8. You may power up your computer and/or router although it does not need to be on to make phone calls.
9. Pick up your telephone receiver and listen for a dial tone.
B) ATA CONNECTED TO A ROUTER – NOT RECOMMENDED
As we cannot account for the programming of each possible home router, we are unable to support the installation of the ATA
to home routers.You might have to review your router manfacturer's instructions on how to avoid VoIP issues. Also, you may
review the information at www.portforward.com on how to configure VoIP with your specific type of router. Yak High Speed
Internet users may review the Thompson Modem device instructions provided with the X-Lite (softphone) documentation for
some advice on router issues.
In this scenario, the phone adapter obtains the public IP address.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable into the INTERNET port on the ATA phone adapter and connect the other end to an
open port on the home router.
2. Connect a telephone to the PHONE 1 port of the ATA Phone Adapter using a standard phone line.
3. Connect the power cable provided with the Linksys ATA Phone Adapter to the POWER port on the Linksys ATA
Phone Adapter. Wait about two minutes for the Cable/DSL modem to boot up and for the status indicators to be
lit. The Linksys ATA Phone Adapter's red status light will blink in sequence until it has fully connected to the Yak
Digital Phone service. Do not interrupt the configuration process by unplugging the power or lifting the receiver
on your phone during the startup process. The Power, Ethernet and Phone LEDs will be solidly lit when the phone
adapter is ready for use.
4. Pick up your telephone receiver and listen for a dial tone.
C) CONFIGURING YOUR DSL CREDENTIALS ON THE ATA
Yak supports the installation of the ATA when plugged in front of your modem as in section A. This means that the Linksys
SPA2102 ATA must obtain an IP address from the DSL network rather than your modem. Therefore you may need to program
the ATA with your DSL username / password. In this configuration the modem is in bridge mode, meaning that the ATA
manages the DSL authentication and holds the assigned public address.
Here is how you would program the ATA:
1. Determine the IP address of the ATA
a. Most commonly you can access the ATA configuration web page by pointing your web browser to
http://192.168.0.1. but this not always the case and depends on the home network configuration.
b. The most reliable way of determining the IP address of the ATA is to use the on board interactive voice
response menu. You can use this method once you have an analogue phone connected to the ATA.

Internet phones.)
