, the Technicolor Gateway will
automatically switch from VoIP to the traditional telephone network.
For more information, see “6.1.2 Connection to the Traditional Telephone Network” on page 72.
If your Technicolor Gateway does not have a PSTN port, this means that:
Your Technicolor Gateways has an integrated filter
The Technicolor Gateway separates the phone signal from the signal coming from the DSL port. Your Technicolor
Gateway has an integrated filter if the product name printed on the label of your Technicolor Gateway ends with
“wIF” (with Integrated Filter). If this suffix is not present, then your Technicolor Gateway does not have an
integrated filter.
- or -
Your Technicolor Gateway is VoIP-only
All calls passing through the Technicolor Gateway will be done via VoIP.
Be aware that, if you are not connected to the traditional telephone network, emergency calls will not be possible
when your Internet connection is down or your Technicolor Gateway is powered off.
