¶ Installation
This section explains how to power on the Fanvil Linkvil W710H base station and W610H handset, connect the base station to a network, locate its IP address, and restore the system to its factory default settings.
Topics covered:
- Power Connection
- Configure the W710H as Manager
- Find the Base Station IP Address
- Factory Reset the Base Station
¶ Power Connection
The W710H base station can be powered using either Power over Ethernet (PoE) or an external power adapter.
¶ Power over Ethernet (PoE)
- Connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN port on the W710H base station.
- Connect the other end of the cable to a PoE switch.
- The base station powers on automatically and obtains an IP address automatically.
¶ External Power Adapter
- Connect the supplied power adapter to the DC power port on the W710H base station.
- Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.
- Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port of the base station to your network switch or router.
- If a DHCP server is available on the network, the base station obtains an IP address automatically.
NOTE: If you are using Power over Ethernet (PoE), you don't need to connect the AC adapter. Make sure that the Ethernet cable and router or switch are Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant.
¶ Configure the W710H as Manager
Before configuring the device, ensure that the W710H is operating in Manager mode.
- Open the W710H web administration interface.
- Navigate to Manager > Work Role.
- Select Manager.
- Click Apply.
- Wait for the base station to reboot.
NOTE: After rebooting, the W710H operates in Manager mode.
¶ Find the Base Station IP Address
To access the W710H base station's web administration interface, you must first determine its IP address.
- Ensure that the base station is connected to the network and has completed the startup process.
- The assigned IP address can be identified using a network scanning utility.
¶ Factory Reset the Base Station
This step is not required for a brand-new, out-of-the-box device. However, if the W710H base station has been previously used, performing a factory reset is recommended before configuration.
To restore the W710H base station to its factory default settings:
- Open a web browser and enter the base station's IP address. For example:
http://192.168.1.22. - Log in to the web administration interface. By default, the username is admin and the password is admin.
- Navigate to Configurations.
