Now plug your modem’s power cord back into an electrical
power outlet.
NOTE: You should allow enough time for your modem to complete its
start-up process. If you’re unsure about how long this takes, consult
the manual that came with your modem. Typical modem start-up takes
60 seconds.
7. Next, using the power cord that came with your Vonage kit,
plug the smaller end of the power cord into the circular
power port on the back of the Vonage Device. Then, plug the
larger end of the power cord into an electrical power outlet.
NOTE: Before continuing, the “Power” and “Internet” lights on the front
of the Vonage Device should both turn on. Wait until the “Power” light
stops blinking and both “Power” and “Phone 1” lights are solid. The
“Phone 2” light will be solid if you have a second Vonage line. Otherwise,
it will not light. The “Internet” light will flicker whenever there is
communication activity.

If your Internet connection doesn’t work and
you have a Cable modem:
1.
Unplug the modem for at least 10 minutes. If left off for less
than 10 minutes, it might still “remember” old information
that could prevent it from working properly.
2.
If your Internet connection still does not work, you may
need to register your Vonage Device with your cable
provider. You will need the 12 character WAN MAC ID
located on the bottom of the Vonage Device.
If your Internet connection doesn't work and
you have a DSL modem:
1. On your computer, open a Web browser. In the Address
field, type http://192.168.15.1 (the default IP address
of the VT2542 Home Page) and press Enter. A login
window appears.

and click Log In. The HOME page is displayed.

include a router.) Click the SETUP tab, then WAN
Configuration. From the Type drop-down list, choose PPPoE.
4. In the Username and Password fields, type the username
and password you normally use to login to your DSL service.
If you don’t have your DSL login information, please contact
your ISP and obtain the DSL username/password.
