IP Telephony System

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Linksys IP Telephony System. The System combines the rich feature set of legacy PBX

(Private Branch eXchange) telephone systems with the convenience and cost advantages of Internet telephony. It

supports common key system features such as an auto-attendant, music-on-hold, call forwarding, three-way call

conferencing, and more.

The System is so easy to configure that a fully working system can be set up in minutes. New Linksys SPA-family

Internet telephones are automatically detected and registered when they are connected to the System. While the

System will work with any SIP-compatible Internet telephone, it is the ideal host for Linksys business telephones,

including model number: SPA941. The System supports the advanced features of these phones, such as shared

line appearances, hunt groups, call transfer, call park, and group paging. Plus, with its two FXS ports, the System

can support traditional analog devices such as telephones, fax machines, answering machines, media adapters.

How does the System do all of this? By connecting your analog phones or fax machines to the System and

connecting the System and Internet phones to your router, then the System can direct voice communications for

your network.

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 Internet phones as well. You will be able to make phone calls

using your Internet phone service account, even while another colleague is web browsing. Plus, you can access

one printer from different computers and access data located on another computer’s hard drive (with the right

permissions).

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”. The System takes your wired network and lets you integrate Internet phones

and Internet phone service.

When you first install the System, Linksys strongly recommends that you use the Setup CD-ROM. If you do not

wish to run the Setup Wizard on the Setup CD-ROM, then use the instructions in the Quick Installation or this User

Guide to help you. These instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the IP Telephony System.
