to the Ethernet port on your cable or DSL modem.

power cord can damage the broadband telephone.

If you receive Internet access through a Cable modem, you may need to register
the IP8100 series phone with your ISP. Please contact them to update your
information; you will likely need your WAN MAC address, which is located on
the bottom of the base. Once your ISP has updated your account, proceed to
step 9.
