Chapter 1 Introduction
This chapter introduces the CT-811M VoIP Gateway. It includes a product overview,
description of the products features and applications, and explains the functions of
the Front panel LED indictors.
1.1 Product Overview
Standard telephones connect to the RJ-11 port (telephone jack) on the back of the
CT-811M, allowing calls to be routed to anywhere in the world – significantly
reducing or eliminating long distance charges. Your PCs connected to the CT-811M
don’t even have to be turned on to make calls. The CT-811M solves your entire
network and telephony needs in one integrated unit, which reduces the space
requirements, and cost of hardware and cabling. This makes the CT-811M the most
cost effective solution for your application.

Chapter 2 UI Explanation and Hardware
Installation
2.1 Back Panel
The figure below illustrates the back panel of the router. On the left side of the rear
panel, there is a reset button. This button is used to reload the factory default
settings. Use a small object like a ballpoint pen to press the button and hold it down
for over three seconds. The router will reset and all parameters will return to their
factory default settings. You can verify this process by monitoring the PHONE LED,
it will turn off and then on again as the router restarts.
2.2 Wiring Installation
The next figure illustrates the wiring connection process for the CT-811M.

 Note: If you have an installed ADSL connection, disconnect the RJ45 cable
from the back of your computer and connect to the WAN port of the CT-811M.
 Connect the power adapter to the POWER jack of the device, and then plug
the power adapter into the wall outlet.
 Connect the WAN port of the device (CT-811M) to the ADSL modem LAN port,
with an RJ45 connector cable.
 Connect the LAN port (1X- 3X) of the CT-811M to your PC (Ethernet port) or
hub with an RJ45 cable (supplied with the VoIP device).
 Connect the Phone 1 and Phone 2 port of the device to your analogue
telephone set with an RJ11 connector cable.
Note 1: If the device fails to power on, or it malfunctions, first verify that the power supply is
correctly connected, and then power it on again.

Chapter 3 Login via the Web Browser
This section describes how to manage the VoIP gateway via a Web browser from the
local or remote end. You can use a web browser such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer,
or Netscape Navigator. To configure the system, it is recommended that advanced
versions of the browsers be used, that provide full-length support for JavaScript. It
is best to set your display resolution to 1024 x 768. To change the resolution you can
go to the Microsoft Windows control panel and click on the Display icon, and change
the display settings. You will find the display settings there. A unique default user
account is assigned with user name root and password 1234. User can change
the default password later when logging on to the device.
2.1 IP Address
To log on to the device using a web browser, your workstation and the device should
both be on the same network segment. The default IP address is 192.168.1.101.
You can modify the IP address of your PC by modifying its TCP/IP. Enter the TCP/IP
screen under Microsoft Windows system and change the IP address to the domain of
192.168.1.x/24.
10

2.2 Login Procedure
To log on to the system from the Web browser, follow the steps below:
STEP 1: Start your Internet browser.
STEP 2: Type the IP address for the router in the Web address field. For example,
if the IP address is 192.168.1.101, type http://192.168.1.101
STEP 3: You will be prompted to enter your user name and password. Type the
password, or if the password was not changed, type the default passwords.
Then click OK. The default USER Name is root, and password 1234. The
user name and password are case-sensitive.
STEP 4: After successfully logging in, you will reach the main menu where you can
see menu of hyper links. All these links are mainly categorized into three
types: Basic, Advanced, and VoIP

4.3 WAN Setup
Click WAN Setup from the tool bar. The following information will be displayed:
The following are the common settings to set up these services.
Static IP address: ISP assigns you a static IP address, or IP address of the host
needs to be manually configured in your network.
DHCP mode: Obtain an IP address from ISP automatically, via DHCP protocol.
PPPoE mode: Some ISPs require the use of PPPoE to connect to their service.
15

Then click the WAN Setup button
The following information will be displayed:
4.3.1 Static IP address
Select WAN Setup in the Basic Menu. Then select Static IP address (the ISP
assigns you a static IP address, or an IP address of the hosts needs to be manually
configured in your network,) and click Next. The following screen will be displayed.
16

Fill in the parameters and click Next.
WAN IP address Enter the WAN IP address.
Subnet Mask The subnet mask of the selected interface.
Default Gateway The gateway IP address of the IP network
Primary DNS Server Enter the primary DNS server IP address.
Secondary DNS Server Enter the secondary DNS server IP address that will be
used in the event that the primary server IP address fails
or is not available.
4.3.2 DHCP Mode
Select WAN Setup in the Basic Menu. Then, select DHCP mode (obtains an IP
address from ISP automatically via DHCP protocol) and click Next. The following
screen will be displayed.
17

4.3.3 PPPoE
PPPoE provides session authentication using either Password Authentication
Protocol (PAP) or Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). Session
accounting is possible and conservation of bandwidth can be achieved by closing
down unused sessions. By utilizing PPP - link and network parameters are easily
negotiated between the IAD/Router and the ISP.
When using PPPoE, the system is assigned an IP address from the Internet Service
Provider as part of establishing the network connection. The system can be
configured as a DHCP server for LAN and NAT can be used to translate private
addresses to public addresses. In this way, computers in the LAN do not have to
have their own public IP addresses.
To set up PPPoE, select WAN Setup in the Basic Menu.
Enter your User name/Password (used for remote customers to login during
dialup) and click Apply.
18

4.4 LAN IP Address
The default LAN IP address is 192.168.1.101. Click LAN Setup from the menu bar
to configure the LAN IP address and subnet mask. The following screen will be
displayed.
Enter/select the parameters as explained below. Click Apply to submit the settings.
