Cable modem with voice

The specs and user guide on the CM1150V-100NAS cable modem with voice do not say if the telephone connector on the back supports obly one phone or a group of parallel connected phones like normally found in a home.  I would like to replace my land line with htis service but have 4 land line phones throughout my home.  Will it work?

    There is two Phone jacks in the back. Wheather or not there are for separate phone line numbers or same, NG support would be able to answer that:

    Also this would connect to your home phone networking so you would have a place where all your phone connect too, then this would connect to that central location. 

     

    I would also ask your ISP if this modem model is supported on there system. This modem is for cable ISPs with phone support thru the modem.

      This model is recommended by my cable company (Comcast) so OK there.  I have 250MBPS so OK there.  Specs sheet says second phone jack is for a second phone line so I can't use it.

        So then you would connect the phone interconnecting panel to the one active phone jack on the CM modem.

    I've got this modem and I have a line plugged in and it works with all the phones in my house. I also recently purchased a new four handset system, and only the main phone requires an rj11 plugged into the phone and wall, the other three Are Wireless handsets that just require power only. And a modem is connected directly to a phone outlet on the wall to my tel1. All four of my phones are functional.
