Make sure you have the following things before you start:
•INTERNET ACCESS: You need an Internet account with an ISP
(Internet Service Provider) and information such as your user name,
password, and so on.
•VoIP ACCOUNT: If you wish to make phone calls over the Internet,
you need the account information provided by your VoIP service
provider (the company that lets you make phone calls over the

1. Do one of the following for your Internet connection:
a. DSL: For P-2812HNU(L)-F1, the port is RJ-11; for P-2812HNU(L)-
F3, the port is RJ-45. Use a telephone wire to connect this port to
a telephone jack (or the DSL/MODEM jack on a splitter, if you
have one).
b. WAN: If you have a DSL router or modem already installed in your
network, use an Ethernet cable to connect this port to an
Ethernet jack in the modem with Internet access.
2. FXO (for “L” models only): You need a splitter to use the FXO port.
Use a PSTN line cable to connect the TEL (or PHONE) jack on a
splitter to this port.
3. USB 2.0: There are two USB ports on your P-2812HNU(L)-Fx Series,
one is at the back panel and one is at the side panel. You can do the
following:
a. Use a USB cable (not provided) to connect a USB device
(version 2.0 or lower) such as USB hard drive or printer for file or
printer sharing.
b. Insert a 3G adapter to access the Internet wirelessly via a 3G
network. The P-2812HNU(L)-Fx Series uses this 3G WAN
connection as a backup when the DSL/Ethernet WAN connection
fails.
4. ETHERNET: If you want a wired connection to the P-2812HNU(L)-Fx
Series, use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to one of these
ports for initial configuration and/or Internet access.
5. PHONE: To make calls over the Internet, use a telephone cable (and
any telephone adaptor provided with your P-2812HNU(L)-Fx Series)
to connect a telephone to the PHONE 1 or PHONE 2 port. If you only
have one telephone, you should use PHONE 1.
