The UIP1868P can function as your primary gateway/router or as a client 
within an existing network configuration.
If you currently have broadband access and a gateway/router installed at 
your location, you may add the UIP1868P as a client to your network.  If 
you currently have broadband internet access and do not have a router, 
you may install your UIP1868P as the primary router to your network. 

Plug one end of  the enclosed Ethernet cable into the WAN port on the 
back of the UIP1868P. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into your 
router/gateway which is connected to your  broadband modem.

The UIP1868P supports the two most common broadband connection 
protocols: DHCP (most common connection type found with Cable 
Modem)  and PPPoE (most DSL providers use this connection type). 



  Setting up with DHCP

The UIP1868P is configured for use with Dynamic Host Configuration 
Protocol (DHCP) by default.  If your broadband connection uses DHCP, 
simply connect your phone's WAN port to your broadband modem 
and then connect the phone’s power cord to an AC power outlet.



  Setting up with PPPoE

If your broadband connection uses PPPoE, you will need to configure 
the UIP 1868P built-in router by inputting the user name and 
password provided by your Internet Service Provider.  Follow the steps 
below to configure the UIP1868P to use a PPPoE-based connection.

   

a)  Connect a 

computer with a 
web browser 
directly to the LAN 
port of your 
UIP1868P.  

 

 b)  Type http://192.168.15.1 

(the default IP address of 
your UIP1868P) into the 
address bar of your web 
browser. Then press the 
Enter key. (See Figure #1)

 

 c)  You should now see your 

UIP1868P’s System 
Information Screen. 
(See Figure #2)

 

 d)  In the menu bar down the left 

side of the screen, select WAN.

 

 e)  In the menu bar on the top of 

the screen, select PPPoE. This
