The UIP1868P is configured for use with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) by default. If your broadband connection uses DHCP, simply connect your phone's WAN port to your broadband modem and then connect the phone’s power cord to an AC power outlet.
Setting up with PPPoE
If your broadband connection uses PPPoE, you will need to configure the UIP 1868P
a)Connect a computer with a web browser
directly to the LAN port of your UIP1868P.
b)Type http://192.168.15.1 (the default IP address of your UIP1868P) into the address bar of your web browser. Then press the Enter key. (See Figure #1)
c) You should now see your UIP1868P’s System Information Screen. (See Figure #2)

UIP 1868P Router Configuration Guide
The UIP1868P can function as your primary gateway/router or as a client within an existing network configuration.
If you currently have broadband access and a gateway/router installed at your location, you may add the UIP1868P as a client to your network. If you currently have broadband internet access and do not have a router, you may install your UIP1868P as the primary router to your network.

h)Under Settings, select the radio button labeled KEEPALIVE. This configures the phone to maintain the PPPoE connection even when your computer is idle or turned off.
i)When the utility displays a window telling you it must reboot the phone, make sure your broadband modem is connected to your phone's WAN port, then click
OK. When the phone finishes
rebooting, it will ask your broadband modem to assign an IP address. (See Figure #4)

3Setting up with a Static IP Address
If your broadband provider has given you a static IP address, you will need to enter that information in the UIP1868P. Follow the steps below to configure the UIP1868P for use with a Static IP address.
Connect a computer with a web browser directly to the LAN port of your UIP1868P.
Type http://192.168.15.1. (the default IP address of
your UIP1868P) into the
address bar of your webFigure #5 browser. Then press the Enter key.
