Analog Telephone Adapter with 2 FXS Ports

Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Linksys Phone Adapter with 2 FXS ports. This Phone Adapter will allow you to make
phone or fax calls using your broadband connection.
How does the Phone Adapter do this? Plug the Phone Adapter into your network router or gateway, then connect
your phones or fax machines to the Phone Adapter. Each of the Phone Adapter's two telephone jacks operate
independently, with separate Internet phone services and phone numbers, so you can have up to two Internet
phone lines delivered through your cable or DSL Internet connection.
What does all of this mean? Networks are useful tools for sharing Internet access and computer resources.
The Phone Adapter allows your phones or fax machines to take advantage of and share your high-speed Internet
connection. You can even make phone calls while you're surfing the Internet (Internet phone services required).
Networks are not only useful in homes and offices, they also can be fun too.
Refer to 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. The instructions in this User Guide will help
you get the most out of your Phone Adapter.
NOTE: For information about your Internet phone service, refer to the materials provided by your
Internet phone service provider.
