VoIP
Softphone Guide
A softphone is simply a
phone that
operates from
your PC or handheld
device and uses your Internet connection to make VoIP calls. You can
use a softphone in conjunction with a USB Phone or a PC Headset.
Softphones can also be used with some ranges of smartphones.

VoIP Phone Guide
A VoIP Phone
looks like a normal phone but connects to your Internet connection
instead of your phone line. If you plan on sharing your Internet
connection with your PC, you will need a router which may be provided
by your ISP. If you dont have a router, you can purchase from our wide
selection of Broadband Routers (comming Soon).

VoIP Analogue Phone Adapter
Guide
(ATA)
A VoIP Phone Adaptor
(ATA)
is used to connect your normal analogue phones to a VoIP service.
Similar to a
VoIP Phone, VoIP Adaptors use VoIP through your Internet connection. If
you plan on sharing your Internet connection with your PC, you will
need a router which may be provided by your ISP. If you dont have a
router, you can purchase from our wide selection of Broadband Routers
(comming soon).
Some VoIP Adaptors also have built-in router functionality and others
can also plug into your phone line as well as the Internet so you dont
have to split your communications.

VoIP Router Guide
A VoIP Router
is used to connect your normal analogue phones to VoIP as well as
providing all the functionality of normal IP routers. In addition to
this, VoIP Routers also provide the router functionality so they can
use your ADSL/Cable Modem connection directly and allow your PC to
connect to the Internet as well. Therefore, VoIP Routers are intended
to be all-in-one communication devices, providing both your Internet
and VoIP connections.

Asterisk PBX Guide
Consult your service
provider for info on how to
connect your Asterisk box to their VoIP service.
|
USB VoIP Phone Guide
A USB Phone connects
to your PC and uses a VoIP
Softphone (see
above) installed on your PC to communicate. The benefits of using a USB
Phone are that you only need a PC and Internet connection, installation
is very simple and configuration is minimal.
|
WiFi VoIP Phone Guide
A WiFi VoIP Phone
works exactly like a VoIP Phone (see above) but connects to the network
via a Wireless Access Point. This is useful if you move around a lot as
you are able to use VoIP on the move wherever you have access to a
wireless network. However configuration may be slightly more difficult,
especially if the wireless network you are using has secured access.
|
VoIP Video Phone Guide
A Video Phone
connects to your router and works
exactly like a VoIP
Phone except that it has a camera and screen fitted in so you can
transmit video images to another user of a Video Phone. To communicate
with another Video Phone user either of you can use any type of device
BUT both devices must use the same video codec. The video codec used by
the device can be checked in its features list. Transmitting video over
the Internet does mean that you will be using up to double the
bandwidth normally used for just voice.
|
VoIP Gateway Guide
A VoIP Gateway
is used to connect your normal analogue or ISDN PBX to VoIP. Similar to
a VoIP Adaptor, VoIP Gateways use VoIP through your Internet
connection. With analogue gateways there are two types: FXO and FXS. An
FXS gateway is used to connect an analogue PBX to VoIP so that you can
use it to make and receive calls through VoIP. An FXO gateway is used
to connect a VoIP Phone (usually located in another geographic
location) to the analogue PBX to enable remote extensions.
