Using Kvh's Enhanced Voice Service - KVH Industries V7 User Manual

Using KVH's Enhanced Voice Service

The MTA and enhanced voice service allow you to make/receive
telephone and fax calls via the mini-VSAT Broadband service. This
section explains how to use basic voice and fax functions.
IMPORTANT!
The TracPhone V7 voice service will not provide Automatic
Number Identification or Automatic Location Information
capabilities associated with emergency 911 or E911 services. In
addition, the voice service will not work in the event of either a
network service outage or a power failure. Therefore, it is critical
that you maintain your vessel's separate distress and safety
communications system for emergency calls. Be sure to inform
anyone who may use the TracPhone V7 of the limitations of 911
and E911 emergency services. The manufacturer, distributor, and
service provider shall not be liable for, and expressly disclaim, any direct
or indirect damages, claims, losses, expenses, liabilities, actions, risks, or
harms arising out of or related to the services provided through this
equipment, including without limitation, emergency 911 or E911
services.
Turning On the MTA
The MTA has no on/off switch. When you turn on the TracPhone V7
system, the MTA initializes, which may take up to 15 minutes. The
MTA is ready once its "VOIP" light is lit steady green (see Figure 2-5).
For complete details about the MTA device, refer to the MTA User's Guide.
