Battery Backup Units, interior-exterior
Am looking on this webpage Telephone Equipment Battery Questions and Answers (https://www.cox.com/residential/support/telephone-equipment-battery-questions-and-answers.html), Battery Backup Units on the Outside of the Home and units connected to ONT. Both units appear to connect to the cox cable. Is this necessary to maintain phone service during a power outage. Could standard battery backup units that allow all of the equipment (modems, phones, etc.) to be plugged into them work as well without the units that the cable plugs into or are the units that the cable plugs into necessary to maintain the phones during a power outage?
AT&T phones
Voice/Internet Modem
Brand: CISCO
Model: DPQ3212
Input Voltage 100-120V AC / 50-60 Hz
Hi HalVegas, assuming the Cox equipment that provides the network signal to your home was unimpacted, there are two things required for your home phone line to work: the digital telephone modem must be connected to both an active coax cable outlet and a source of power like an external battery backup. Does this help?
