Introduction
Congratulations on becoming the owner of the Flexor 500. You will now be
able to make low-cost phone calls over the Internet.
A standard telephone connects to a telephone line and allows you to make
and receive calls over the PSTN network. These types of calls are known
as PSTN calls.
With the Flexor 500 installed, you are still able to receive PSTN calls.
When you make calls these are directed over the Internet; these types of
calls are known as VoIP calls.
To you as a user there is really no difference between making calls over
the Internet or calls over the PSTN network. The difference to you is in the
cost of the calls. VoIP calls are much cheaper than PSTN calls.
The Flexor 500 can receive calls from both Internet and PSTN sources.
Calls are made over the Internet and can be to both VoIP and PSTN
destinations.
It is possible to configure up to four separate telephone lines so that
several calls can be managed simultaneously.
The Flexor 500 has an hands free speaker and microphone (built in) and a
connector for an external headset (not provided).
In addition to providing low-cost calls, the Flexor 500 is packed with
enhanced phone features, including:
CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) that enables you to integrate your
phone with your PC, for example, synchronizing your Microsoft Outlook
address book with the Flexor 500.
Advanced phone functions such as Call Transfer, Call Hold and Three Way
Calling.
This User Guide will show you how to connect up and start using all the
features provided by the Flexor 500.
