The other ether ports on your modem are for what ever you want to use them for.
If the modem has several Ethernet ports, it might be a router/modem and do NAT. If that's the case, you may need to log in to the modem's config page and forward some ports and/or put the OOMA box in the DMZ. (Something to look into if the OOMA box doesn't work right -- it's needed with other VoIP services.)
