Be sure your phone is plugged in to the 

Green Phone Port 1

on 

the rear panel of the Vonage Device, and that it is disconnected 

from the wall jack that a traditional phone uses.

2.

Reset all of your equipment as described on page 8. After you 

reset all your equipment, pick up your telephone handset to 

listen again for a dial tone. 

If your Internet connection works, but you 
don't hear a dial tone or a voice recording:

Power

– When the power light stops blinking and is a solid green, 

this indicates that your Vonage Device has started up properly.

Note that both the power light and the phone light must be solid 

in order to make a phone call.

Internet

– Solid light indicates connectivity to your router or 

network. Whenever there is activity, this light will blink.

Ethernet

– Solid light indicates connectivity to your computer 

whenever there is activity this light will blink.

Phone 1 & 2

– Solid light indicates that phone lines are ready for 

Vonage Internet telephone or FAX calls. Blinking green light 

indicates the phone for that line is ringing or off the hook. 

Blinking orange light indicates that you have voice mail.

HINT: When the Vonage Device is downloading/upgrading firmware from 
Vonage, the lights will blink rapidly in unison.
