1. Overview

Congratulations on your purchase of the Net2Phone MAX 4!

The Net2Phone MAX 4 is a VoIP device that allows you to make multiple outgoing calls over the

Internet using a single Ethernet LAN connection. The Net2Phone MAX 4 works like a gateway to

convert the analog signal from your telephone to VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). It then uses the

LAN' s broadband connection to send calls over the Internet via Net2Phone' s service platform. Since

Net2Phone calls bypass most of the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network), the result is

significant savings on long-distance communications services.

The MAX 4 is a desktop device that connects directly into the existing LAN through an RJ-45 port. It

supports up to four analog telephones, each connected to the unit through an individual FXS port

(analog telephone port), and is intended for use by mid to large-sized groups.

The FXS port' s functionality includes placing outgoing calls and receiving incoming calls from other

Net2Phone devices. Optionally, FXS ports may be connected to the analog trunk card on PBX, APBX,

or KPS (Key Phone System) systems.

The Net2Phone MAX 4 features several proprietary QoS (Quality of Service) enhancements, including

G.168 echo cancellation

Voice activity detection (VAD)

Comfort noise generation (CNG)

Dynamic jitter buffer control

This User Guide, as well as the other instructional literature that accompanies the Net2Phone MAX 4, is

intended for people who have a moderate degree of experience installing networking equipment such

as routers, hubs, servers, and switches, and are familiar with basic wiring and cabling practices.

In addition to this User Guide, the MAX 4 is shipped with three product manuals:

A Quick Start Guide that describes hardware installation, cabling, and configuration for a

basic, uncomplicated installation with FXS ports only.

A Hardware Installation Guide that describes hardware installation, cabling, and safety-related

issues.

A Command Reference Guide for advance configuration of the MAX 4 through a serial

connection.
