SET UP YOUR ATA

To set up your ATA:
1. Connect the ATA to your Ethernet port by plugging one end of an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) into the
back of the ATA and the other end into a broadband router or LAN port.
2. Connect your telephone into the ATA by plugging a standard RJ-11 telephone cable from your
phone into the ATA's Phone1 port.
To connect another telephone, plug a standard RJ-11 telephone cable from the second phone into the
ATA's Phone2 port.
3. Power on the ATA by plugging its power supply into an AC outlet and then plugging the power
cable into the power supply port on the back of the ATA. The ATA will power on, and the button on
top of the ATA will begin to blink.

CONFIGURE AN IP ADDRESS

In order to properly set up your CafeFone account and network settings, your ATA must be assigned an IP
address.
Your ATA's IP address can be dynamic (DHCP) or static. To configure your ATA for DHCP, continue to the
next section, DHCP Configuration. To configure your ATA with a static IP address, skip to the Static IP
Configuration section on page 2.
