Resetting All of Your Equipment
You can resolve many installation issues by resetting all of your equipment.
To reset all of your equipment:
1
Turn off your computer, VT2442 voice gateway, router (if you have one), and DSL or cable modem.
2
Turn the devices back on, one at a time, in this order:
•
Modem
•
Router (if present)
•
VT2442
•
Computer
Replacing an Existing Router with the VT2442
You can connect up to four computers directly to the VT2442 Ethernet ports. It may be easiest to have only a
single router — the one built in to your VT2442 — on your home network.
1
Shut down your computers properly. Follow the instructions provided with the computers.
2
Unplug your cable or DSL modem power cord or adapter.
3
Unplug your router.
4
Disconnect any cables connecting your router to the modem. Please leave your modem connected to
the cable or phone line that provides your Internet connection.
Hint: Your modem should remain off for about 10 minutes to “clear its memory” so it can recognize the
VT2442 when you turn it back on. You can continue with the installation during this time.
You must connect a phone
to the Phone 1 port
Optional phone for a second
line ordered from Vonage
To AC power
Cable or DSL modem
