STEP 1
|
Decide whether you plan to use the HandyTone 486 as a router or behind your
existing broadband router.
If you will be using the HandyTone as a router connect your broadband connection (such as cable modem
or DSL modem) to the WAN port on the HandyTone. Connect your computer or Ethernet hub to the LAN port
on the HandyTone. For more detailed instructions please refer to the HandyTone manual.
If you will be using the HandyTone behind your existing broadband router connect the WAN port on the
HandyTone to your router or LAN. For more detailed instructions please refer to the HandyTone manual.
After connecting the network cables, connect your phone to the HandyTone. Finally plug the supplied
power cable into the HandyTone.

number down. |
STEP 5
|
Open a web browser on your computer such as Internet Explorer and enter the IP
address you heard in step 4 as the address (I.E. where you would normally enter www.yahoo.com).
Please note: some browsers will require you to remove leading zero's ( 0 's ) in the IP address.
For example if you heard "192.168.001.010" you should change this to "192.168.1.10". |

your unit is configured and ready to make calls, please continue to the next step.
If the light on the top of the HandyTone is still blinking red, please wait 2 minutes and then unplug
the power, wait 10 seconds and plug it back in. If after another 2 minutes the light continues to blink

that your internet connection is currently up and running. |
