1. Overview

1.1 System Features

Congratulations on your purchase of the Max 8 or
Max 8 Plus!
The Max 8 is a Voice over Internet Protocol device
that allows you to make multiple ingoing/outgoing
calls over the Internet using a single Ethernet LAN
connection. The Max 8 works like a gateway to
convert the analog signal from your telephone to
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). It then uses
the Local Area Network (LAN)'s broadband
connection to send calls over the Internet via
Net2Phone's service platform. Since Net2Phone
calls bypass most of the Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN ), the result is
significant savings on long-distance
communications services.
The Max 8 is a rack-mountable device that
connects directly into the existing LAN through an
RJ-45 port. It supports up to eight 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 Max 8 Plus is a rack-mountable device that
connects directly into an existing LAN through an
RJ-45 port. It contains two removable interfaces
cards, each containing four RJ-11 ports. Interface
cards may contain either four FXS ports or four
FXO ports. Max 8 Plus units are configured to
order, and may have FXS only, FXO only, or both
types of ports. Cards containing FXS ports are
labeled FSU, while those containing FXO ports are
labeled FOU.
