Items You Need

If you are installing the Telephony Modem yourself, make sure you have the fol-
lowing items on hand before continuing:
• Telephony modem package: see What’s in the Box? for a list of items in
Coax Cable the package.
• Coaxial cable (coax): as shown in the image to the left, this is a thin cable
with a connector on each end. It is the same kind of wire used to connect to
your television for cable TV. You can buy coax from any electronics retailer
and many discount stores; make sure it has connectors on both ends. There
are two types of connectors, slip-on and screw-on; the screw-on connectors
are best for use with your Telephony Modem. The coax should be long
enough to reach from your Telephony Modem to the nearest cable outlet.
Note: For best performance, use high-quality RG-6 type coax cable and mini-
mize or eliminate splitters between the cable jack and the Telephony Modem.
• Phone Cable: as shown in the image to the left, this is a standard phone
cable with standard phone connectors (RJ11 type) on both ends. You can
buy phone cables from any electronics retailer and many discount stores.
• Splitter (optional): provides an extra cable connection by splitting a sin-
gle outlet into two. You may need a splitter if you have a TV already con-
nected to the cable outlet that you want to use. You can buy a splitter from
Phone Cable any electronics retailer and most discount stores; you may also need a short
piece of coax cable (with connectors); use it to connect the splitter to the
cable outlet and then connect the Telephony Modem and TV to the splitter.

Touchstone TM722 Telephony Modem User’s Guide 9

 Getting Battery USB Ethernet
Safety Started Installation Installation Drivers Configuration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary

Note: A splitter effectively cuts the signal in half and sends each half to its
two outputs. Using several splitters in a line may deteriorate the quality of
your television, telephone, and/or internet connection.
• Wall-mount hardware (optional): if you want to wall-mount your Tele-
phony Modem, you need to obtain two drywall anchors or wood screws. See
the Wall-Mount Template and Instructions for more details.
• Information packet: your cable company should furnish you with a packet
containing information about your service and how to set it up. Read this in-
formation carefully and contact your cable company if you have any ques-
tions.

to establish an Internet account and telephone service. When you call, have the
following information ready:
• the Telephony Modem serial number and MAC addresses of the unit (printed
on a sticker on the bottom of the Telephony Modem)
• the model number of the Telephony Modem

Save this information for future use. In addition, you should ask your cable com-
pany the following questions:
• Do you have any special system requirements or files that I need to down-
load after I am connected?
• When can I start using my Telephony Modem?
• Do I need a user ID or password to access the Internet or my e-mail?
• Will my phone number(s) change?

About this Manual

This manual covers all of the different TM722 models. Your model may not have all
of the capabilities outlined in this manual. To determine which model you have pur-
chased, refer to the image at the left. The model number is on the label affixed to
the Telephony Modem.

Ethernet or USB?
Model There are two ways to connect your computer (or other equipment) to the Tele-
Number phony Modem. The following will help you decide which is best for you:

Ethernet

Ethernet is a standard method of connecting two or more devices into a Local Area
Network (LAN). Use the Ethernet connection if your computer has built-in Ethernet
hardware, does not use Windows, or you want to share the Telephony Modem con-
nection with several computers.

Note: To connect two or more computers to the Ethernet port, you will need a
hub or broadband router (available at computer retailers).

The Telephony Modem package comes with a 6-foot (1.9m) Ethernet cable (the
connectors look like wide telephone connectors); you can purchase more cables if
necessary at a computer retailer. If you are connecting the Telephony Modem
directly to a computer, or to an Ethernet hub or broadband router with a cross-over
switch, ask for Category 5 (CAT5) straight-through cable. If you are connecting the
Telephony Modem to an Ethernet hub or broadband router without a crossover
switch, ask for a Category 5 crossover cable.

USB

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is meant for connecting a variety of accessories, such as
keyboards, mice, printers, and communications devices (including Telephony
Modems) to a single computer. Use the USB connection if you have only one com-
puter, and the computer is using a Windows operating system (Windows 2000 or
later), and has no built-in Ethernet hardware. Telephony Modems with USB ports
include a 5-foot (1.6m) USB cable.

Ethernet Cable USB Cable

 Getting Battery USB Ethernet
Safety Started Installation Installation Drivers Configuration Usage Troubleshooting Glossary

Both

If you have two or more computers, you can connect one computer to the Tele-
phony Modem’s USB port and one or more other computers to the Ethernet port.
To connect two or more computers to the Ethernet port, you will need a hub or
broadband router (available at computer retailers).

What About Security?

Having a high-speed, always-on connection to the Internet requires a certain
amount of responsibility to other Internet users—including the need to maintain a
reasonably secure system. While no system is 100% secure, you can use the fol-
lowing tips to enhance your system’s security:
• Keep your operating system updated with the latest security patches. Run
the system update utility at least weekly.
• Keep your email program updated with the latest security patches. In addi-
tion, avoid opening email containing attachments, or opening files sent
through chat rooms, whenever possible.
• Install a virus checker and keep it updated.
• Avoid providing web or file-sharing services over your Telephony Modem.
Besides certain vulnerability problems, most cable companies prohibit run-
ning servers on consumer-level accounts and may suspend your account for
violating your terms of service.
• Use the cable company’s mail servers for sending email.
• Avoid using proxy software unless you are certain that it is not open for
abuse by other Internet users (some are shipped open by default). Crimi-
nals can take advantage of open proxies to hide their identity when break-
ing into other computers or sending spam. If you have an open proxy, your
cable company may suspend your account to protect the rest of the net-
work.
• If you connect your Telephony Modem to a wireless LAN, make sure you
enable security and encryption on the wireless hub (for the same reasons
that you should run only secured proxies). Consult the documentation and
technical support of the wireless equipment provider for help.

You can either mount the Telephony Modem on a wall or place it on a desktop. For
wall-mount applications, you can mount the Telephony Modem with the indicators
facing upward (vertical) or to the side (horizontal).

Tools and Materials

For wall-mounted installations, make sure you have the following tools and mate-
rials before proceeding:
• for mounting on drywall: Two 1/4” (6mm) drywall anchors and a drill with
1/4” (6mm) bit (not included)
• for mounting on plywood or studs: two #6 x 1.5” (38.1 mm) self tapping
screws (not included)
• screwdriver (flat-blade or Phillips, depending on what kind of screws you
use)
• wall-mount template (included with the Telephony Modem Quick Installa-
tion Guide)
• transparent tape: for temporarily securing the mounting template to the wall
(not included)

Location

Always position the Telephony Modem:

• within reach of an AC outlet. The power cord must reach the outlet without
stretching and without adding extension cords.
• near a cable outlet (to avoid long cable runs).

Instructions
Wall-mounting instructions

Note: When mounting the Telephony Modem on drywall, try to position the
Telephony Modem so at least one of the screws are fastened to a stud.
This may prevent the Telephony Modem from pulling out of the wall in
the future. To prevent overheating of the Telephony Modem, do not block
Step 1 Step 2 the ventilation holes on the sides of the unit.
1 Position the mounting template on the surface where you intend to mount
the Telephony Modem and secure in place with transparent tape.
2 Drill holes through the template in the specified locations for the mounting
screws. After drilling holes, remove the template from the surface.
3 If using drywall anchors, set them into the wall. Then, drive the screws into
the wall leaving a gap of about 1/8” (3 mm) between the screw head and
the wall. If not using anchors, just drive the screws.
4 Orient the Telephony Modem with the indicator lights facing up or right, as
Step 3 Step 4 desired. Slip both mounting slots (in the back of the Telephony Modem) over
the screws, then slide the case down until the narrow end of the keyhole slot
contacts the screw shaft.
5 Proceed to Connecting the Telephony Modem.

Desktop mounting instructions

1 Position the Telephony Modem so that:
• air flows freely around it
• the back faces the nearest wall
• it will not fall to the floor if bumped or moved
• the ventilation holes on the side of the unit are not blocked

Reset Button Using the Reset Button

Power Switch Use the Reset button, on the back of the Telephony Modem, to reset the modem
as if you power cycled the unit. You may need to reset the Telephony Modem if you
are having problems connecting to the Internet. Using this button will be rare.

Use a pointed non-metallic object to press this button. The photo to the left shows
the location of the Reset button. The Reset button is recessed to prevent acci-
dental resets.

TM722S Model TM722S only: The rear panel power switch can also be used to power cycle
the unit.

TM722G
Booting from Battery
The TM722G supports a “Boot from Battery” feature that allows the Telephony
Modem to begin service without AC power.

To start the TM722G from its battery, follow these steps:

1 If a battery is already installed in the Telephony Modem, remove it.
2 Re-insert the battery into the Telephony Modem (see Battery Installation
and Replacement (TM722G Only) for details).

Troubleshooting
The Telephony modem is plugged in, but the Power light is off.

Check all power connections. Is the power cord plugged in firmly at both
ends?

Model TM722S only: Is the rear panel power switch in the ON position?

If you plugged the power cord into a power strip, make sure the strip is
switched on.

Avoid using an outlet controlled by a wall switch, if possible.

Check the outlet by plugging in another device (such as a lamp).

Finally, check the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

I’m not getting on the Internet.

It may take over 30 minutes to establish a connection the first time you
power up your Telephony Modem, especially when many people are online.
Always leave your Telephony Modem plugged into AC power and connected
to the cable system.

Check the front panel lights:

• The Power and Online lights should be on.
• The Link light should be either on or blinking.
• If the Power light blinks for more than 30 minutes, call your cable com-
pany for assistance.

Check your cable connections. Connectors should be finger-tight. The coax

cable should not be pinched, kinked, or bent sharply—any of these can cause
a break or short in the cable (you may have to replace the cable). If you
have one or more splitters between the Telephony Modem and CATV outlet,
remove the splitters and connect the Telephony Modem directly to the out-
let.

Proceed to the Ethernet or USB solutions (next page) if necessary.

I’m not getting on the Internet. (Ethernet)

If you are using a hub, is the hub turned on?

Are you using the right type of Ethernet cable? Use the supplied cable for
direct connection to a computer; use a cross-over cable for connection to a
hub or home router.

Press the Reset button on the back of the Telephony Modem.

I’m not getting on the Internet. (USB)

Did you load the USB drivers?

If you are using a powered USB hub, is the hub turned on?

Check the USB cable connections. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable.

Restart the computer.

Press the Reset button on the back of the Telephony Modem.

I can get on the Internet, but everything is slow.

If the Web site you are visiting is very popular, that site may be having trou-
ble servicing all the requests. If other sites download quickly, wait for a few
minutes and try again. Usage during peak hours may also affect the con-
nection speed.

If your Telephony Modem is connected to a LAN (Local Area Network), either

directly or through a firewall, other communications on the LAN may slow
down your connection.

To test your network speed, try an online test such as

http://reviews.cnet.com/Bandwidth_meter/7004-7254_7-0.html

I have two computers connected to the Telephony Modem, but only one
can get on the Internet.

Check your cable company’s terms of service: they may allow only one com-
puter to connect directly to the Telephony Modem.

I don’t have dial tone when I pick up my phone, why?

In order for telephone service to be functional on the Telephony Modem,

telephone service must have been purchased from the service provider and
configured on your Telephony Modem. The following steps should help in
identifying the source of the problem.
• Is the Power LED lit?
If not, check to make sure the Telephony Modem is plugged in and the
outlet has power.
If the LED is lit, go to the next step.
• Is the Online LED lit?
If not, check the coax connection at the Telephony Modem and the wall.
Ensure they are connected and tight. If they are and you do not have dial
tone, contact your service provider.
If the Online LED is lit, go to the next step.
• Is the Telephone (Telephone 1 or Telephone 2) LED lit?
If not, phone service has not been provisioned on that line. Contact your
service provider.
If it is blinking, there is a phone off hook somewhere in the house. Find
that phone and hang it up.
If it is lit, go to the next step
• Is the phone plugged directly into the Telephony Modem?
Make sure the phone is plugged into the port on the back of the Tele-
phony Modem labeled “Tel 1/2” for line 1, and “Tel 2” for line 2.
If so, try a different phone. Make sure the new phone is a working phone.
If a known good phone is used and you still don’t have dial tone, try a
different phone cable. If a new phone and cable do not restore dial tone,
call your service provider.

• Is the Telephony Modem plugged into a wall outlet?

If so, unplug the RJ-11 connector at the back of the Telephony Port and
plug in a known working phone. If you now have dial tone, the problem
is with the house wiring. Contact your MSO or a qualified wiring techni-
cian to correct the house wiring. If you still do not have dial tone, con-
tact your service provider.

The following is a list of common cable and networking terms.

A/B Cable
A USB cable that has a narrow rectangular connector on one end (A) and a
notched square connector (B) on the other end.

Amp-hour (Ah)
A measure of battery capacity. For example, a 1.0Ah battery can nominally
supply one Ampere of current for one hour.

Category 5 (Cat5)
A high-quality type of cable, used for Fast Ethernet (100BaseT) connections.
When purchasing Ethernet cables, always look for Category 5 cable.

Coaxial cable (coax)

A thin wire, used to connect your television and Telephony Modem to the
cable TV system. You can buy coax from any electronics retailer and many
discount stores.

CPE
Customer Premise Equipment. This is the equipment that is plugged in to the
telephony modem; typically a computer, hub, or router.

Cross-over
An Ethernet cable used to connect two hubs (or a hub and a cable modem)
together. Also, some Ethernet hubs may have built-in cross-over on one or
more ports (which eliminates the need for a cross-over cable).

DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. An IP protocol used to provide an IP
address and location of services (such as DNS and TFTP) needed by a device
connecting to the network. DHCP allows the cable company to configure your
computer’s networking software for you.

site) and a client (your browser), providing a way to relieve some of the
burden from the server. For example, your cable company may have a web
proxy that keeps copies of popular web pages; the proxy can send you those
pages instead of fetching them directly from the web site, resulting in faster
page loading and less network congestion.

RF
Abbreviation for Radio Frequency. Some literature refers to coax as “RF
cable” and the connectors as “RF connectors.”

RJ-11
A standard 4-pin modular connector, commonly used in North America for
connecting telephones.

RJ-45
A standard 6-pin modular connector, commonly used on Ethernet cable. An
RJ-45 connector looks like a wide RJ-11 (telephone) connector.

Splitter
A small box with three cable connectors: one input and two outputs. You
may need a splitter if you have a TV already connected to the cable outlet
that you want to use for your Telephony Modem. You can buy a splitter from
any electronics retailer and most discount stores.

Switched outlet
A power outlet that may be turned on and off using a wall switch. Usually
intended for lamps. Avoid plugging your computer or Telephony Modem into
a switched outlet to avoid disruptions.
