Welcome
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Linksys Internet Phone Adapter with 2 Ports for Voice-over-IP. This Phone Adapter
will allow you to make and receive phone or fax calls using the your broadband connection.
How does the Phone Adapter do this? Just plug the Phone Adapter into your network router or gateway, then
connect your phones or fax machines to the Phone Adapter to receive telephone service through your cable or
DSL Internet connection. Each of the Phone Adapter’s two telephone jacks operates independently, with separate
phone service and phone numbers, so you can have up to two Internet phone lines per Phone Adapter.
What does all of this mean? Networks are useful tools for sharing Internet access and computer resources. The
Phone Adapter allows your phones or fax machines to take advantage of and share your high-speed Internet
connection. You can even make phone calls while you’re surfing the Internet (Internet phone services required).
Networks are not only useful in homes and offices, they also can be fun too.
Refer to the instructions in the Quick Installation or this User Guide to help you connect the Phone Adapter after
you have set up an account with your Internet phone service provider. The instructions in this User Guide will
help you get the most out of your Phone Adapter.
NOTE: For information about your Internet phone service, refer to your service provider’s
documentation which is included in the welcome kit.
