NOTE: To the left of the Ethernet port on the Envoy, you will notice a
port identified by a USB symbol. Ignore this port as it is not currently
used.
4. Plug the Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 port on the Envoy, and plug the other
end of the cable into a spare port on the broadband router. The Ethernet
cable is manufactured with a torroid molded onto the cable approximately 7”
from one of the RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 connector nearest the torroid
should be connected to the Envoy gateway RJ-45 port.
This cable doesn’t need to plug directly into a router. It could also connect to
a normal LAN (Local Area Network) connection as it needs only to be able to
obtain a DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) IP address and have a path to
the Internet. The Envoy will only search for a DHCP IP address during power
up sequence.
5. Watch the LCD display for progress. Refer to Normal Operation on page 17 for
more information.
Relocating the Envoy
If you ever lose power, or need to relocate the Envoy to somewhere else on the
premises, just plug it in (if not already done) and let the Envoy start up again. It will
resume operation when power and internet connection are restored.
