Activating Your Device

Obtain the Activation Code for your Linksys 2102 ATA device. If this has not been communicated to you in an 

Equipment Shipped

 email from 

8x8, or if you do not have access to this email, you can retrieve the activation codes from your 8x8 Self Service Portal.

Note: 

If you purchased a 

Second Port Fax Extension Plan

 for the 

Phone 2

 port, further activation is not required.

Locating an Activation Code

Refer to the figure below for these steps:

a.  Just log on to your Self Service Portal at 

myaccount.8x8.com

 and click on the 

Activate

 button of the extension that you  

wish to activate.

b.  A pop up screen will display the activation code for the extension.

c.  Use the activation code and simply follow the steps below for activation. 

Enter Your Activation Code

1.  Make sure your Linksys 2102 ATA is connected to the Internet, and that a regular telephone or a fax machine with a telephone is attached 

to the 

Phone 1

 port.

NOTE: 

If you have a fax machine without a telephone handset, attach a regular telephone to the 

Phone 1

 port and then replace it with the 

fax machine after the phone port is activated.

2.  Lift your handset as if you were answering your phone or making a call. You should hear a recorded message with instructions on how to 

enter your activation code and activate your device. 

NOTE: 

If you do not hear the recorded message, check all your wiring again, and if you are still having problems, call 8x8 Service  

at: 1.888.898.8733 for assistance.

3.  Enter the activation code that corresponds with the extension number you are activating, and press 

#.

4.  After entering the code, you should hear the successful activation message.

5.  Your device should restart in one minute or less. If it does not restart, please restart your device by disconnecting your power and 

reconnecting power.

6.  After restarting, the 

Phone 1

 or 

Phone 2

 indicator lights on the front panel should be solid green and you should be able to make phone 

calls (place a sample call to verify) and if this is a phone port that you want to use for fax, you can now connect your fax after a test call 
was successful.
