ATA Quick Start
Your ATA comes with a power cube and Ethernet cable. Some
models also include other items, such as a phone cord, phone-jack
adapter, phone filter, or service provider flyer.
To complete the installation, you need the following:
- A broadband Internet connection using a cable modem,
ADSL, T1, E1, SDSL, or any other high-speed “always on”
Internet connection.
- An account set up with a VoIP service provider. If you
do not have an account set up, please look for a Read Me
First! flyer in the box for your VoIP ATA and follow its
instructions. If there is no flyer, go to your service provider’s
Web site and sign up for service.
- A router that uses your broadband Internet connection. This
can be an ADSL modem with a built-in router, a cable
modem with a built-in router, or some other router
connected to a broadband Internet connection. The router
needs at least one available LAN port, and the router needs
to be set up for 10/100 or 10/100/1000 or 10 Mbps. (Most
routers use 10/100 unless you change them.)
- A telephone so you can place and receive phone calls.
Now you’re ready to connect the ATA to a telephone, a router,
and a “live” power outlet. You will make your connections to the
back of the ATA.
