Wireless-G Broadband Router with 2 Phone Ports

Connection Instructions

1. Make sure that all of your hardware is powered off, including the Router, PCs, and broadband modem.
NOTE: Make sure your telephone is set to its tone setting (not pulse).
2. Connect your broadband modem's Ethernet cable to the Router's Internet port.
3. Plug a standard telephone into the Router's Phone1 port.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect the Phone port to a telephone wall jack. Make sure you only connect
a telephone or fax machine to the Phone port. Otherwise, the Router or the telephone wiring in your
home or office may be damaged.
4. If you have a second Vonage phone or fax line, repeat step 3 to connect a telephone or fax machine to the
Router's Phone2 port.
5. Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports on the back of the Router.
Connect the other end to an Ethernet port on a network device, e.g., a PC, print server, or switch.
Repeat this step to connect more PCs or other network devices to the Router.
6. Power on the broadband modem.
7. Connect the included power adapter to the Router's Power port, and then plug the power adapter into an
electrical outlet. The Power LED on the front panel will light up when the adapter is connected properly.
