How to configure Linksys SPA 941 942 for VOIP Connections
Congratulations. Welcome to VOIP Connections family.
1.) Connect the phone properly. Make sure the phone is connected securely to your router or switch. Be sure that all cables are snug
and properly inserted to the correct ports on all phones involved. You will also need to make sure that you have a computer that can
access the same router that the phone is plugged into, which will be used later in this tutorial.
You will also need the MAC address that is labeled on the bottom of the phone. Its usually 12 characters in length and made up of
numbers and letters. Please be sure not to confuse the mac address with the serial number, they can look

factory reset on your Linksys SPA942 phone, you will need to press the menu button on the phone.
3.) After you press the menu button, you will see the menu options on the screen.

IP address may be different than the one shown below, it is simply an example. Note: If you run into problems, having the IP address
written down will help expedite the process when talking to our support staff.
10.) Once you have the IP address written down, you will need to access that IP address from a web-browser on your computer. You
can do this by typing the IP address directly into the address bar of your browser. You will not need to type
“WWW” or “HTTP”, your browser will fill it in for you. The phones webpage should appear.

11.) After you see the webpage for the Linksys phone, you will need to log-in as an administrator. You should see an “Admin Login”
in the top right area of the webpage. If you are prompted for a login when you click the Admin Login link,
The username is “admin” and the password is blank. It won’t prompt for username and password for factory reset.
12.) After you have successfully logged in as an Admin, you will need to switch to advanced mode.
