Introduction
VolP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a technology which uses the Internet to
transmit telephone conversations.
Analogue voice signals are highly compressed and converted to a digital form.
These digital signals are transmitted via computer networks or the Internet.
Under the corresponding conditions, VolP can be used to telephone free of
charge. It may only be necessary for payment to cover the costs of your
Internet provider!
As a result, VolP represents an interesting alternative to traditional telephony.
The IP-6 is a USB-based VoIP telephone which only needs to be connected to
your PC in order to carry out VolP telephone calls.
4.4
Connecting the IP-6 telephone to the PC
Connect the USB plug on the lP-6 telephone to a USB port on the PC.
When the IP-6 telephone is connected to the PC for the first time, Windows
automatically detects the new hardware and installs it.
The audio output, such as music, and audio input, via the microphone for
example, are thus directed to the IP-6 telephone.
