Connecting Local Computers

If you want to connect a single computer to the Internet through your UIP1868P, use

a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable to connect the UIP1868P's LAN port to your

computer's Ethernet port. You may have to reboot your computer after you connect it

to the phone, but no other configuration should be necessary.

If you have more than one device you want to connect to the Internet, then you will

need to use an intermediary device such as a switch, a router, or a wireless access

point. We strongly recommend that you connect your UIP1868P directly to your

broadband modem and connect your switch, router, or access point to the LAN port

of your phone. The UIP1868P performs essential Quality of Service (QoS) function

that allow for superior voice quality; placing any other device between the UIP1868P

and your broadband modem, the traffic on your local area network may reduce the

quality of your VoIP phone calls.

If you plan to set up a computer on your local network to host files or programs

accessible to the Internet, you will need to configure your UIP1868P to forward the

data associated with the specific type of service you want to support (such as a web

server, an FTP server, game server, etc.) to the host server. Internet protocol

separates data traffic for different services into port ranges. To configure the

UIP1868P to forward any data that comes in on the port range of the service you

want to support, follow the steps below.

1. Determine the TCP/UDP ports used by the application you are hosting. A list of

commonly used ports can be found at

numbers.

2. Open the configuration utility.

3. In the menu bar down the left side of the screen, select LAN.

4. In the menu bar on the top of the screen, select Port Forwarding. This opens the

Port Forwarding Configuration screen.
