2. Installing the base unit
Ô
2-B  While you are at home
The base unit has 2 modes of operation for use at home: AP (Bridge) mode 
and Router mode.
–  AP (Bridge) mode is designed for the case when you have an existing 
router or modem (cable or DSL) with a built-in router. 
–  Router mode is designed for the case when you only have a standard 
cable or DSL modem.
With an EXISTING ROUTER or MODEM with a built-in 
ROUTER   

If you install the base unit with your existing router or modem with a 
built-in router, the base unit should be set to AP (Bridge) mode. Select 
[AP (Bridge)]  for your connection mode in Initialization Setup (3-A on 
page 6). In AP (Bridge) mode, the base unit connects wireless devices to 
one another and to the LAN, and allows wireless devices to use a DHCP  
server on the LAN. In most cases, routers are equipped with the function 
as the DHCP server.

network devices (including wireless devices) as a DHCP server. It also 
protects the network devices from being directly exposed to the W AN. For 
your connection mode, select  [DHCP], [Static] or [PPPoE] in Initialization 
Setup (3-A on page 6).

8Troubleshooting
ProblemCause/solution
I cannot make a call. •  Confirm the Ethernet cable is properly 
connected (pages 2-5).
•  If you cannot access Internet Web pages using  your computer, check to see if your Internet 
service provider is having connection problems 
in your area.
•  Double-check your device connections against  the installation instructions (pages 2-5). The 
order in which you turn on the devices is very 
important.
•  Many installation issues can be resolved by 
resetting all the equipment. First, power down 
your modem, base unit, router (if you have 
one), and computer. Then, turn the devices 
back on one at a time in this order: modem, 
router, base unit, computer. If you use the 
PPPoE connection, it may take a few minutes 
or more to reset the PPPoE connection.
