If you have two VoIP numbers, you can connect two telephones to the PHONE/FAX and

PHONE interfaces respectively. Only the PHONE/FAX interface provides the emergent

public switched telephone network (PSTN) function. When the DSL network cannot

work, the HG556a chooses the PHONE/FAX interface automatically to provide the PSTN

function.

z

If you have only one VoIP number, when you are using the VoIP function on one of the

PHONE/FAX and PHONE interfaces, the other interface cannot provide the VoIP

function. The functions of these two interfaces are determined by the configuration of

your Internet service provider (ISP).

Note for the PSTN function

:

If you have no VoIP number and use only the PSTN function, then

connect the telephone to the PHONE/FAX interface.
