The UIP1868P can function as your primary gateway/router or as a client
within an existing network configuration.

If you currently have broadband access and a gateway/router installed at
your location, you may add the UIP1868P as a client to your network. If
you currently have broadband internet access and do not have a router,
you may install your UIP1868P as the primary router to your network.

The UIP1868P supports the two most common broadband connection
protocols: DHCP (most common connection type found with Cable
Modem) and PPPoE (most DSL providers use this connection type).

 Setting up with DHCP

The UIP1868P is configured for use with Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) by default. If your broadband connection uses DHCP,
simply connect your phone's WAN port to your broadband modem
and then connect the phone’s power cord to an AC power outlet.

 Setting up with PPPoE

If your broadband connection uses PPPoE, you will need to configure
the UIP 1868P built-in router by inputting the user name and
password provided by your Internet Service Provider. Follow the steps
below to configure the UIP1868P to use a PPPoE-based connection.

a) Connect a

computer with a
web browser
directly to the LAN
port of your

(the default IP address of
your UIP1868P) into the

g) Under Authentication, enter the USERNAME and PASSWORD

that were provided by your ISP. Username and password are
often case-sensitive, so be sure to enter upper and lower case
letters correctly.

h) Under Settings, select the radio button labeled KEEPALIVE. This

configures the phone to maintain the PPPoE connection even
when your computer is idle or turned off.

i) When the utility displays a window telling you it must reboot

the phone, make sure your broadband modem is connected to
your phone's WAN port, then click
OK. When the phone finishes
rebooting, it will ask your
broadband modem to assign an IP
address. (See Figure #4)
