Broadband Phone Adapter
Chapter 1: Introduction - Welcome
USER GUIDE
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing Broadband Phone Service. The Broadband Phone Adapter Qwest has provided to you will allow your
computers to share a broadband Internet connection as well as resources, including files and printers. And, after you have
set up your Broadband Phone, you will be able to make phone calls using the Internet.
How does the Broadband Phone Adapter do all of this? By connecting your computers and peripherals, including phones, to
the Broadband Phone Adapter and connecting the Broadband Phone Adapter to your broadband (DSL) or cable modem, the
Broadband Phone Adapter can direct and control communications for your network. Each of the Broadband Phone Adapter’s
two telephone jacks can operate independently, with separate phone service and phone numbers, so you can have up to
two Broadband Phone Service lines per Adapter.
But what does all of this mean?
Networks are useful tools for sharing Internet access and computer resources. Multiple computers can share Internet
access, so you don’t need more than one broadband connection. With Broadband Phone Service, your Internet access can
now be shared by your phones as well. You will be able to make phone calls using the account you set up with Qwest, even
while you’re surfing the Internet. Plus, you can access one printer from different computers and access data located on
another computer’s hard drive. Networks are even used for playing multiplayer video games. So, networks not only are
useful, but also can be fun.
network: a series of computers or devices
connected for the purpose of data sharing,
storage, and/or transmission between users.
ethernet: an IEEE standard network protocol
that specifies how data is placed on and
retrieved from a common transmission
medium.
lan (local area network): the computers and
networking products that make up the network
in your home or office.

Broadband Phone Adapter
Chapter 2: Networking Basics - An Introduction to Local Area Networks
USER GUIDE
Chapter 2: Networking Basics
An Introduction to Local Area Networks
Simply put, a router is a network device that connects two networks together.
The Broadband Phone Adapter connects your local area network (LAN), or a group of PCs in your home, to the Internet. The
Broadband Phone Adapter processes and regulates the data that travels between these two networks.
The Use of IP Addresses
IP stands for Internet Protocol. Every device in an IP-based network, including PCs, print servers, and routers, requires an IP
address to identify its location, or address, on the network. This applies to both the Internet and LAN connections.
There are two ways of assigning IP addresses to your network devices.
A static IP address is a fixed IP address that you assign manually to a PC or other device on the network. Since a static IP
address remains valid until you disable it, static IP addressing ensures that the device assigned it will always have that same IP
address until you change it. Static IP addresses are commonly used with network devices such as server PCs or print servers.
If you use the Broadband Phone Adapter to share your broadband or cable Internet connection, contact your ISP to find out
if they have assigned a static IP address to your account. If so, you will need that static IP address when configuring the
Broadband Phone Adapter.
ip (internet protocol): a protocol used to
send data over a network.
ip address: the address used to identify a
computer or device on a network.
static ip address: a fixed address assigned
to a computer or device that is connected to
a network.
4

Broadband Phone Adapter
Chapter 2: Networking Basics - The Use of IP Addresses
USER GUIDE
A dynamic IP address is automatically assigned to a device on the network. These IP addresses are called dynamic because
they are only temporarily assigned to the PC or other device. After a certain time period, they expire and may change. If a
PC logs onto the network (or the Internet) and its dynamic IP address has expired, the DHCP server will assign it a new
dynamic IP address.
A DHCP server can either be a designated PC on the network or another network device, such as the Broadband Phone
Adapter. By default, the Broadband Phone Adapter’s Internet Connection Type is DHCP (obtain an IP address automatically).
The PC or network device obtaining an IP address is called the DHCP client. DHCP frees you from having to assign IP
addresses manually every time a new user is added to your network.
PPPoE
Devices that connect to Qwest®Broadband Subscriber Service do not use PPPoE. Do not use the steps
described below if you are connecting your Broadband Phone Service to Qwest Broadband Subscriber Service.
For broadband (DSL) users, many ISPs may require you to log on with a user name and password to gain access to the
Internet. This is a dedicated, broadband connection type called Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). PPPoE is
similar to a dial-up connection, but PPPoE does not dial a phone number when establishing a connection. It also will provide
the Broadband Phone Adapter with a dynamic IP address to establish a connection to the Internet.
Note: By default, a DHCP server (on the LAN side) is enabled on the Phone Adapter. You should only run one DHCP server
on your network. If you run more than one DHCP server on your network, you will experience network errors, such as
conflicting IP addresses. To disable DHCP on the Phone Adapter, see the Router - LAN Setup section in “Chapter 5: Using
the Web-based Utility.”
dynamic ip address: a temporary IP address
assigned by a DHCP server.
dhcp (dynamic host configuration
protocol): a protocol that lets one device on a
local network, known as a DHCP server, assign
temporary IP addresses to the other network
devices, typically computers.

USER GUIDE
The Front Panel
The Broadband Phone Adapter’s LEDs, which inform you about network activities, are located on the front panel.
Power Green. The Power LED lights up when the Broadband Phone Adapter is powered on and connected to
the Internet. It flashes when the Broadband Phone Adapter is not connected to the Internet. The LED also
flashes when the Broadband Phone Adapter is booting up or upgrading its firmware.
The Power LED is red at “power on” for a short period of time while the device performs the power on self
test. Once the device successfully completes the power on self test the Power LED changes to green.
INTERNET Green. The INTERNET LED lights up when there is an active connection through the port. If the LED is
flashing, then there is traffic moving through that port.
PHONE 1/2 Green. The PHONE LED is solidly lit when a telephone has an active or registered connection to your
Broadband Phone Service through the corresponding port. It flashes when the phone is being used or is
off the hook.
