Voice
See Table 1 on page 17 for the feature difference.
22.1 Overview
Use this chapter to:
• Connect an analog phone to the EMG.
• Configure settings such as speed dial.
• Configure network settings to optimize the voice quality of your phone calls.
22.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
These screens allow you to configure your EMG to make phone calls over the Internet and your regular
phone line, and to set up the phones you connect to the EMG.
• Use the SIP Account screen (Section 22.3 on page 209) to set up information about your SIP account,
control which SIP accounts the phones connected to the EMG use and configure audio settings such
as volume levels for the phones connected to the EMG.
• Use the SIP Service Provider screen (Section 22.4 on page 214) to configure the SIP server information,
QoS for VoIP calls, the numbers for certain phone functions, and dialing plan.
• Use the Phone Device screen (Section 22.5 on page 219) to view detailed information of the phone
devices.
• Use the Region screen (Section 22.6 on page 221) to change settings that depend on the country you
are in.
• Use the Call Rule screen (Section 22.7 on page 221) to set up shortcuts for dialing frequently-used
(VoIP) phone numbers.
You don’t necessarily need to use all these screens to set up your account. In fact, if your service
provider did not supply information on a particular field in a screen, it is usually best to leave it at its
default setting.
22.1.2 What You Need to Know About VoIP
VoIP
VoIP stands for Voice over IP. IP is the Internet Protocol, which is the message-carrying standard the
Internet runs on. So, Voice over IP is the sending of voice signals (speech) over the Internet (or another
network that uses the Internet Protocol).
