Or, it can function as a wireless client itself for PC connections to other Wi-Fi
networks.
In addition, the Pocket VoIP Gateway can automatically select the operating mode
based on its port connections, or it can be fully configured through an easy-to-use
web-browser management interface.

Component Description
WAN Port
The Pocket VoIP Gateway’s WAN port is a standard RJ-45 Ethernet network port. It
is for connecting the gateway to an Internet connection device, such as an ADSL or
cable modem. You can also connect the WAN port to a switch in an Ethernet
network that provides Internet access.
The WAN port can be attached directly to your cable/DSL modem using one of the
included Category 5 network cables. If you choose to use other, longer Category 5
network cables, be sure they conform to the specifications and pinouts provided in
Appendix B.
Note: The WAN port supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, which means you can
use the same “straight-through” network cable for connection to a cable/DSL
modem or Ethernet switch.
LAN Port
The Pocket VoIP Gateway’s LAN port is a standard RJ-45 Ethernet network port that
connects directly to your PC. It can also be connected to an Ethernet switch or hub
to support more than one user.
The LAN port can be attached directly to your PC using one of the included
Category 5 network cables. If you choose to use other, longer Category 5 network
cables, be sure they conform to the specifications and pinouts provided in
Appendix B.
Note: The LAN port supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, which means you can
use the same “straight-through” network cable for connection to a PC or an
Ethernet switch.
PHONE Port
The Pocket VoIP Gateway’s PHONE port is a standard RJ-11 telephone port that
connects directly to a standard (analog) telephone set. This allows a regular
telephone to be used for making VoIP calls over the Internet.
LINE Port
The Pocket VoIP Gateway’s LINE port is a standard RJ-11 telephone port that

Wireless Access Point
Used as a wireless access point, the Pocket VoIP Gateway connects to an Ethernet
LAN switch and extends the local network to associated wireless clients (PCs or
notebooks with 802.11b/g wireless capability). From any nearby location, you can
then make a wireless connection to the Pocket VoIP Gateway and access the
Ethernet network resources, including local servers and the Internet.
In Access Point mode the Pocket VoIP Gateway supports no gateway functions on
its WAN port. Either the LAN port or the WAN port can be connected to a local
Ethernet LAN.
Note: Access Point mode must be manually set using the web management interface.
For more information, refer to the Management guide.

VoIP Telephony Functions
The Pocket VoIP Gateway can function as a VoIP gateway for making telephone
calls over the Internet. Using the Internet to make VoIP calls to any other VoIP user
in the world is essentially free, and even calls to regular PSTN (Public Switched
Telephone Network) phones are much cheaper than making a traditional long
distance calls.
The Pocket VoIP Gateway enables VoIP calls to be made using a regular (analog)
telephone set, as well as a PC or VoIP phone. The regular telephone can also be
used to make PSTN calls through the Pocket VoIP Gateway.
The Pocket VoIP Gateway uses standard Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
technology to make VoIP calls. When you have connected the unit in either gateway,
access point, wireless client, or repeater mode, use the web management interface
to set up the SIP parameters. Refer to the Management Guide for more information
on VoIP and SIP.
