Voice over IP (VoIP)
VoIP is a technology in which telephone calls are made over the Internet. This allows you to save on
communication costs, especially for long-distance calls.
The expensive solution
To be able to make your phone calls over the Internet you could:
±
Buy an IP phone.
These IP phones are special phones that you can connect to your Internet Gateway.
±
Install VoIP software on your computer and make your phone calls via your computer.
The THOMSON solution
With the Thomson Gateway you can make both VoIP and traditional telephone calls using a traditional
analogue phone or
If your Thomson Gateway is not powered, the traditional telephone network (if connected) will automatically
selected. This way you are still able to make emergency calls.

Connection to the Traditional Telephone Network
Combining VoIP with the traditional telephone network
The Thomson Gateway allows you to use both the traditional telephone network (PSTN) as the VoIP network
on the same device.
This way, you can still make calls over the traditional network if the VoIP service is down (e.g. your Thomson
Gateway is powered off).
What do I have to do to configure this?
If your Thomson Gateway:
±
Does
not
have a
PSTN
port on its back panel then the Thomson Gateway has an integrated filter. Both
DSL and PSTN are coming in via the DSL port, so no extra connections are needed.
±
Has a
PSTN
port on its back panel you have to connect this port to the
Phone
output of your filter or
splitter:
For more information about filters and splitters, see
“Filters and splitters” on page 5
.
Be aware that, if you are not connected to the traditional telephone network, emergency calls will
not be possible when your Internet connection is down or your Thomson Gateway is powered off.
In this case the DSL port must be directly connected to your telephone outlet. Do not put any
filter or splitter between them!
