connected to the BPG510 with a network cable.

(5) Line – The Line light is green when you go off hook to indicate that your BPG510

is ready to make a call.

(6) Message – The Message light is green when you have a message waiting in

your mailbox.

REAR (picture)

(1) Power Jack – Connect the included power cord to this jack. (2) Reset Switch – The “Reset” button is used in rare cases when the BPG510 may

function improperly. Resetting the BPG510 will restore the BPG510’s normal operation while maintaining the programmed settings. We recommend you consult a Packet8 customer service representative before using this button.

(3) WAN – The WAN port is for connection to your cable or DSL modem or to

connect to your existing router.

(4) LAN – The LAN port is for connection to your computer or other networking

device.

(5) Line – The Line port is for connection to your telephone handset. Use the

telephone cable to connect the telephone to this port.

Opening the BPG510's Configuration Utility

Your BPG510 VoIP phone provides a browser-based configuration utility. You can configured the phone using the same web browser you use to surf the Internet. To open your phone's configuration utility, follow these instructions:

1. Connect a computer with a web browser directly to the LAN port of your BPG510.

(You may be able to connect to the BPG510 through a router or wireless access point, but if you have any difficulty connecting, try connecting directly to BPG510’s LAN Ethernet port.)

2. Be sure that this computer is configured to dynamically get an IP address (e.g.,

has the DHCP client enabled).

3. Type the IP address of your BPG510’s into the address bar of your web browser.

The default IP address of your BPG510 is 192.168.88.1. Then press the ENTER key. You will be prompted to enter a password (the default password is admin).

Note: If you change the LAN IP address of your phone, be sure to make note of it.

4. You should now see the your BPG510’s System Information Screen:

If you have any trouble opening the utility, first check the connection between your computer and the BPG510. Then, reboot your computer while it is connected to the BPG510.

Connecting to Your Broadband Modem

Setting up with DHCP

The BPG510 is configured for use with Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) by default. If your broadband connection uses DHCP, then you simply have to connect your phone's WAN port to your broadband modem and then connect the power on the phone. (See the BPG510 Router configuration Guide for detailed connection diagrams.)

If you have disabled the DHCP client (for example, it you have used your phone in a network requiring either PPPoE or a static IP address) and need to re-enable it, follow the steps below:

1. Open the configuration utility.

2. In the menu bar down the left side of the screen, select WAN.

3. In the top menu bar, select WAN Settings. This will open the Wan Configuration

screen.

4. Select the radio button labeled

5. Click

BPG510 User Interface Guide

Setting up with PPPoE

Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is often used by DSL broadband providers to connect and authenticate users on their networks. The service provider will give you a user name and password, and usually some additional software you need to run in order to go online. The BPG510 can take the place of the additional PPPoE software, allowing you to establish and maintain your broadband connection without running any extra programs on your computer.

Follow the steps below to configure the BPG510 to use a PPPoE-based connection:

1. Open the configuration utility.

2. In the menu bar down the left side of the screen, select WAN.

3. In the menu bar on the top of the screen, select PPPoE. This opens the WAN

PPPoE Configuration screen.

4. Under

5. Under

ENABLE PPPOE, click the drop-down arrow and select YES. AUTHENTICATION, enter the USERNAME and PASSWORD that were provided by

your ISP. Username and password are often case-sensitive, so be sure enter capital and small letters correctly.

6. Under

SETTINGS, enter the SERVICE NAME and AC NAME required by your ISP. If you

are not sure, leave this blank.

7. Click

SAVE PPPOE SETTINGS.

Connecting Local Computers

Connecting a single computer

If you want to connect a single computer to the Internet through your BPG510, use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable to connect the BPG510's LAN port to your computer's Ethernet port. You may have to reboot your computer after you connect it to the phone, but no other configuration should be necessary.

Connecting a local network

If you have more than one device you want to connect to the Internet, then you will need to use an intermediary device such as a switch, a router, or a wireless access point. We strongly recommend that you connect your BPG510 directly to your broadband modem and connect your switch, router, or access point to the LAN port of your phone. The BPG510 performs essential Quality of Service (QoS) function that allows for superior voice quality. Placing any other device between the BPG510 and your broadband modem, may reduce the quality of your VoIP phone calls due to the traffic on your network.

Supporting a host server on the local network (port forwarding)

If you plan to set up a computer on your local network to host files or programs accessible to the Internet, you will need to configure your BPG510 to forward the data associated with the specific type of service you want to support (such as a web server, an FTP server, game server, etc.) to the host server. Internet protocol separates data traffic for different services into port ranges. To configure the BPG510 to forward any data that comes in on the port range of the service, follow the steps below.

1. Determine the TCP/UDP ports used by the application you are hosting. A list of

commonly used ports can be found at

numbers.

2. Open the configuration utility.

3. In the menu bar down the left side of the screen, select LAN.

4. In the menu bar on the top of the screen, select Port Forwarding. This opens the

Port Forwarding Configuration screen.

BPG510 User Interface Guide

5. Under Port Range, enter the first port of the range you want to forward in the first

box and the last port of the range in the second box. If the service you are supporting only uses one port, enter the same port number in both boxes.

Ports in each range must be consecutive. If your service uses non-consecutive

ports, simply enter them as two separate port ranges.

6. Under Protocol, select whether the ports in the range are

BOTH.

UDP ports, TCP ports, or

7. Under Destination Address, enter the IP address of the computer you want the

data sent to.

8. Click

ADD. The BPG510 will add this port range to list of forwarded ports.

9. Repeat steps 5 through 8 for any additional ports ranges you want to forward. To

remove any port ranges from the list of forwarded ports, click the

REMOVE button

beside the port range you want to delete.

Setting up a DMZ

If you want to have one computer on your network receive all un-forwarded data that arrives at your firewall (for instance, because you want to monitor network traffic on the WAN side or you have one computer running too many services to configure all the forwarded ports), you can establish a single computer as a DMZ. Any data that is not in a port forwarding range will be sent to the DMZ. Follow the steps below to configure a computer as a DMZ.
