Manually Assigning a Static IP Address

Members using static IP on their home network may wish to configure the adap-

tor with static IP. If you have obtained a static IP from your internet service

provider (ISP) and wish to configure your adaptor with your static IP settings,

please follow the instructions below:

1. You will first have to obtain the following information:

• IP Address • Default Gateway • Subnet Mask.

If you are using a router, please contact your router manufacturer for

instructions for retrieving this information from the router directly. If you

are not using a router, please obtain the above information from your ISP.

2. Pick up the telephone receiver of the phone connected to the adaptor,

and dial * * * *. You will hear a voice prompt saying “Linksys configuration

menu”.

3. Press the keys 1 0 1 # on your analog phone to access the Static IP

configuration menu.

4. Press 0 # to disable DHCP, then press 1 to save the setting.

5. Press 1 1 1 # to access the IP Address Menu.

6. Enter your IP Address followed by # (i.e. 1 2 3 * 4 5 * 6 7 * 8 9 # to

represent the IP 123.45.67.89). Press 1 to save the setting.

7. Press 1 3 1 # to access the Default Gateway Menu.

8. Enter your Default Gateway (i.e. 1 2 3 * 4 5 * 6 7 * 8 9 # to represent the

Gateway 123.45.67.89). Press 1 to save the setting.

9. Press 1 2 1 # to access the Subnet Mask Menu.

10. Enter your Subnet Mask (i.e. 2 5 5 * 2 5 5 * 2 5 5 * 0 # to represent

Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0). Press 1 to save the setting.

You have now completed the static IP configuration.

To verify the configuration was correct, please pick up the telephone receiver

on the phone connected to the ATA, and dial * * * * to enter the Linksys

configuration menu. Dial 1 1 0 # to hear the adaptor read back the IP ad-

dress that you have configured. If the IP read out is not the same as what

you have entered in, please repeat steps 1 through 10 once again to ensure

the settings.
