Phone Use and Configuration
This chapter describes basic phone setup and usage, as well as select advanced
VoIP configuration options for your ZyXEL Device.
3.1 PSTN Phone Set Up (P-2701RL Only)
When one of your VoIP accounts is registered, the ZyXEL Device normally uses the
Internet (VoIP) rather than the regular PSTN phone line to place and receive
phone calls.
However, if you connect the Line port to a regular PSTN phone jack, then
incoming PSTN calls will be forwarded directly to the phone connected to your
ZyXEL Device's Phone port.

3.2 Placing Phone Calls

Use the following sections to make outgoing calls from a phone attached to the
ZyXEL Device to another phone.
Follow these directions to make calls over the Internet:
• If you want to dial a SIP number that only uses numbers (for example,
"12345"), dial the number on your phone's keypad. You can also set up a speed-
dial entry, if you want, in the VoIP > Phone Book > Speed Dial screen. See
Section 3.4 on page 21
• If you want to dial a SIP number that uses letters or if you want to make a peer-
to-peer call, set up a speed-dial entry first. Use the VoIP > Phone Book >
Speed Dial screen. Then dial the speed-dial number to make the call.
• If you want to call a PSTN phone over the Internet, follow your VoIP provider's
instructions.
