VoIP Basics
Making and Receiving Calls
Placing a call is exactly the same as with any other regular phone. Just pick up
the handset and dial the regular telephone number. It’s that simple. Receiving
calls also works the same. The phone will ring just like a regular phone. With
VoIP, just pick up the phone and start talking!
In more technical terms, your D-Link VoIP Router converts your analog signal to
digital. The digital signal is sent through your modem and across the Internet.
When someone calls you, they dial your regular telephone number. Behind the
scenes, your number looks similar to an e-mail address. This number instructs
the call to travel over the Internet to the D-Link VoIP Router, your phone rings,
and all you have to do is pick up and answer it.
How does it work?
VoIP technology converts your voice (or analog) into data (or digital signal)
allowing you to place and receive calls over your broadband connection. Simply
plug a D-Link Broadband VoIP Router in to your Cable or DSL Modem, and
plug a standard household telephone into it. You can then place and receive
calls over this phone and also have additional control functions available to you
through a Web browser.
You must subscribe to a VoIP phone service plan and have a high-speed Internet
connection. You cannot use the phone unless you have an account and are provisioned
by the provider. D-Link Systems, Inc. is not a Telephone Service Provider or VoIP Phone
Service Provider.
