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

VoIP Telephony Functions
The Wireless Travel Voice 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 Wireless Travel Voice 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 Wireless Travel Voice Gateway.
The Wireless Travel Voice 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.
To connect the Wireless Travel Voice Gateway to use its telephony functions, first
connect and configure the Wireless Travel Voice Gateway in the operating mode
