Making A Call

Once a phone is plugged into the phone socket 1 on the router and the LINE1 is online you can pick up the receiver and make calls, just like a regular phone.

Your first call should be an echo test - Dial 1742

TIP: Add a hash (#) at the end to speed up dialing. example 1742#

Can't get the phone to Online/Register

Check all the settings are correct and double check your password. The password is the same as your web login password.
