Lingo Advanced with Multiple Computers (Alternate Method)*

NOTE: If you currently use a USB connection between your computer and your Cable/DSL modem, you will need to upgrade to an Ethernet connection. This may require you to purchase and install a Network Interface Card (NIC) for your computer.

This is not the preferred method for connecting your network to Lingo's Internet phone service. This set up does not allow your Lingo Phone Adapter to prioritize your voice traffic over your data traffic. This may adversely effect the consistency of your call quality.

What you will need:

• One Ethernet cable (a green one is included in your start-up kit).
• One standard phone line (two are included in your start-up kit).
• One standard analog phone.
• The Lingo Phone Adapter.
• The Lingo Phone Adapter power supply.
• Optional: a second Ethernet cable is needed if attaching a device to the Lingo Phone Adapter’s ENET port.

1. Turn off the power for all the devices on your network, including your Cable/DSL modem to your Internet connection, and computer.
   
   
2. Connect an Ethernet cable (the green one included with your Lingo Phone Adapter or another cable just like it) from the Cable/DSL modem’s Ethernet port to the WAN port on your router.
   
   
3. Connect an Ethernet cable from an unused LAN port on your router, to the WAN port on the back of your Lingo Phone Adapter. (Note: if all ports are taken replace an existing device’s connection with an Ethernet connection to the Lingo Phone Adapter, then connect an Ethernet cable from the ENET port on the back of the Lingo Phone Adapter to the Ethernet port on the replaced device.)
   
   
4. Connect a standard analog telephone to the PH1 port on the back of the Lingo Phone Adapter using a standard phone line. (Note: any phone designed for residential use is an analog phone and will work with Lingo to make Internet phone calls. For cordless phone systems, make sure you are plugging in the base/transmitter).
   
   
5. Turn on the Cable/DSL modem to your Internet connection. Wait until it is successfully connected to the Internet (see your modem’s user manual or contact your ISP if you are unsure of how to tell when the modem is connected to the Internet).
   
   
6. Turn on the router and wait for the WAN port to establish a connection to the Internet (see your router’s accompanying documentation for how to verify a WAN connection).
   
   
7. Connect provided power cable to the POWER port on the back of the Lingo Phone Adapter, connect other end to any standard home power-source (wall plug, surge-protector, etc).
   
   
8. Verify the green POWER light on the front of the Lingo Phone Adapter is a steady green. If it is not, check your power connection again.
   
   
9. The WAN light on the front of the Lingo Phone Adapter will begin as a steady green, then start flashing as it connects to the internet (you may hear a soft “click” sound. This is normal).
   
   
10. While the WAN light is blinking, important files are downloading. Do not unplug the power or lift the receiver on your phone at this time, as it may cause you to lose service.
    
    
11. Once the green VOIP light is on, you are ready to place calls through your Internet phone system. Pick up your phone's receiver. The PH1 light should be a steady green and you should hear dial tone. You have finished the voice portion of installation and can begin making calls with your Internet phone service (Note: when you hang up the receiver, the PH1 light will turn off).
    
    
12. Turn on your computers and other network devices. After the operating systems load, use a web browser to verify that you can access your internet service.
