Hi Everyone,

I recently needed to have my Genius router replaced. Orcon sent out a new router and handset. To date I have not actually used the handset as we tend to use the two Panasonic handsets we have connected.

We are experiencing poor voice quality on the Genius system at present, and as part of fault tracking, I disconnected the Panosonic phones and tried the Genius handset, only to find it was not talking to the router. I can't seem to find a way to get the two to talk.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Have you charged the battery in the handset (by attaching it to the Genius for several hours)?

Hmmm. No, can't say I did. Just plugged the handset and it's cradle in out in its usual spot in the kitchen...

Handset Pairing Procedure

1) Go into the router via 10.1.1.1 , login
2) Click "Setup my Voip"
3) Click "Dect settings" from the left menu
4) Check to see if the handset is registered (should be visible on this screen)
5) If the handset is registered unregister it by clicking "Unregister" button
6) Enter old pairing key "0000" enter new pairing key "1234" confirm new pairing key "1234" then save the new pairing code (default pairing key is "0000" new pairing key can be any four digits you like, "1234" is just an example)

12) You should now see that the handset is registered on the "Dect settings" page
