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
broadband 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.
