Wireless-G IP Phone

Thank you for choosing the Linksys Wireless-G IP Phone. It will allow you to make phone calls using your broadband connection, whether you’re at home or in your office.

How does the IP Phone do this? It connects to your wireless router or access point to receive telephone service 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 and making voice calls using your high-speed Internet connection. You’ll be able to make phone calls using the account you set up with your Internet phone service provider while surfing the Internet on your computer. So, networks not only are useful in homes and offices, but also can be fun.

Use the instructions in this User Guide to help you set up and configure the IP Phone after you have created an account with your Internet phone service provider. These instructions should be all you need to get the most out of the Wireless-G IP Phone.

Note: For information about your Internet phone service, refer to the materials provided by your Internet phone service provider.
