3. Connect Category 5 or better Ethernet cables from the RG230’s LAN ports to
the network ports of your PCs. Alternatively, you can connect the LAN ports to
an Ethernet switch or other devices. Make sure the length of each cable does
not exceed 100 meters (328 ft).
If your PCs are powered on, the RJ-45 LAN port LEDs on the RG230 should
turn on to indicate valid links.
4. Connect one or two standard (analog) telephone sets to the RG230’s VoIP
ports using standard telephone cable with RJ-11 plugs.
The RG230 enables VoIP calls to be made through the unit using a standard
(analog) telephone set connected to a VoIP port, or from PCs or other network
devices connected to the LAN ports. Standard Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
technology is used to make VoIP calls. You must access the web interface and
configure settings for your SIP service provider before being able to make VoIP
calls.
5. Use your PC’s web browser to access the unit’s management interface and run
the Setup Wizard to make any configuration changes. For more information,
see Chapter 3, “Initial Configuration.”
Note: If you use an optional external WiMAX antenna with the unit, be sure to access
the web management interface and configure the RG230 to use the correct
antenna. See “Antenna Setting” on page 6-4 for more information.
