Connecting a VoIP phone
Frank and Jill each have a desk phone in the office. Their phones use VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) technology, which means the computer network carries the calls. The VoIP phones work just like any regular office desk phones with 3 digit extension codes (Frank and Jill don't even know they are using VoIP phones).
For Franks desk phone to be connected the VoIP phone will need to be configured with the appropriate VoIP settings. Here we will show you how to view and change Franks VoIP settings on the website.
