The following steps explain how to directly connect your telephone to the Rogers Home Phone modem.

• Make sure the existing telephone cord connected to the Home Phone Modem is in the black/grey jack on the back of the modem closest to the edge marked Tel ½ and not Tel 2 or Ethernet jacks.
  • If you have only one phone line, Tel ½ will be the only active jack on the back of the box most of the time and it’s only on rare occasions Tel 2 will be enabled instead.
  • Ethernet is disabled on this device.
• If the telephone cord is not in the Tel ½ jack, move it to that jack and test the line again before you proceed.
