 7 IP Telephony

Introduction to IP Telephony

IP telephony, namely voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is also called broadband telephony or
Internet telephony. It utilizes Internet Protocol (IP) network technologies to implement voice
communication. During a VoIP call, voice signals are digitized, encoded, packetized, and transmitted
as packets over a network. On the receiving side, the packets are then decoded, and digital signals
are converted to reproduce the original voice streams, which can be heard by the called party.
Different from traditional PSTN calls, VoIP calls are transported over IP networks, meaning voice
streams are transmitted over users' existing broadband Internet. This makes full use of broadband
resources.

Configuring VoIP

The HG658 V2 supports VoIP. You can place VoIP calls after your phone is connected to the Phone
port on the HG658 V2.
To use the HG658 V2 to place VoIP calls, ask your network service provider to activate VoIP services
for you. By default, your network service provider will have all related parameters, such as the VoIP
account and address, set for you. You will not need to configure any settings to place VoIP calls.
To configure voice services, do as follows:
1. Configure a VoIP provider.
a.Choose Telephony > VoIP to display the VoIP provider page.
b.Click New VoIP provider.

c.Enter the VoIP provider name provided by the service provider.

d.Enter the IP address or name of the SIP registrar server provided by the service provider in the
Primary Registrar text box.
e.Enter the port number of the SIP registrar server provided by the service provider in the primary
registrar Port text box. If the service provider does not provide the port number, the default
value should be used.
f.Enter the IP address or name of the SIP proxy server provided by the service provider in the
Primary proxy server text box.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 g.Enter the port number of the SIP proxy server provided by the service provider in the primary
proxy Port text box.
h.Enter the home domain name of the SIP user in the SIP domain box.
i.Click Save to save the settings.

2. Configure a VoIP number.

 11 FAQs

What Can I Do If I Cannot Open the Web Management Page?

1. Open Internet Explorer. Choose Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings, and ensure
that all check boxes are deselected.
2. Check that the computer IP address is 192.168.1.*. (* is any integer from 2 to 254.)

3. Check that the cables are securely connected to the HG658 V2.
If the problem persists, restore the HG658 V2 to its default settings.

What Can I Do If the HG658 V2 Cannot Access the Internet

through a Wireless Network Adapter Sometimes or If the WLAN
Connection Is Unsteady?

This is probably because the HG658 V2 has its cables connected loosely, is placed too close to
electronic appliances with intensive interference, or is too far from the computer. Verify that:
1. The power and telephone cables are correctly connected to the HG658 V2.
2. Your computer and the HG658 V2 are far from electric appliances that generate strong magnetic or
electric fields, such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, and cordless telephones.

3. The HG658 V2 is in an open area, and there are no obstacles, such as concrete or wooden walls,
between the HG658 V2 and computer.

4. The HG658 V2 is close to the computer.

5. The angle between the HG658 V2 and computer is appropriate.

Do not use the HG658 V2 during thunderstorms, as the signal strength may be unsteady and
the HG658 V2 itself may be damaged due to lightning strikes.

What Can I Do If I Cannot Access the Internet?

1. Check that the Power indicator on the HG658 V2 is steady on. If the Power indicator is off, perform
further checks as follows:
a.Check that the HG658 V2 is turned on.
b.Check that electricity comes from the socket and that the power input from the socket meets
the requirements described on the label of the HG658 V2's power adapter. If the voltage is unstable,

43

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 for example, if the voltage is too high or too low, do not use the HG658 V2. Wait until the voltage recovers,
and then use the HG658 V2.
c.Check that the HG658 V2 is securely connected to the socket using its power adapter.
If the Power indicator is still off, contact an authorized maintenance center.
2. After powering on the HG658 V2, wait for about 3 minutes. Then check whether the WAN
indicator turns steady on.

a.Check that the telephone line is correctly and securely connected, especially the connection
between the telephone line and the splitter.
b.Check that the HG658 V2 and telephone line are located far from any electric appliances that
generate strong magnetic or electric fields. Replace the telephone line when necessary.
If the WAN indicator is still off, contact your network service provider.
3. Check whether the LAN indicator is on. If the LAN indicator is off, perform further checks as
follows:

a.Check that the network adapter on your computer is enabled.

b.Check that the network cable between the HG658 V2 and the computer is securely connected.
Remove and then insert the network cable or replace the network cable when necessary.
If the LAN indicator is still off, contact an authorized maintenance center.
4. Check that the driver for the network adapter is correctly installed. The following example uses a
computer running the Windows 7 operating system to check whether the driver for the network
adapter is installed:

a.Right-click My Computer, and choose Manage from the displayed shortcut menu.
b.In the Computer Management window, click Device Manager.
c.In the right pane of the Computer Management window, click Network adapters.
If no network adapter is found or if a question mark (?) or an exclamation mark (!) is displayed next
to the network adapter icon, the driver for the network adapter is not correctly installed. Re-install
the driver.
5. Check that PPP dial-up software is installed and parameters are set correctly. For details about
parameter settings, see the user guide for the PPP dial-up software.

6. Check that you have entered the correct user name and password required by the PPP dial-up
software. The user name and password are provided by your network service provider.

7. Check that you can use the PPP dial-up software to set up dial-up connection. If the dial-up
connection fails, perform further checks as follows:

a.Close the PPP dial-up software, and power off the HG658 V2. After 5 minutes, power on the HG658
V2, and use the PPP dial-up software to dial again.
b.Restore the HG658 V2 to its default settings.
If the problem persists, contact your network service provider.
