Before you can use VoIP to phone any other subscribers on the Internet, the fixed line network 

or the mobile phone network, you need a VoIP account.

> Set up a VoIP account with a VoIP provider.

> Have the VoIP account data you received from your VoIP provider to hand. 

You will need:

> Your registration name (login ID), your password and, if applicable (provider-dependent), 

a user name (often this is your VoIP phone number). 

Or

> Your personal auto-configuration code (activation code), if your provider supports 

"automatic configuration".

> The procedure below requires that your phone is automatically assigned an IP address by 

the router (i.e. DHCP is enabled on router and phone).

In exceptional cases (e.g. if DHCP is not enabled on the router) you will have to assign a 

static IP address to the base station for LAN access. You must enter this IP address on the 

handset before carrying out the following steps. Further information can be found in the 

user guide on the supplied CD.
