Installation Directions
STEP 1:
Using the blue Ethernet cable provided, connect one end into the blue port,
labeled “WAN,” located on the back of the IP8100 series broadband telephone
base unit and connect the other end into an available LAN port on your router. If
you have a wireless router, place the base unit at least three feet (36 inches) away
from your router to avoid interference.
Helpful Hint: If all the Ethernet ports on your existing router are full, disconnect
one of the attached devices from the existing router. Plug the blue Ethernet cable
into the now free port on your router. Connect the device you just unplugged
from your router to the yellow “PC/LAN” port located on the back of IP8100 series
broadband telephone base unit.
Warning: Do not route the Ethernet cable to outdoors, and ensure that you are
using a safety approved DSL or Cable modem with proper electrical isolation.
NOTE: The IP8100 series telephone is expandable up to
a total of 4 handsets. Uses model IP811 (sold separately)
