Connection to the LAN

Do not connect the VoIP Gateway Card to the LAN unless it has been assigned an IP address for
actual VoIP operations on the network. Doing so may result in the default IP address of the card
overlapping with an existing IP address on the LAN, or cause network failure.
1.
Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector of the card.

Notes
• Make sure to connect to a switching hub. Do not connect to a repeater hub, as this will result
in degradation in speech quality.
• Also, make sure to set the port of the switching hub that connects to the card to operate
under "Auto Negotiation" mode. This will help assure error-free communication between the
card and the switching hub.
