Overview
If you purchased your HH1620 voice gateway from a retail location, you must first activate
your
Xxxxx® Phone Service. You will need to provide the WAN MAC ID on the bottom of the
HH1620 .
Precautions
Postpone installation until there is no risk of thunderstorm or lightning activity in the area.
To prevent overheating the HH1620, do not block the ventilation holes on the unit.
Do not open the HH1620.
Caution!
We recommend powering your HH1620 through a surge protector or universal power
supply (UPS).
Gather Information
You may need to obtain the following information about your high-speed Internet connection:
For a DSL connection only, your user name and password
For a cable modem connection using static IP addresses only, your IP address, subnet
mask, default gateway, and DNS server IP address or addresses
If you already have a router, we recommend printing its configuration screens to use for
reference during Basic Configuration.
Connect the HH1620
If you already have a router, use instructions A: Installation With an Existing Router .
Note: If you have more than one computer connected to a single Internet connection,
you have a router.
If your cable or DSL modem has a built-in router with multiple computers connected, you
should also use instructions A.
Note: Some cable data and DSL providers supply modems containing a router. If your
modem has multiple Ethernet ports, it probably contains a router. If you are not sure, call
your cable or DSL provider and ask them whether your modem contains a router.
If you have a standard cable or DSL modem with just one computer connected, use
instructions B: Installation With a Standard Modem.
You can place the HH1620 on a flat surface horizontally or vertically. For vertical installation,
insert the voice gateway into the supplied base stand. The voice gateway slides snugly into a
notch in the stand to keep it stable.
