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.

STEP 2
|
Wait 60 seconds after plugging your HandyTone in. |
STEP 3
|
Pick up the phone connected to the HandyTone and dial the *
key on your phone 3 times. |
STEP 4
|
Have a pen and paper ready. You will hear a message - "Enter a
menu option", then enter 0 2 on your phone. You will now hear a message
giving you the IP address of your HandyTone such as - "192.168.001.010" write this
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". |

the power, wait 10 seconds and plug it back in. If after another 2 minutes the light continues to blink
