Configuration and Setup Guide

Getting Started

If you don't have a route r and only have a standard DSL or Cable modem, or if your modem does not have router function, you'll need to install the Linksys SPA-2102 VoIP adapter with the router function. The SPA-2102 also has the added feature of having two phone lines for connection to existing analog telephone handsets.

1.) Turn off your computer, modem and the Linksys 2101 phone adapter (for modems without an off/on switch just unplug the power to the unit).

2.) Disconnect your computer from your high-speed modem, and then using that same cable, plug the cable into the PC port of the Linksys 2102 phone adapter.

3.) Connect the WAN port on the Linksys  2102 phone adapter to your DSL or Cable modem (the same port your computer was connected to) using the Ethernet cable included in the DolphinTel connection Kit.

4.) Connect your touchtone telephone to the phone 1 port on the Lynksys 2102 phone adapter using a standard telephone cable.

5.)Turn on your modem (and your computer) and wait for them to start up (typically, when all lights have turned green.)

6.) Plug the power adapter into the power jack on the Lynksys 2102 phone adapter and then into an electrical outlet. This will turn the adapter on.The light on the Lynksys 2102 phone adapter will flash red until the adapter connects to the Service. Pick up the telephone handset and listen for a dial tone. You can now make calls now!

Advanced Installation for PPPoE

If you use DSL and your provider requires "User Name & Password" authentication, you have a rare opportunity to do something you probably never thought you'd get to experience - changing your PPPoE configuration. ("PPPoE" stands for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet.) This sounds complicated, but it can be completed in just a few steps.

1.) Turn on your computer and open your Internet browser.

2.) Enter 192.168.0.1 into your browser's address bar (near the top of the screen) and press enter.

3.) This allows access to the Linksys 2102 phone adapter setup screen.

4.) You will be presented with the configuration page. Click on the Wan Setup tab. Midway on the page you will see the fields asking for your PPPoE Login Name and PPOE Login Password.

5.) Enter the PPPoE Login Name (User name) and Password that were provided to you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you don't know what these are you will need to contact your ISP.

6) Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Submit All Changes" .

7.) Your Linksys 2102 phone adapter will reboot now. (this will take about 5 seconds). Close the browser.

8.) Pull out the power supply plug from your Linksys 2102 phone adapter. Wait 10 seconds, and then plug the power supply back into the adapter. The yellow STAT light will blink for up to one minute. Wait until both the yellow STAT and the Green ( lights are illuminated and have stopped blinking.

9.) Check for Internet access now.
