Overview
An office manager moving analog desk phones and fax machines to a SIP phone service gets one box that serves a row of handsets. The gateway connects to the network over Ethernet, adds its own NAT router and provisions itself automatically.
Small offices keep their existing analog phones and fax machines while switching to internet calling. It does nothing for Wi-Fi and needs a SIP provider and some network know-how to configure.
Who it's for
Offices, hotels and shops with several analog extensions benefit most. People who need wireless internet or only one phone line should choose something simpler.
Pros and cons
- Serves many analog phones from one box
- Fax over IP support
- Conferencing on each port
- Encryption with a unique certificate
- Needs a SIP service account
- Configuration aimed at technical users
Performance notes
Call quality depends on the network path to the SIP provider, so a congested uplink causes choppy audio. The built-in router handles NAT for the voice traffic, and fax relies on the fax relay support of the provider.
