What kind of equipment does Charter Telephone® use?
In most areas, two pieces of equipment are used: a telephone modem, or Multimedia Terminal Adaptor (MTA), and a Local Power Supply Unit (LPSU). An MTA is a box that connects the cable and the telephone line inside your home. The LPSU provides the power needed for Charter Telephone® service. In some areas, a single MTA is used rather than both an LPSU and an MTA. Where this is the case, the MTA delivers the cable signal needed for Charter Telephone® service. The MTA may include a battery backup that keeps your service running if the power goes out. Learn more about battery backup at www.arrisistore.com.
