How To Install Your VoIP Internet Phone
In order to start using your VoIP service, you will need
to install your VoIP Phone Adapter.
NOTE: If you currently use a USB connection between your computer
and your Cable/DSL modem, you will need to upgrade to an Ethernet
connection. This may require you to purchase and install a Network
Interface Card (NIC) for your computer
What you will need:
Installation Procedure
-
Turn off the power for all devices, including your Cable/DSL modem
to your broadband connection, and computer.
-
Connect an Ethernet cable (the green one included with your Lingo
device or another cable just like it) from the Cable/DSL modem's
Ethernet port to the WAN port on the back of the VoIP Phone Adapter.
-
Connect a second Ethernet cable from the ENET port on the back of
the VoIP Phone Adapter to the Ethernet port on the computer.
-
Connect a standard analog telephone to the PH1 port on the back
of the VoIP Phone Adapter using a standard phone line. (Note: any
phone designed for residential use is an analog phone and will work.
For cordless phone systems, make sure you are connecting to the
base/transmitter).
-
Turn on the Cable/DSL modem. Wait until it is successfully connected
(see your modem's user manual or contact your ISP if you
are unsure of how to tell when the modem is connected to your broadband
connection).
-
Connect the provided power cable to the POWER port on the back of
the VoIP Phone Adapter, connect other end to any standard home
outlet (wall plug, surge-protector, etc).
-
Verify the POWER light on the front of the VoIP Phone Adapter
is on. If it is not, check your power connection again.
The WAN light on the front of the VoIP Phone Adapter will begin
as a steady green, then start flashing as it connects to the internet
through your broadband connection
While the WAN light is blinking, important files are downloading.
Do not unplug the power or lift the receiver on your phone at this
time, as it may cause you to lose service.
-
Once the green VOIP light is on, you are ready to place calls.
-
Turn on your computer. After your operating system loads, use a
web browser to verify that you can access the internet through your
broadband connection.
