16.9 Technical Reference
This section contains background material relevant to the VoIP screens.
16.9.1 VoIP
VoIP is the sending of voice signals over Internet Protocol. This allows you to
make phone calls and send faxes over the Internet at a fraction of the cost of
using the traditional circuit-switched telephone network. You can also use servers
to run telephone service applications like PBX services and voice mail. Internet
Telephony Service Provider (ITSP) companies provide VoIP service.
Circuit-switched telephone networks require 64 kilobits per second (Kbps) in each
direction to handle a telephone call. VoIP can use advanced voice coding
techniques with compression to reduce the required bandwidth.

a regular phone call.

SIP account to make the call.
