8Plug your cable or DSL modem power cord or adapter into an AC power outlet. Refer to the instructions provided with the modem.

IMPORTANT: Before you continue, be sure to allow enough time for your modem to complete its start-up process. Refer to the information provided by the modem manufacturer. For example, startup for a Motorola SURFboard cable modem is complete when its Power, Receive, Send, and Online lights are on and no longer flashing.

This turns on your voice gateway. The VT2142 does not have an On/Off power switch. The Power light on the front panel performs a series of blinks as described in “Front Panel” on page 2. You should not unplug your voice gateway when it is not in use.

IMPORTANT: Before you continue, be sure to allow enough time for your voice gateway to complete its start-up process. VT2142 startup is complete when the Power light on its front panel lights solid green. This usually takes a few minutes.

We recommend plugging the VT2142 power adapter into an electrical outlet that is grounded and equipped with a surge protector or UPS.
