Internet Phone Adapter with 2 Ports for Voice-over-IP
Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Linksys Internet Phone Adapter with 2 Ports for Voice-over-IP. This Phone Adapter will
allow you to make phone or fax calls using your broadband connection.
How does the Phone Adapter do this? Plug the Phone Adapter into your network router or gateway, then connect
your phones or fax machines to the Phone Adapter. Each of the Phone Adapter’s two telephone jacks operate
independently, with separate Internet phone services and phone numbers, so you can have up to two Internet
phone lines delivered through your cable or DSL Internet connection.
What does all of this mean? The Phone Adapter allows your phones or fax machines to take advantage of and
share your high-speed Internet connection. You can even make phone calls while you’re surfing the Internet
(Internet phone services required).
Refer to the instructions in the Quick Installation or this User Guide to help you connect the Phone Adapter after
you have set up an account with your Internet phone service provider. The instructions in this User Guide will help
you get the most out of your Phone Adapter.
NOTE: For information about your Internet phone service, refer to the materials provided by your
Internet phone service provider.

Phone 2 port only if you have more than one Internet telephone service account.)
Make sure the green INTERNET LED on the front panel of the Phone Adapter is lit. If it is not lit, check your
router and network connection to the Internet.
Make sure the green PHONE 1 LED on the front panel of the Phone Adapter is lit, then pick up the
telephone; you should now have a dial tone.
Follow these instructions to reboot your cable or DSL modem, Phone Adapter, and router:

If you’re using a wireless router and a cordless phone, they may be using the same frequency and may
interfere with each other. Move the cordless phone farther away from the router.
•
There may be heavy network activity, particularly if you are running a server or using a file sharing
program. Try to limit network or Internet activity during Internet telephone calls. For example, if you are
running a file sharing program, file may be uploaded in the background even though you are not
downloading any file, so make sure you exit the program before making Internet phone calls.
There may not be enough bandwidth available for your Internet phone call. You may want to test your
bandwidth using one of the bandwidth tests available online. If necessary, access your Internet phone
service account and reduce the bandwidth requirements for your service. For more information, refer to
your service provider’s website.
