Overview
The P-2812HNU-51c is a router which combines high-speed VDSL/
ADSL Internet access, a built-in switch, a firewall and high-speed
wireless networking capability. It also has two USB 2.0 ports for sharing
files via a USB compatible storage device and two phone ports for
making calls over the Internet (Voice over IP or VoIP).
Requirements
Make sure you have the following things before you start.
• Internet access - account information provided by your ISP, such as
user name, password, and so on.
• VoIP account - You need the account information provided by your
VoIP service provider (the company that lets you make phone calls
over the Internet).
• Internet Explorer 6.0 or later versions, with JavaScript enabled.

1. Do one of the following for your Internet connection:
a. DSL: Use a telephone wire to connect this port to a telephone jack
(or the DSL or MODEM jack on a splitter, if you have one).
b. WAN: If you have a DSL router or modem already in your network
or you want to use a cable modem, push the DSL/WAN switch to
the WAN side and use an Ethernet cable to connect this port to an
Ethernet jack with Internet access.
2. ETHERNET: Use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to one of
these ports for initial configuration and/or Internet access.
3. USB 2.0: Connect a USB (version 2.0 or lower) memory stick or a
USB hard drive for file sharing. The P-2812HNU-51c automatically
detects the USB device. Use a USB extension cable if the stick is too
big to fit.
4. PHONE: Use a telephone cable (and any telephone adaptor provided
with your P-2812HNU-51c) to connect a telephone to the PHONE 1
or PHONE 2 port. If you only have one telephone, you should use
port 1.
5. Use the power adaptor provided with your P-2812HNU-51c to
connect an appropriate power source to this socket.
6. Push the power button to the on position.

Look at the LEDs (lights) on the rear panel of the
P-2812HNU-51c.
• The PWR/SYS light blinks during start-up and
is green once the P-2812HNU-51c is ready.
• An ETHERNET light turns on if the
corresponding ETHERNET port is properly
connected. An Ethernet port’s light blinks
when the P-2812HNU-51c is sending or
receiving data through it.
• The WLAN/WPS light stays green when the
wireless LAN is ready. It blinks when the P-
2812HNU-51c is sending/receiving data
through the wireless LAN.
• The DSL light stays on if a physical DSL
connection exists and blinks when
transmitting data.
The WAN light stays on if this port is properly
connected and blinks when transmitting data.
The INTERNET light is green when Internet
access is available.
• The PHONE lights stay on when your SIP
account is registered and they blink if the
receiver is off the hook.
• The USB light turns on when there is a USB device connected to
the P-2812HNU-51c and blinks when transmitting data.

 If no lights are on, check your connections. Make sure that
you have the power adaptor connected to the P-2812HNU-
51c and plugged in to an appropriate power source. Make
sure the power source is turned on. Turn the P-2812HNU-
51c off, wait for a few seconds and turn it back on. If the
LEDs are still off, contact your local vendor.

See your User's Guide for how to use the VoIP > SIP screen to set up
your VoIP account if the INTERNET light is green but the PHONE light is
off.
If the PHONE light is on, skip to Using Your Phones on page 13 to see
how to make calls through the Internet.
See your User’s Guide for how to use the Network > WAN screens to
set up the WAN connection:

the INTERNET light is off.
• If the DSL/WAN switch set to WAN and the WAN light is on but
the INTERNET light is off.
Set Up a Wireless Network
To set up a wireless network you need at least one wireless network
card/adapter.
• If you have a desktop computer, use either a wireless USB adapter
or a wireless PCI adapter.

could use your P-2812HNU-51c to access your network and the Internet.
See the User’s Guide for how to configure wireless security settings.
Setting Up a Wireless Network with WPS
If your wireless devices display the WPS logo, you
can use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) to add
wireless devices to your wireless network. If your
wireless devices do not display the WPS logo, go to
Set Up a Wireless Network Manually on page 11 to manually set up a
wireless network.
The P-2812HNU-51c supports two WPS methods for creating a secure
connection.

simply by pressing the P-2812HNU-51c’s physical WPS button.
See Push Button Configuration on page 9.
• PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network by entering
your wireless device’s PIN (Personal Identification Number) into the
configuration screen of the P-2812HNU-51c. See PIN Configuration
on page 10.
You must use the same method on the P-2812HNU-51c and the wireless
client.

pressed first. You must press the second
button within two minutes of pressing the
first one.
4. The P-2812HNU-51c and the wireless device establish a secure
