WavePhone
™
WavePhone
works just like other home phone services you may be used to, though it does require
™
some equipment that you may not be familiar with. A Wave Technician will connect a small device
called a Multimedia Terminal Adaptor (MTA) between your cable line and the existing phone jacks in
your home to enable the service. If you have high-speed internet service from Wave, the MTA may also
act as your internet cable modem
Phone Equipment
Note: Not all Multimedia Terminal Adapters (MTAs) look alike. The one you receive may vary slightly
from the diagram below.

Some MTAs have a Standby button on the front of the unit. Pressing the Standby
