The KX-WP1050 Wi-Fi Phone for Skype Executive Travel Set consists of the KX-WPA100
wireless handset and the KX-WPA102 wireless travel router (base unit) (router/wireless
access point functioning). It enables you to make and answer Skype-to-Skype calls with its
handset anywhere an Internet connection is available. In order to make Skype-to-Skype
calls, the handset needs wireless connection to the base unit which provides an access to
the Internet. You also need to sign in to Skype with your Skype account to make Skypeto-Skype calls. You can create your Skype account with the handset or on your computer.
Note:
L Depending on the network you use, you may not be able to connect to Skype due to
intentional restriction.

Obstacles during Wireless Connection:
The radio wave range may decrease depending on the surrounding environment or
existence of obstacles. If obstacles such as the following are placed between the base unit
and the handset (or a wireless device), radio waves will weaken.
Therefore, even if the distance between the base unit and the handset (or the wireless
device) is short, noise may be heard.

Page 32
Getting Started
While you are at home
The base unit has 2 modes of operation for use at home: AP (Bridge) mode and Router
mode.
AP (Bridge) mode:
Designed for the case when you have an existing router or modem (DSL or cable) with a
built-in router.
L Refer to the instructions on page 33.
Router mode:
Designed for the case when you only have a standard DSL or cable modem.
L Refer to the instructions on page 34.
Note:
L If your modem has more than 1 Ethernet port, then you have a modem with a built-in
router.
L If you have more than 1 computer connected to the Internet, then you have a router.
L If you do not know what type of modem you have, ask your Internet service provider.
AP (Bridge) mode - With an EXISTING ROUTER or MODEM with a
built-in ROUTER
If you install the base unit with your existing router or modem with a built-in router, the base
unit should be set to AP (Bridge) mode. Select [AP (Bridge)] for your connection mode in
Initialization Setup (page 36). In AP (Bridge) mode, the base unit connects wireless
devices to one another and to the LAN, and allows wireless devices to use a DHCP server
on the LAN. In most cases, routers are equipped with the function as the DHCP server.

4 Connect a separate Ethernet cable to the “LAN” port on the base unit and the Ethernet
(LAN) port on your computer (the same Ethernet (LAN) port you have just unplugged
the router from in step 2).
L You can also connect your computer to the base unit via wireless LAN connection.
5 Connect the included AC adaptor cord to the power port on the base unit and an AC
outlet.
L When the base unit turns on (The WAN indicator lights in green or amber), the
installation is complete.
Router mode - With a MODEM only
If you install the base unit with a modem only, the base unit should be set to Router mode.
In Router mode, the base unit assigns IP addresses to network devices (including wireless
devices) as a DHCP server. It also protects the network devices from being directly
exposed to the WAN. For your connection mode, select [DHCP], [Static] or [PPPoE] in
Initialization Setup (page 36).
2 Turn off your computer properly. Unplug your cable or DSL modem’s power cord and
leave the modem turned off for at least 10 minutes to clear its memory. Unplug any
cable connecting the modem to your computer. However, the modem needs to remain
connected to the Internet.
3 Make sure the base unit is left unplugged. Connect the included Ethernet cable to the
“WAN” port on the base unit and the Ethernet (LAN) port on the modem.
4 Connect a separate Ethernet cable to the “LAN” port on the base unit and the Ethernet
(LAN) port on your computer (the same Ethernet (LAN) port you have just unplugged
your modem from in step 2).
L You can also connect your computer to the base unit via wireless LAN connection.
5 Plug your modem’s power adaptor into an AC outlet.
L Wait for your modem’s power light to stop flashing before you go to the next step. (It
may take a few minutes.)
6 Connect the included AC adaptor cord to the power port on the base unit and an AC
outlet.

Getting Started
Setting up the base unit for the first time (Initialization
Setup)
For security purpose and enabling the Internet connection, it is necessary to set up the
base unit at the very first time. You can log in the base unit and configure the unit’s settings
using the Web browser on the computer you connected to the base unit’s “LAN” port.
Important:
L Required Web browser:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later for Windows

connection settings between the HOME mode and the HOTEL mode simply.
The base unit can contain up to 4 Internet connection setting profiles and 2 among those
4 setting profiles can be assigned to the mode selector positions which are HOME mode
and HOTEL mode.
For example, a setting profile of AP (Bridge) connection mode for the HOME mode and an
another setting profile of DHCP connection type for the HOTEL mode.
You are going to set up those profiles for HOME and/or HOTEL mode settings through the
initialization setup shown in the following pages.
Follow the procedures below to set up the base unit for Internet connection.
1
Setting your login user name and password
Set your user name and password to log in the base unit.

to it along with this guide for troubleshooting.
Connection:
ProblemSolution
The modem is connected
but the WAN indicator is
off.
The Ethernet is
connected but the LAN
indicator is off.
L Check that the modem and this product are connected.
L Check that the power of the modem and this product
are turned on.
L It is possible that the Ethernet cable is torn apart. Check
a link lamp of the device that the base unit is connected
to.
L Check the computer connection.
L Check that the computer is turned on.
L Check that the LAN card and driver are installed on the
computer.
L It is possible that the Ethernet cable is torn apart. Check
a link lamp of the device that the base unit is connected

I cannot find the IP
address assigned to the
base unit on LAN side
after restarting the base
unit in [AP-DHCP] mode.
The Initialization Setup
still indicates hotel mode
after switching the mode
selector to home mode.
After failure to enter the
user name and the
password to a prompt
screen asking for them
for 3 times, the base unit
does not respond.
L Dialog boxes may not be displayed immediately due to
the state of the LAN.
L Check that the LAN or WIRELESS indicator lights in
green. Also, check if the LAN card or wireless LAN card
is on. If not, check that the LAN is connected.
L Check that the power supply was turned on in the
following order: modem, router (if you have one), base
unit, computer. When turning off the power supply, do
so in the following order: modem, base unit, router (if
you have one), computer.
L IP address of the base unit on LAN side changes from
the default IP address (192.168.102.1), after you restart
the base unit in [AP-DHCP] mode.
L The handset shows the new IP address assigned to the
base unit on LAN side. See “View wireless network
status” on page 107.
L To make the new mode effective, restart the base unit
(page 189) after the mode selector position is changed.
L Wait for 1 minute until the base unit becomes ready and
access to http://192.168.102.1 (the base unit's default
IP address) or http://kxwpa.webpage
