Remote IP Feature Phone Installation Manual
Cable modem with a static IP address
Configuring the PC
1. Configure the PC to use a static IP address:
• Click on the Start Menu, choose Settings, then choose Control Panel.
• Double click the Network icon. The Network dialog box appears.
• Choose the TCP/IP protocol. (If you do not see TCP/IP, please refer to Appendix III for
instructions for installing TCP/IP.) You may have multiple instances of the protocol bound to
different adapters. If so double-click on the TCP/IP that appears to the network interface card
(NIC) installed in your computer.
• Click on the IP address tab, and ensure that the radio bullet next to Specify an IP address is
filled in.
Enter the IP address assigned to you by the ISP.
o
Enter the subnet mask assigned to you by the ISP.
o
• Click on the DNS tab.
Ensure the bullet next to Enable DNS is selected.
o
Enter the Host and Domain. (The host name is the name of the computer, and the domain
o
is supplied by the ISP.)
Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers assigned to you by the ISP. (If unsure of these
o
addresses, contact the ISP.)
• Click on the Gateway tab.
Enter the gateway IP address assigned by the ISP under New Gateway, then click the
o
Add button.
• Click on the OK button.
• The PC will display a message, "You must restart your computer for the new settings to take
effect." Click the Yes button.
2. When the PC boots back up, test the Internet connection to the main office gateway using the DOS
PING command (refer to Appendix I for additional instructions).
If the PING test fails, check the TCP/IP setting again to make sure a typo did not occur. If the
settings look right, contact the ISP's Technical Support Center and verify the IP address information.
Also, check with the ISP to make sure that the circuit is operating correctly.
Once the PING test is successful, you are ready to configure the ESI IP Remote Feature Phone for use
with the cable modem.
Adding the Remote Phone addressing
If a static address is assigned to the remote phone, no further programming of the cable modem is
required. Proceed to "Connecting the Remote Phone" (page E.1).
