Chapter 5: Using the Interactive Voice Response Menu
Overview
You may need to manually configure the Voice Gateway by entering the settings provided by your Internet
Telephony Service Provider (ITSP). This chapter explains how to use the Interactive Voice Response Menu to
configure the Voice Gateway’s network settings. You will use the telephone’s keypad to enter your commands
and select choices, and the Voice Gateway will use voice responses.
For more advanced configuration, refer to “Chapter 6: Using the Web-based Utility.”
Accessing the Interactive Voice Response Menu
1.
Use a telephone connected to the PHONE
port of the Voice Gateway. (You can only access the Interactive
Voice Response Menu through an analog telephone, not any of the Internet phones.)
2.
Press
****
(in other words, press the star key four times).
3.
Wait until you hear “Linksys configuration menu. Please enter the option followed by the # (pound) key or
hang up to exit.”
4.
Refer to the following table that lists actions, commands, menu choices, and descriptions. After you select
an option, press the
#
(pound) key. To exit the menu, hang up the telephone.
NOTE:
If your ITSP sent you the Voice Gateway, then it may be pre-configured for you, and you do
not need to change any settings. Refer to the instructions supplied by your service provider for more
information.
