and one WAN (Wide Area Network) connection.

POTS Phone connection
By default the POTS phone(s) can simply be plugged into the RJ-14 connector without any
setup. The BDU can accept up to 2 POTS phones (with RJ-14 Splitter).
VoIP or Thales IP Phone connection
By default the BDU has (3) lines preconfigured for use with the Thales IP handsets. If using a
VoIP phone, Thales recommends CISCO SPA504G and Grand Stream GXP2140 models for ease
of use with VesseLINK. Other brands and models may be supported but functionality cannot
be guaranteed. Follow your VoIP phone configuration guide to connect using the following
parameters.
A typical VoIP phone configuration is shown below:
VoIP 1:(will receive calls on line 1 of your SIM)
User: "1001"
Password: "1001"
Host: "sip.thaleslink"
Protocol: udp or tcp
VoIP 2:(will receive calls on line 2 of your SIM)
