This section explains how to use the Interactive Voice Response Menu to
configure the Gateway’s network settings. You will use the telephone’s keypad
to enter your commands and select choices, and the Gateway will use voice
responses.
To access the Interactive Voice Response Menu:
Use a telephone connected to the PHONE port of the Gateway. (You can
only access the Interactive Voice Response Menu through an analog
telephone, not any of the Internet phones.)
Press **** (in other words, press the star key four times).
Wait until you hear the“Linksys configuration menu—please enter the
option followed by the # (pound) key or hang up to exit” response.
Refer to the following table that lists actions, commands, menu choices, and
descriptions. After you select an option, press the # (pound) key. To exit the
menu, hang up the telephone.
Using the Interactive Voice Response Menu
While entering a value, such as an IP address, you may exit without entering any
changes. Press the * (star) key twice within half a second. Otherwise, the * will
be treated as a decimal point or dot.
After entering a value, such as an IP address, press the # (pound) key to indicate
you have finished your selection. To save the new setting, press 1. To review the
new setting, press 2. To re-enter the new setting, press 3. To cancel your entry
and return to the main menu, press * (star).
For example, to enter the IP address 191.168.1.105 by keypad, press these keys:
191*168*1*105. Press the # (pound) key to indicate that you have finished
entering the IP address. Then press 1 to save the IP address or press the * (star)
key to cancel your entry and return to the main menu.
If the menu is inactive for more than one minute, the Gateway will time out. You
will need to re-enter the menu by pressing ****.
The settings you have saved will take effect after you hang up the telephone.
The Gateway may reboot at this time.
