4. Connecting the base with a router (Internet) or PC
Your base features two LAN connections, via which you can connect the base to a 
router and/or PC. 
Connection to a router is required for Internet telephony VoIP (Voice over Internet 
Protocol). You can set up and configure up to six accounts (VoIP phone numbers) 
from one or several VoIP provider(s) on the base. 
Your base also needs to be connected to the router for the following features on 
your phone: 
u
You wish to be notified as soon as new software is available for your base on the 
Internet.
u
The date and time on your base should be updated by a time server on the 
Internet. 
u
