Linksys PAP 2

Conﬁguration Guide

Step 1: Connect the Linksys PAP2 to your Broadband connection

Use this illustration of the back of the ATA to connect it to your network.

1. Phone 1 – plug in your analog telephone cord:

2. Ethernet Port - use an Ethernet cable to connect your PAP2 to your router or modem:

3. Power connection - Connect the power to your PAP2:

Step 2: Verify & Conﬁgure your IP Address

First we need to verify that your PAP2 will acquire an IP Address automatically if your network supports DHCP.

If your network uses a DHCP Server to assign IP Addresses to network devices, or if you are connecting the PAP2 to a home router such as a Linksys or Netgear router or a modem that supports DHCP/NAT, please do the following:

1. Plus a standard telephone into the Phone 1 port of your PAP2.

2. Pick up the phone connected to Phone 1 and enter “* * * *”. You will hear a voice prompt saying “Conﬁguration menu: please enter option followed by the pound key, or hangup to exit”.

3. Press the keys 1 0 1 # on your analog phone.

4. Then press 1 # to enable DHCP.

5. Then press 1 to save your conﬁguration settings. Hang up the phone and wait 2 minutes.

Next, we must verify that the PAP2 has a valid IP Address:

1. Pick up the phone connected to Phone 1 of the PAP2 and enter “* * * *”. You will hear a voice prompt saying “Linksys conﬁguration menu”.

2. Press the keys 1 1 0 # on your analog phone. The system will now read back the IP address of your PAP2. Please write it down.

If the IP is 0.0.0.0, your PAP2 does not have a valid IP address. In this case you need to:

1. Hang up the phone, unplug and re-plug your PAP2 power cord.

2. Wait 2 minutes, and check the IP again.

3. If you still get 0.0.0.0, there can be two reasons for this: a. Your DHCP Server is not assigning an IP address to the PAP2 (in which case you should contact your network administrator or ISP for assistance). b. Your network does not have a DHCP server or you have purchased a Static IP Address for the PAP2 from your ISP. In this case, please proceed to Manually Assigning a Static IP Address ` below, otherwise skip this step.
