Placing the Phone Adapter
Placing the Phone Adapter
There are two ways to place the Phone Adapter. The first way is to place the Phone Adapter horizontally on a
surface. The second way is to mount the Phone Adapter on a wall. The wall-mount option is explained in further
detail below.
Wall-Mount Option
The Phone Adapter has two wall-mount slots on its back panel. The distance between the two slots is 58 mm
(2.28 inches).
1.
Determine where you want to mount the Phone Adapter.
2.
Drill two holes into the wall. Make sure the holes are 58 mm (2.28 inches) apart.
3.
Insert a screw into each hole, and leave 5 mm (0.2 inches) of its head exposed.
4.
Maneuver the Phone Adapter so the wall-mount slots line up with the two screws.
5.
Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the Phone Adapter down until the screws fit snugly into
the wall-mount slots.
Congratulations! The installation of the Phone Adapter is complete.

Chapter 5: Using the Interactive Voice Response Menu
Overview
Chapter 5: Using the Interactive Voice Response Menu
Overview
You may need to manually configure the Phone Adapter by entering the settings provided by your Internet
Telephony Service Provider (ITSP). This chapter explains how to use the Interactive Voice Response Menu to
configure the Phone Adapter’s network settings. You will use the telephone’s keypad to enter your commands
and select choices, and the Phone Adapter will use voice responses.
For more advanced configuration, refer to “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility.”
Accessing the Interactive Voice Response Menu
1.
Use a telephone connected to one of the Phone Adapter’s PHONE ports. (You can only access the Interactive
Voice Response Menu through an analog telephone, not any of the Internet phones.)
2.
Press
****
(in other words, press the star key four times).
3.
Wait until you hear “Linksys configuration menu. Please enter the option followed by the # (pound) key or
hang up to exit.”
4.
Refer to the following table that lists actions, commands, menu choices, and descriptions. After you select
an option, press the
#
(pound) key. To exit the menu, hang up the telephone.
NOTE:
If your ITSP sent you the Phone Adapter, then it may be pre-configured for you, and you do
not need to change any settings. Refer to the instructions supplied by your service provider for more
information.
