1. Connect a Category 5 (Ethernet) network cable from the
Uplink Port on the back of the Voice Enabler to an open port
on your router, switch or hub, which is connected to the
Internet. Verify that the Crossover Switch is in the correct
position. For more information about the Crossover Switch,
types of cables, and which ports to connect to, refer to the
chart below.
2. Connect the power-supply cable to the Power port on the
rear of the Voice enabler, then plug the supplied AC power
cable into a power outlet.
• The Power LED will illuminate green as soon as the power
adapter is connected.
• The Diag LED will illuminate red for a few seconds while
the Voice enabler goes through its internal diagnostic test.
The LED will turn off when the self-test is complete.
3. Connect a Standard Phone Cord to the RJ-11 Port on the
back of the Voice Enabler. Connect the other end of the cord
to your standard telephone. You will now be able to access
the Voice Over IP features from this telephone. Your
Net2Phone account is NOT set up at this time. Refer to the
section called Configuring Your Network with the
Cable/DSL Voice Enabler for more information.
4. You will need to know the IP address of the Voice Enabler in
order to configure it. This is done using the telephone that is
attached to the Enabler. Pick up the handset of the telephone
that is attached to the Enabler and dial 1**. The currently
assigned IP address of the Enabler will be read back to you.
If you are read a number that is anything besides 0.0.0.0,
write this number down and proceed to Step 6. If the IP
address you are read is 0.0.0.0, proceed to Step 5.
5. If the IP address you are read is 0.0.0.0, then your Voice
Enabler does not have an IP address. There is one of two
ways of assigning the Voice Enabler an IP address. You must
choose between the methods. You cannot use DHCP and a
static IP address for your Voice Enabler at the same time.
a) If you are using DHCP software to assign IP
addresses and your network is currently functioning proper-
ly, press the Reset button on the back of the Voice Enabler
and dial 1** again. Once you are read an IP address other
than 0.0.0.0, write it down and proceed to Step 6. If you
are still read a 0.0.0.0 IP address, make sure that your Voice
Enabler is connected properly and that the Power LED is lit.
If you are still read a 0.0.0.0 IP address, then refer to the
Troubleshooting section.
b)
If you are using static IP addresses on your network,
you need to determine what IP address you would like the
Voice Enabler to have. Pick up the handset of the telephone
that is attached to the Enabler and dial 1**, and then
XXX*XXXX*XXX*XXX, where “X” is a digit in the IP
address, and “*” is a period between them. For exam-
ple, dialing 1**192*168*1*2 would result in assigning the
Voice Enabler a static IP address of 192.168.1.2. Check the
address by dialing 1** again and listening for it to be read
back. If you are read the IP address as you assigned it,
write it down and proceed to Step 6.
