IMPORTANT information for IP/broadband users.

Do you have a standard ADSL/router configurations 
similar to home broadband?

Yes?

  Then you should be able to “plug and play” 

without needing to amend any network configurations. 

Unsure?

  Then it may be useful to coordinate with your 

IT department or Internet Service Provider (ISP) to check 
the below:

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) 

– DHCP 

should be enabled on the router/modem as the terminal 
uses dynamic IP and will not work using static IP.

MAC Address Blocking/Filtering

 – does your router/

modem use MAC address blocking/filtering? This usually 
only applies to large/company networks. If MAC address 
blocking is used on the network, the terminals’ MAC 
address must be “Allowed” onto the Network by your  
IT Department.

Firewall Settings

 – if you have Firewall in place then it 

may block the terminal from communicating with our 
systems. For further information please contact our 
Customer Service Team on 

0844 811 6666

Connecting your equipment

IMPORTANT: Do not switch on the power at the mains 
until you have followed the simple steps below:

 Connect the power supply unit into the base unit.

2.

  Put the plug into your power source.

3.  

Both a standard phone line cable and an Ethernet 
cable are connected to your terminal. Please select 
the relevant cable and plug it into your telephone wall 
socket or network router/network point as required. 

4.
