VoIP Basics

Making and Receiving Calls:

Placing a call is exactly the same as with any other regular phone. Just pick up
the handset and dial the regular telephone number. It's that simple. Receiving
calls also works the same. The phone will ring just like a regular phone. With
VoIP, just pick up the phone and start talking!
In more technical terms, your D-Link VoIP Adapter splits converts your analog
signal to digital. The digital signal is sent through your modem and across the
Internet.
When someone calls you, they dial your regular telephone number. Behind the
scenes, your number looks similar to an e-mail address. This number instructs
the call to travel over the Internet to the D-Link VoIP Adapter, your phone rings,
and all you have to do is pick up and answer it.

How does it work?

VoIP technology converts your voice (or analog) into data (or digital signal)
allowing you to place and receive calls over your broadband connection. Simply
plug a D-Link Broadband VoIP Router in to your Cable or DSL Modem, and
plug a standard household telephone into it. You can then place and receive
calls over this phone and also have additional control functions available to you
through a Web browser.
How can I find my IP address and phone number?
Using a phone that is attached to the DVG-2001S, dial the following 3 digits
and you will receive a voice reading back your IP address or phone number.
**1 - IP address
**2 - Phone number
