Installation with a Multiple Computer

Note: This configuration only allows the Phone Adapter to prioritize your voice traffic over the computers that are connected to the PC port of the Phone adapters. Some routers offer their own Quality of Service option that can prioritize voice traffic over all other computers.

1. Disconnect the power from all devices on your network. This includes your Cable/DSL modem, router, and computers.
   
   
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the Cable/DSL modem's Ethernet port to the WAN port on the router.
   
   
3. Connect an Ethernet cable from any LAN port on the router to each of the WAN ports on the Phone Adapters.
   
   
4. Connect a telephone to the LINE 1 port of each Phone Adapter using a standard phone line. If you have activated LINE 2 for phone or fax service, you may also connect a telephone or fax machine at this time.
   
   
5. Connect the appropriate Power cable to the Cable/DSL modem.
   
   
6. Wait about two minutes for the Cable/DSL modem to boot up before continuing.
   
   
7. Connect the appropriate Power cable to the router.
   
   
8. Wait about two minutes for the router to boot up before continuing.
   
   
9. Connect a Power cable provided with the Phone Adapter to the POWER port of a Phone Adapter.
   
   
10. Wait at least five minutes for the Phone Adapter to boot up. The Phone Adapter's green power light will blink in sequence until it has fully connected to the Vonage network. There may be updates that need to be downloaded such as new firmware or changes to your features. Do not interrupt the configuration process by unplugging the power or lifting the receiver on your phone during the startup process. Interruption of the startup may result in interruption of service.
    
    
11. Once the Phone Adapter's green power light is solid green, the Phone Adapter is ready to use.
    
    
12. Pick up your telephone receiver and listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, you have finished the installation and can begin making calls.
    
    
13. Repeat steps 9 through 12 for each phone adapter you will be connecting.
    
    
14. Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN ports on the router to each of your computers. If you do not have any available LAN ports on the router, you can connect your PC's to the PC Port on each Phone Adapter. Power up each computer.
