Setting up Your
CapTel
840i
For complete instructions, please see the Setup Guide.
Requirements
1. High-speed Internet access using a DSL or Digital Cable modem (the
CapTel
840i connects either via a WiFi network or with an Ethernet cable).
Depending on your Internet setup, a router may also be required to allow
you to connect more than one device to your Internet service.
2. Telephone service (can be analog line, DSL with filter, VOIP, fiber optic, or
Digital Cable phone service).
CapTel
does not work with digital Private Branch
Exchange (PBX) systems found in some office environments, residential facilities,
and hotels, unless an analog port is available. Using
CapTel
with a PBX system
without an analog port may damage the phone and the PBX system.
3. Standard electrical power (AC adapter plugs into standard wall outlet).
Select a location
Set up the
CapTel
840i in a place where:
• There is a high-speed Internet (Ethernet) jack or your wireless
router is located nearby.
• There is a telephone jack nearby (can be analog line, DSL with
filter, VOIP, fiber optic, or Digital Cable phone service).
• There is an electrical outlet nearby.
• The surface it will be set on, or mounted to, is stable and secure.
• The area is protected from excessive heat or humidity.
NOTE:
The outlets for power, the phone line, and the Ethernet connection
should all be located nearby, as each cord needs to plug into your CapTel 840i.
If your Internet access is located in a different room than where you plan to use
the CapTel 840i, a WiFi setup is recommended. Please see the Setup Guide or
contact CapTel Customer Service for help setting everything up.
