The AT-VP504E FXS begins its initial provisioning sequence when powered on. The automatic start up is the easiest way to have your AT-VP504E FXS connected and ready to be used. However, you will miss one critical element: its IP address.
If you have no way to determine the IP address attributed to your AT-VP504E FXS, you will have to perform a recovery mode reset. The procedure is described in the AT-VP504E FXS Administration Manual.
Note: The MAC address is essential if you want to reserve a specific IP address in the DHCP server. The MAC address is printed on the label located at the bottom of the AT-VP504E FXS.
