- Page 11 -
Chapter 2: Connect the E6501S
Overview
The rear panel of the E6501S base is where both power adaptor and Ethernet cables are
connected:
LAN The LAN (Local Area Network) port is where you
connect the cable to your PC.
WAN The WAN (Wide Area Network) port is where you
connect the cable to your cable or DSL modem.
7V DC The 7V DC port is where you connect the cable from
your 7V switching adapter.
The best way to connect the E6501S depends upon your pre-existing network
configuration. If you don’t already own a router, or if your cable/DSL modem has an
integrated router, you should use the configuration shown below for connecting your
E6501S.
- Page 12 -
If you already own a router and you would like to continue using it, it is possible to put
E6501S in a series connection with the existing router as shown in below diagram.
- Page 13 -
Connecting Your Hardware Together
1. Before you begin, make sure all of the hardware you will be connecting is
powered off.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from the DSL or Cable modem (which may have an
integrated router) to the WAN port on the back of the E6501S.
3. If you have a PC to connect to the E6501S, connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN
port on the back of the E6501S and the other end of the cable to the LAN port on
your PC’s Ethernet adapter.
4. If you have an existing Router you would like to continue to use, connect one end
of an Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the back of the E6501S and the other
end of the cable to one of the LAN ports on the router.
5. Make sure all devices are properly connected. Connect the power connector from
your 7V switching adapter to the port labeled “7V DC” on the back of the E6501S.
Plug the adapter into a wall outlet.
6. Power on the other devices that you have connected.
Your E6501S is now ready for configuration (Chapter 4), but first you will need to setup

Chapter 4: Configure your PC
Overview
The instructions in this chapter will help you configure each of your computers to be able
to communicate with the E6501S. If you are re-using an existing router, please skip ahead
to the section, “Connect E6501S behind an existing router” later in this chapter.
To communicate with the router in the E6501S, your PCs must be configured to obtain an
IP address automatically from the E6501S. This IP address helps the computer
communicate across the Internet. It is quite likely that your computers are already
configured that way, but the following instructions will help you make sure that is true.
Find out what operating system your computers are using and skip ahead to the
appropriate section of this chapter that applies to you. You can find out what operating
system you are running, such as Windows 95, 98, Millennium, 2000, or XP by:
• Windows XP: Click on the Start button, then Control Panel then click on
System.
• All other Windows Operating Systems: Click on the Start button and then
Settings and then click on Control Panel. Finally double click on System.

Integrated Cable Modems/Routers
Some service providers are now providing an integrated modem/router with their service.
As long as the LAN ports on this router are configured to provide DHCP to devices that
are plugged into it, you can simply plug the E6501S into the modem/router and it should
work as the E6501S defaults to using DHCP on its WAN interface. If DHCP is not
enabled on the modem/router’s LAN port, it should be enabled so the E6501S is able to
obtain an IP address. If manual addressing is preferred, see Chapter 5 for information on
how to configure a static IP address on the E6501S’s WAN port.
Note that the voice quality provided by the E6501S when operating behind a router may
be diminished. It would be better to configure the integrated modem/router to act as a
bridge instead of a router, and let the E6501S act as the first router connected to your
service provider. See your integrated modem/router user manual for help on how to do
this. If you make the integrated modem/router a bridge, you will need to configure your
E6501S for the type of WAN interface that your service provider provides using the
procedures described in Chapter 5 (e.g. DHCP, Static, PPPoE).
- Page 25 -
Connect E6501S behind an existing router
If you decide to use the existing router connecting to your computer(s), follow the
instructions provided with your router to enable DHCP service on the LAN interface of
the router so that the E6501S is able to communicate with your router automatically.
Since your computer(s) are still connected directly to your old router, you shouldn’t have
to change their configuration. If manual addressing is preferred between the E6501S and
your existing router, see Chapter 5 for information on how to configure a static IP
address on the E6501S’s WAN port.
- Page 26 -
Chapter 5: Configure E6501S router
This chapter will show you how to configure the router in your E6501S so that you may
gain access to the Internet through your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

Troubleshooting
The E6501S uses your existing broadband Internet connection for placing and receiving calls. For
successful operation it must be able to communicate with your modem or home router without error. The
most common indication of an error is that you do not hear dial tone after you push the Talk button on the
handset, and the display says “No Line”. Please check the following before contacting SunRocket for
additional help:
1. Check that the provided Ethernet cable is connected between the RJ-45 WAN jack on the rear of
the E6501S to your home Router or to your broadband modem.
2. If connected to your home router, verify that your home router is configured to use DHCP to
provide IP addresses to attached devices. If not, enable DHCP on your home router, or contact
SunRocket for help on manually setting an IP address in the E6501S. If connected directly into
your modem, confirm that your E6501S is configured properly to connect to your broadband
internet provider.
3. If your E6501S is connected into your home router, your home router may have a firewall that is
blocking access to SunRocket. Contact SunRocket for help on programming your firewall to
eliminate this block.
