Telephone base installation
To install the telephone base:
Do NOT plug in the telephone base until you are instructed to do so.
Before connecting the telephone base to the broadband router, make sure the router’s DHCP server is enabled. Typically, the DHCP server is enabled by default. Refer to your router’s documentation for details on configuring this feature.
Step 1: Install telephone line
Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the telephone line jack on the back of the telephone base. Then plug the other end of the cord into a telephone outlet. If you have DSL, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and the wall jack. Contact your DSL provider for more information on DSL filters and telephone line interference.
Step 2: Install ethernet cable
Using the yellow ethernet cable provided, connect one end into the port labeled INTERNET, located on the back of the telephone base. Connect the other end into an available LAN port on your broadband router.
Step 3: Turn power on
Plug the telephone base power adapter into the power port located on the back of the ip8300 telephone base and the other end into an electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch. This turns the telephone on. Do NOT interrupt the telephone installation process by unplugging the power adapter or by using the handsets until the POWER, INFO and INTERNET indicator lights on the front of telephone base have changed to solid.
Step 4: Check diagnostic lights
��The POWER light should be solid indicating the power is on.
�� The INTERNET light should be solid indicating a good physical connection between the telephone base and router.
�� The INFO light should be solid indicating that the telephone system is able to access data services on the Internet.
