CHAPTER 1

Introducing the V300

1.1 Overview

This chapter introduces the main applications and features of the V300. It also

introduces the ways you can manage the V300.

The V300 is an IP phone that allows you to make phone calls over the Internet.

Sending voice signals over the Internet is called Voice over IP (VoIP). VoIP allows

you to call other IP phones, mobile phones or landlines all over the world.

The V300 is packed with features - including multiple lines, phonebook,

conference calls, call transfer, call hold, and many more.

You can configure and manage the V300 directly, using its multi-function keypad

and LCD screen. Alternatively, access the internal web configurator using a

computer connected to the network for remote administrative configuration.

The V300’s Ethernet ports allow you to connect it to your Local Area Network

(LAN) and your computer. Your computer can access the LAN through the V300, as

shown in the following figure. A is your computer, B is your V300 and C is your

modem or router.
