Installing the base unit

You need to install the base unit before using this product. The installation methods differ depending on whether you are at a hotel room or at home.

LHotel: See the instructions “While you are at a hotel room” on page 22.

LHome: See the instructions “While you are at home” on page 23.

Note:

LThe AC adaptor and base unit may become warm during use; however this is not a sign of malfunction.

LYou can also connect your computer to the base unit wirelessly instead of using the Ethernet cable. To establish a wireless connection between your computer and the base unit, you need to enter the same SSID into the computer as that of KX-WPA102 (The SSID is displayed on the included WLAN sticker). See “Using your computer on a wireless LAN” on page 153 for details.

LYou need to use only the included Panasonic AC adaptor PQWEWP1050 and AC cord PQJA10188Z.

LLeave the AC adaptor cord plugged in to the AC outlet the whole time.

LThe unit will not work during a power failure.

LWhen the base unit turns on (The WAN indicator lights in green or amber), the installation is complete.

Checking for Internet access:

Turn on your computer and open the Web browser to check for Internet access. If you cannot access the Internet, go through the following.

LFor Cable modem users: Turn off the modem for 10 minutes to erase the old information in the modem. If this still does not work, you may need to register the base unit with your Internet service provider. Provide them with the WAN MAC registration number found on the bottom of the base unit.

LFor DSL modem users: You may need to set the PPPoE configuration for your Internet connection type in Initialization Wizard (page 27). Do not unplug the power of the base unit during the setting. If unplugged, it may take a few minutes or more to reset the PPPoE connection.

Setting the base unit for the first time (Initialization Wizard)

You can log in the base unit and configure the unit’s settings using a Web browser on your computer connected to the “LAN” port on the base unit.

Important:

LRecommended Web browser:

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher for Windows Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or higher for Windows

LMake sure the base unit and handset are not being used.

LChange the appropriate setting for your network configuration.

If you access the base unit for the first time or after resetting the network settings (page 134, 145), you must set the user name and password first in Initialization Wizard so that you can access the base unit using them. After that, you need to configure the network settings you use for HOME and HOTEL modes.

For example, if you register AP (Bridge) setting for HOME mode and DHCP setting for HOTEL mode, you can connect to the Internet in AP (Bridge) or DHCP mode just by switching the Mode selector (page 144) to HOME or HOTEL from the next time.
