Fig. 1 Fig. 2
  1. Unpack your Linksys RT31P2 Router/ATA. We have pre-configured the device for you.
  2. Plug out the Internet/ WAN cable from your computer, and plug it into the Internet port on the RT31P2. This is the port on the far left (labelled A in Fig.1 above). The internet cable should run from the Internet port on the RT31P2 to the Ethernet port of the modem.
  3. Plug the cable (provided) from the LAN/ Ethernet port from any of the 3 Ethernet ports on the RT31P2 (labelled B in Fig.1 above) to the Ethernet port at the back of your computer. There is usually only one port of the correct size on the back of a computer. Do not connect the computer directly to the broadband modem using an Ethernet or USB cable - it HAS to be through the RT31P2. Otherwise, you will not be able to connect to the service or view the internet.
  4. Plug the RT31P2 into a power socket, using the plug provided.
  5. Plug your telephone into Line 1 on the RT31P2 (labelled B in Fig.1 above).
  6. When everything is connected (Fig. 2 above) switch off the RT31P2 and broadband modem (unplug power). Leave them switched off for 30 seconds then switch them back on and leave them for 5 to 7 minutes. This makes sure the settings are re-booted.
  7. At this point you should see all the lights (LEDs) on the RT31P2 glow green. To test your new phone system dial 303# (free talking clock) to check if you can hear the time.
  8. Do not reset the router. This will delete the settings required for the service to work.
