E6501S to your cable or DSL modem and your PC(s).
• Chapter 3: Setup the Handset – this chapter covers how to setup your handset
for use with the E6501S.
• Chapter 4: Configure your PC – this chapter covers how to configure your PC

Chapter 2: Connect the E6501S
Overview
The rear panel of the E6501S base is where both power adaptor and Ethernet cables are
connected:
LAN The LAN (Local Area Network) port is where you
connect the cable to your PC.
WAN The WAN (Wide Area Network) port is where you
connect the cable to your cable or DSL modem.
7V DC The 7V DC port is where you connect the cable from
your 7V switching adapter.
The best way to connect the E6501S depends upon your pre-existing network
configuration. If you don’t already own a router, or if your cable/DSL modem has an
integrated router, you should use the configuration shown below for connecting your
E6501S.

- Page 12 -
If you already own a router and you would like to continue using it, it is possible to put
E6501S in a series connection with the existing router as shown in below diagram.

- Page 13 -
Connecting Your Hardware Together
1. Before you begin, make sure all of the hardware you will be connecting is
powered off.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the DSL or Cable modem (which may have an
integrated router) to the WAN port on the back of the E6501S.
3. If you have a PC to connect to the E6501S, connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN
port on the back of the E6501S and the other end of the cable to the LAN port on
your PC’s Ethernet adapter.
4. If you have an existing Router you would like to continue to use, connect one end
of an Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the back of the E6501S and the other
end of the cable to one of the LAN ports on the router.
5. Make sure all devices are properly connected. Connect the power connector from
your 7V switching adapter to the port labeled “7V DC” on the back of the E6501S.
Plug the adapter into a wall outlet.
6. Power on the other devices that you have connected.
Your E6501S is now ready for configuration (Chapter 4), but first you will need to setup
and begin charging the handset.

Chapter 3: Setup the Handset
Follow these steps to install your battery and attach the optional belt clip:
1. Open the battery compartment by sliding the cover down.
2. Plug the Battery Pack connector into the Handset socket, then place the battery
pack and wires in the compartment.
3. Slide the battery cover back into place.
4. Place the handset in the base unit to begin charging. The unit should charge for
12 hours before first use. Note that it is normal for the battery compartment area
to become warm during charging.

Chapter 4: Configure your PC
Overview
The instructions in this chapter will help you configure each of your computers to be able
to communicate with the E6501S. If you are re-using an existing router, please skip ahead
to the section, “Connect E6501S behind an existing router” later in this chapter.
To communicate with the router in the E6501S, your PCs must be configured to obtain an
IP address automatically from the E6501S. This IP address helps the computer
communicate across the Internet. It is quite likely that your computers are already
configured that way, but the following instructions will help you make sure that is true.
Find out what operating system your computers are using and skip ahead to the
appropriate section of this chapter that applies to you. You can find out what operating
system you are running, such as Windows 95, 98, Millennium, 2000, or XP by:
