Warning: Do not remove power from
the Envoy if the LCD displays:
“Upgrading. . . Do Not Unplug.”
Method B: Power Line Communication Bridges
(Included with ENV-120-01)
Use power line communication bridges if the Envoy needs
to be located away from the broadband router.
• Plug one of the bridges into the same AC outlet as the
broadband router and attach an Ethernet cable to the
bridge.
• Plug the other bridge into an AC outlet near the Envoy
and attach the Ethernet cable to the bridge.
• Press and hold the Envoy menu button; release the
button when the LCD displays Get New IP Address.
