Telephone base installation
If you have problems getting the ip8300 installed properly, first verify that you have the device physically installed correctly. Then try rebooting the telephone base by unplugging the power and plugging it back in after few seconds. Some routers require modifications to their firewall settings to allow the ip8300 to access Internet content. In this case, we recommend that you forward TCP port 5060 to the IP address of the ip8300, or configure it as the DMZ host. To find the IP address of the ip8300, check the DHCP log for your router.
For detailed information on checking DHCP logs, setting up port forwarding, or DMZ host configuration, refer to your router’s documentation or call the manufacturer for help. If you continue to have problems, refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 92 for additional information relating to setup.
