IP 8100-2/8100-3
Handset 1 & 2
NOTE: The IP 8100-2/8100-3 is expandable up to
a total of 4 handsets. Uses model IP 811 (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 IP 8100-2/8100-3 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' 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 IP 8100-2/8100-3 broad-
band telephone base unit.
STEP 2:
Plug the power cord into the power port located on the bottom of your IP 8100-
2/8100-3 base unit and the other end into the electrical outlet. This turns the IP 8100-
2/8100-3 broadband telephone on.
Helpful Hint: DO NOT interrupt this registration process by unplugging the power or
by using the handsets until the READY indicator light on the front of IP 8100-2/8100-3
base has gone from flashing yellow to a steady green.
Helpful Hint: Use only the power cord provided in this package; using an older pow-
er cord can damage the broadband phone.
STEP 3:
Check for dial tone by pressing the ON button on your handset. If you do not hear a
dial tone, please refer to the Troubleshooting section of the user manual.
