This Phone Adapter will allow your computers to share a high-speed Internet connection as well as resources, including files and printers. And after you have set up your Internet phone service, also known as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), you will be able to make phone or fax calls using the Internet. How does the Phone Adapter do all of this? By connecting your computers and peripherals, including phones or fax machines, to the Phone Adapter and connecting the Phone Adapter to your cable or DSL modem, then the Phone Adapter can direct and control communications for your network. Each of the Phone Adapter's two telephone jacks can operate independently, with separate phone service and phone numbers, so you can have up to two Internet phone lines per Adapter. But what does all of this mean? Networks are useful tools for sharing Internet access and computer resources. Multiple computers can share Internet access, so you don't need more than one high-speed Internet connection. With Internet phone service, your Internet access can now be shared by your phones or fax machines as well. You will be able to make phone calls using the account you set up with your Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP), even while you're surfing the Internet. Plus, you can access one printer from different computers and access data located on another computer's hard drive. Networks are even used for playing multiplayer video games. So, networks not only are useful in homes and offices, but also can be fun. PCs on a wired network create a LAN, or Local Area Network. They are connected with Ethernet cables, which is why the network is called "wired". Chapter 1: Introduction Welcome Phone Adapter with Router network: a series of computers or devices connected for the purpose of data sharing, storage, and/or transmission between users. lan (local area network): the computers and networking products that make up the network in your home or office. ethernet: an IEEE standard network protocol that specifies how data is placed on and retrieved from a common transmission medium. 1 Phone Adapter with Router To create your network, install and set up the Phone Adapter.

Chapter 2: Networking Basics An Introduction to Local Area Networks Simply put, a router is a network device that connects two networks together. The Phone Adapter connects your local area network (LAN), or the group of PCs in your home or office, to the Internet. The Phone Adapter processes and regulates the data that travels between these two networks. The Phone Adapter's Network Address Translation (NAT) technology protects your network of PCs so users on the Internet cannot "see" your PCs. This is how your LAN remains private. The Phone Adapter protects your network by inspecting the first packet coming in through the Internet port before delivery to the final destination on one of the Ethernet ports. The Phone Adapter inspects Internet port services like the web server, ftp server, or other Internet applications, and, if allowed, it will forward the packet to the appropriate PC on the LAN side. Phone Adapter with Router nat (network address translation): NAT technology translates IP addresses of a local area network to a different IP address for the Internet. The Use of IP Addresses IP stands for Internet Protocol. Every device in an IP-based network, including PCs, print servers, and routers, requires an IP address to identify its location, or address, on the network. This applies to both the Internet and LAN connections. There are two ways of assigning IP addresses to your network devices. A static IP address is a fixed IP address that you assign manually to a PC or other device on the network. Since a static IP address remains valid until you disable it, static IP addressing ensures that the device assigned it will always have that same IP address until you change it. Static IP addresses are commonly used with network devices such as server PCs or print servers. Chapter 2: Networking Basics An Introduction to Local Area Networks ip (internet protocol): a protocol used to send data over a network. ip address: the address used to identify a computer or device on a network. static ip address: a fixed address assigned to a computer or device that is connected to a network. 5 Phone Adapter with Router If you use the Phone Adapter to share your cable or DSL Internet connection, contact your ISP to find out if they have assigned a static IP address to your account. If so, you will need that static IP address when configuring the Phone Adapter. You can get the information from your ISP. A dynamic IP address is automatically assigned to a device on the network. These IP addresses are called dynamic because they are only temporarily assigned to the PC or other device. After a certain time period, they expire and may change. If a PC logs onto the network (or the Internet) and its dynamic IP address has expired, the DHCP server will assign it a new dynamic IP address. A DHCP server can either be a designated PC on the network or another network device, such as the Phone Adapter. By default, the Phone Adapter's Internet Connection Type is DHCP (obtain an IP address automatically). The PC or network device obtaining an IP address is called the DHCP client. DHCP frees you from having to assign IP addresses manually every time a new user is added to your network. For DSL users, many ISPs may require you to log on with a user name and password to gain access to the Internet. This is a dedicated, high-speed connection type called Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). PPPoE is similar to a dial-up connection, but PPPoE does not dial a phone number when establishing a connection. It also will provide the Phone Adapter with a dynamic IP address to establish a connection to the Internet. By default, a DHCP server (on the LAN side) is enabled on the Phone Adapter. If you already have a DHCP server running on your network, you MUST disable one of the two DHCP servers. If you run more than one DHCP server on your network, you will experience network errors, such as conflicting IP addresses. To disable DHCP on the Phone Adapter, see the Router - LAN Setup section in "Chapter 5: Using the Web-based Utility." dynamic ip address: a temporary IP address assigned by a DHCP server. dhcp (dynamic host configuration protocol): a protocol that lets one device on a local network, known as a DHCP server, assign temporary IP addresses to the other network devices, typically computers. 6 Chapter 2: Networking Basics The Use of IP Addresses Chapter 3: Getting to Know the Phone Adapter The Back Panel The Phone Adapter's ports are located on the back panel.

The ETHERNET port connects to a network device, such as a PC or a switch, with an Ethernet network cable. The INTERNET port connects to your cable or DSL modem. The Power port is where you will connect the power adapter. INTERNET Power Chapter 3: Getting to Know the Phone Adapter The Back Panel 7 Phone Adapter with Router The Front Panel The Phone Adapter's LEDs, which inform you about network activities, are located on the front panel.

The LED also flashes when the Phone Adapter is booting up or upgrading its firmware. Green. The INTERNET LED lights up when there is an active connection through the port. If the LED is flashing, then there is traffic moving through that port. Green. The PHONE LED is solidly lit when a telephone or fax machine has an active or registered connection to your Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP) through the corresponding port. It flashes when the phone is being used or is off the hook. Proceed to "Chapter 4: Getting Started."

The first way is to place the Phone Adapter horizontally on a surface. The second way is to mount the Phone Adapter on a wall. The wall-mount option is explained in further detail below. Wall-Mount Option The Phone Adapter has two wall-mount slots on its back panel. The distance between the two slots is 58 mm (2.28 inches). 1. Determine where you want to mount the Phone Adapter. 2. Drill two holes into the wall. Make sure the holes are 58 mm (2.28 inches) apart. 3. Insert a screw into each hole, and leave 5 mm (0.2 inches) of its head exposed. 4. Maneuver the Phone Adapter so the wall-mount slots line up with the two screws. 5. Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the Phone Adapter down until the screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots. Congratulations! The installation of the Phone Adapter is complete.
