VoIP Gateway Tutorial

Switching to VoIP phone service can help you cut out another of your monthly bills. VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, allows you to send phone calls over your Internet connection instead of a land line or cell network. While VoIP can save you money, it also takes a little more technology to get up and running. If you want to keep your same phone for your VoIP service, use a VoIP Gateway to make the connection between your standard phone handset and the Internet.

  Connect one end of the phone line into the "Phone" port on the Gateway and attach the other end to the jack on the phone.

• 5

  Turn on your router, and wait for it to reboot.

• 6

  Attach the Gateway to the power supply cord, and turn on the Gateway. The "Internet" and other LED lights will illuminate.
