NOTE: The IP800 series telephone is expandable up to
a total of 4 handsets. Uses model IP8 (sold separately)
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.
STEP 1:
Using the blue Ethernet cable provided, connect one end into the blue port,
labeled "WAN," located on the back of the IP800 series broadband telephone
base unit and connect the other end into an available LAN port on your router. If
you have a wireless modem router, place the base unit at least 3 feet 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 ca-
ble 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 IP800 se-
ries broadband telephone base unit.
STEP 2:
Plug the power cord into the power port located on the bottom of your base unit
and the other end into the electrical outlet. This turns the IP800 series broad-
band telephone on.
