Voice over IP
(VoIP) is a new technology which allows you to make voice
telephone calls over the Internet. Armed with your Connexin
VoIP details and an Internet telephone you can begin making
calls, and need never use a traditional telephone line ever
again!
In every case, your ability to make VoIP telephone calls
relies on your access to a broadband Internet connection
either directly or indirectly via your local area network
(LAN).
There are three types of Internet telephony devices that you
can use over broadband to make and receive calls:
• Software phones or ‘softphones’ - These are applications
that you install on your desktop which are used in
conjunction with either a headset or a microphone and
speakers.
• Hardware phones or ‘IP phones’ - These are special devices
that look and behave just like a normal telephone except
that they have an Ethernet port for connection straight on
to your local computer network.
• VoIP adapters - These are devices which provide an
interface for VoIP calling. On one side they have an
Ethernet port for connection to your local computer network,
and on the other side they have a normal phone port so that
you can connect and use a normal, traditional phone handset
or DECT base station.
