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 IP8100 series broadband telephone base unit and connect the other end into an available LAN port on your router. If you have a wireless 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 IP8100 series 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 IP8100 series 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 base has gone from flashing yellow to a steady green. Helpful Hint: Use only the power cord provided in this package; using an older power cord can damage the broadband phone. STEP 3: Check for dial tone by pressing the ON button on your handset.
