Common Problems and Solutions
1.
I don’t hear a dial tone, and the PHONE1 (or PHONE2) LED is not lit.
Go through this checklist until your problem is solved:
•
Make sure the telephone is plugged into the appropriate port, Phone 1 or Phone 2.
•
Disconnect and re-connect the RJ-11 telephone cable between the Router and telephone.
•
Make sure your telephone is set to its tone setting (not pulse).
•
Make sure your network has an active Internet connection. Try to access the Internet, and check to see if
the Router’s Internet LED is lit. If you do not have a connection, power off your network devices, including
the Router and cable/DSL modem. Wait 30 seconds, and power on the cable/DSL modem first. Then
power on the Router and other network devices.
•
Verify your account information and confirm that the phone line is registered with babyTEL.

The Status - Voice screen of the Web-based Utility says that the registration for my Internet phone
line has failed.

I’m trying to access the Router’s Web-based Utility, but I do not see the login screen. Instead, I see a
screen saying, “404 Forbidden.”
If you are using Windows Explorer, perform the following steps until you see the Web-based Utility’s login
screen (Netscape Navigator will require similar steps):
1.
Click
