Setting up a Motorola VT2x42 for Acanac

This page discusses the VoIP settings for the VT2x42 family of VoIP routers. For the router settings, please consult the user manuals: VT2142 VT2442 VT2542
Before you configure the router, you will need an e-mail from Acanac with your account settings. They usually send it to you 2-3 days after you open your account and it will have a subject like "Your Soft Phone order at Acanac is ready". In the e-mail you will find your phone number, the password and the domain (the SIP server).
Connect all the cables: power cord, the blue WAN port to your modem (or router), your PC to one of the yellow LAN ports and a phone into the green Phone 1 port. Wait a few seconds for the router to power up, then open a web browser and type http://192.168.15.1
