Chapter 1: Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Linksys Phone Adapter with 2 Ports for Voice-over-IP. This Phone Adapter will allow 
you to make phone or fax calls using the your broadband connection.

How does the Phone Adapter do this? Plug the Phone Adapter into your network router or gateway, and then 
connect your phones or fax machines to the Phone Adapter. Each of the Phone Adapter’s two telephone jacks 
operates independently, with separate phone service and phone numbers, so you can have up to two Internet 
phone lines—telephone service delivered through your cable or DSL Internet connection.

But what does all of this mean? Networks are useful tools for sharing Internet access and computer resources. 
With the Phone Adapter, your phones or fax machines can share your high-speed Internet connection and take 
advantage of it. You will be able to make phone calls using the account you set up with your Internet phone 
service provider, even while you’re surfing the Internet. So, networks not only are useful in homes and offices, but 
also can be fun.

Use the instructions in the Quick Installation or this User Guide to help you connect the Phone Adapter after you 
have set up an account with your Internet phone service provider. These instructions should be all you need to get 
the most out of the Phone Adapter.
