Hardware Requirements
To use the Net2Phone MAX 420, you will need:
??

??
A Local Area Network (LAN) with a broadband connection which
must
not
employ proxy server caching.

APBX, or KPS with an analog trunk card installed.
??
A separate port on the MAX with its own telephone line connection to the
PBX, or to an analog telephone, is required for each concurrent telephone
call (or conversation) desired. For example, if capability for 3 concurrent

LAN, for initial setup and system management.
