your second telephone (or fax machine) using an RJ-11 telephone cable (not included).

IMPORTANT: If you reset the Router, all of

your settings, including Internet connection,

Internet phone service, and security settings,

will be deleted and replaced with the factory

defaults. Do not reset the Router if you want to

retain these settings.

(If you have an active Internet phone service

account and reset the Router, then the Router

will automatically download its Internet phone

service settings once it is connected to the

Internet again.)
