The Front Panel
The Router’s LEDs, which inform you about network activities, are located on the front panel.
POWER
Blue/Red. The
POWER
LED lights up blue when the Router is powered on. If the blue LED is
flashing, the Router is booting up or upgrading its firmware. If the LED lights up red, then
disconnect the power, and wait five seconds. Then reconnect the power.

ETHERNET
LED lights up when there is an active connection through the
corresponding port. If the LED is flashing, then there is traffic moving through that port.

registered connection to babyTEL through the corresponding port (PHONE 1 or 2).
It flashes when the phone is being used or is off the hook.

Placement Options
Placement Options
There are two ways to place the Router. The first way is to place it horizontally on a surface, so it sits on its four
rubber feet. The second way is to mount it on a wall. This option uses the Router’s four wall-mount slots on its
bottom panel. The distance between two adjacent slots is 62 mm (2.44 inches).
To use the wall-mount option, follow these instructions:
1.
Make sure you have four screws that are size #4—this indicates a diameter measurement of 2.845 mm
(0.112 inches).
2.
Determine where you want to mount the Router.
3.
Drill four holes into the wall. Make sure adjacent holes are 62 mm (2.44 inches) apart.
4.
Insert a screw into each hole, and leave 5 mm (0.2 inches) of its head exposed.
5.
Maneuver the Router so the wall-mount slots line up with the four screws.
6.
Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the Router down until the screws fit snugly into the
wall-mount slots.
Proceed to “Chapter 5: Configuring the Router.”
