Phone Adapter with Router

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Phone Adapter with Router. This Phone Adapter will allow your computers to share a

high-speed Internet connection as well as resources, including files and printers. And after you have set up your

Internet phone service, also known as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), you will be able to make phone or fax

calls using the Internet.

How does the Phone Adapter do all of this? By connecting your computers and peripherals, including phones or

fax machines, to the Phone Adapter and connecting the Phone Adapter to your cable or DSL modem, then the

Phone Adapter can direct and control communications for your network. Each of the Phone Adapter’s two

telephone jacks can operate independently, with separate phone service and phone numbers, so you can have

up to two Internet phone lines per Adapter.

But what does all of this mean?

Networks are useful tools for sharing Internet access and computer resources. Multiple computers can share

Internet access, so you don’t need more than one high-speed Internet connection. With Internet phone service,

your Internet access can now be shared by your phones or fax machines as well. You will be able to make phone

calls using the account you set up with your Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP), even while you’re surfing

the Internet. Plus, you can access one printer from different computers and access data located on another

computer’s hard drive. Networks are even used for playing multiplayer video games. So, networks not only are

useful in homes and offices, but also can be fun.

PCs on a wired network create a LAN, or Local Area Network. They are connected with Ethernet cables, which is

why the network is called “wired”.

ethernet

: an IEEE standard network

protocol that specifies how data is

placed on and retrieved from a common

transmission medium.

lan

(local area network): the computers

and networking products that make up

the network in your home or office.

network

: a series of computers or

devices connected for the purpose of data

sharing, storage, and/or transmission

between users.
