Connecting a landline to my CM1200 router
Hello all, I just purchased and set up a CM1200 modem and didn’t notice when I read the specs that it doesn’t support voice over IP. Since I run my business from home I this is something that is go...
The CM1200 modem is just a modem only and supports VoIP thru phone or chat apps with use of a router.
If you have a phone service that needs RJ11 phone jack support, then you'll need a CM1150v which has actual phone support service and RJ11 phone jacks in back.
Would an analog telephone adaptor (ATA) work? I've been doing some research and from what I understand ATA's are made for situations like this to allow connection of phones. Thank you for your previous imput and any thoughts you have on this are appreciated!
Cheers
Possible. I know we had a MajikJack for a while and it worked behind our host router. Adatpers connect to routers, not at the modem.
