Installation
Connecting the Broadband Phone Adapter
For the Virtual Office phone to connect to the PBX service, the Packet8 Broadband
Phone Adapter must be connected to the network. The Packet8 Broadband Phone
Adapter is simple to install and displays easy-to-understand indicators.
DCHP:
For normal installation, if your network is DHCP (dynamic) enabled, please
skip to the section “Assembling and Activating the Phone” below.
Static:
For installation requiring fixed / static IP addresses or special configuration,
please follow this procedure:
If you do not have a DHCP server on your router or local network, you may need to
set the IP address on your adapter manually. Network settings for static/fixed IP
address (including DNS) can be set by holding the [Reset] button on the adapter
while plugging in the power and typing them in via the handset:
1.
Hold the [Reset] button while you power on the adapter.
2.
Release the button within a few seconds of powering on.
3.
You will hear a repeating high-pitched beep sound.
4.
Type in static/fixed IP address, net mask, gateway, and DNS address with digits,
[*] and [#] After each entry is accepted the beep sound will lower in pitch (type
[#] directly if you want to stay DHCP mode instead of a static/fixed IP address).
For example:
IP Address 192.168.1.10
Net Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1
DNS 63.209.12.18
The key sequence would be as follows:
[Reset] button (high beep)
192*168*1*10# (lower beep)
255*255*255*0# (lower beep)
192*168*1*1# (lower beep)
63*209*12*18# (four beeps to indicate complete)
