About VoIP Phone Systems
There are tons of companies creating VoIP Phone systems for the business purposes. They are very helpful in lessening the cost of communications to the company, be it for internal and external calling. Installation of VoIP phone systems not only lessens operational costs, but also gives flexibility to the user, making it a top choice in today’s markets.
VoIP phone systems refer to those systems that are connected to the Internet and have telephone voice, fax and/or voice messaging applications. VoIP is connected to the Internet and not the public switched telephone network (PSTN).
The first step involved in the installation of the VoIP system is that the analogue signal is converted into a digital format in which the signal is compressed or translated into an Internet Protocol (IP) packet, all set to be transmitted over the Internet. At the receiving end, this process is reversed. The system uses session control protocols to manage the tear down and set up of calls.
It also involves audio codecs, which encode the speech. This permits it to be transmitted over an IP network as digital audio through an audio stream. Codec stands for “coder-decoder”. It is a hardware used to compress/decompress the digital audio data as per the audio file format or the streaming audio format. The use of codecs varies from one purpose to another and often a range of various codecs are used at a given time. Some implementations rely upon the narrowband and compressed speech, while others are supported by high fidelity stereo codecs.
VoIP phone systems can be tailor fitter to suit businesses of any size and can dramatically cut communication costs as demonstrated by the sizeable amount of people making the switch to VoIP systems.
Traditional phone services are available in VoIP systems too, that permit the phone companies to give you inbound and outbound calling with Direct Inbound Dialing. A lot of companies allow unlimited calls to the US and selected countries in Europe, Asia and Canada for a monthly fee, which turns out to be almost free for any company.
Why does my cable internet shut off when the phone rings?
Question by thephilliesarenotstopable: Why does my cable internet shut off when the phone rings?
My family has cable internet. The cable comes from the wall, then goes to the modem, and then goes to the wireless-N router. A cord also comes from the router to the desktop PC it is near. The wireless network works fine normally. here is the problem, whenever the home phone rings or is used, the internet goes down and cannot be used until the phone is no longer in use. What is the cause of this problem and what are possible solutions?

From your setup, I can’t tell if you have DSL or cable internet. If this is DSL through your telephone company, it sounds like you either have a bad filter or connection outside, and the low frequency voice portion is bleeding into your high-frequency DSL, which is resetting your connection, or you have a cordless phone that is operating on the same frequency as your wireless router. Most new routers have a solution for this by altering the broadcast frequency of your wireless.

What all voip, etc. carriers do phone number portability?
Question by dhampton82: What all voip, etc. carriers do phone number portability?
My dad has had the same home phone number since like 1978. He now wants to try out a voip or similar to try to save some cash. However, he says that it is not an option unless he can take his number with him. Please let me know who all will let him take his number as far as internet phone companies go!

Number portability is what your talking about. You need to ask the VoIP provider if your POTS number is portable to their VoIP system. Some are and some aren’t.

I have a VOIP phone on a cable modem and have been experiencing static on my phone. What could be the causes?
Question by videsee: I have a VOIP phone on a cable modem and have been experiencing static on my phone. What could be the causes?
At times, there is absolutely no static and the call is fine. Other times the static stays for about 2 secs and repeats often. Could it be the batteries draining out? Could it be an issue with the VOIP equipment? Could it be the wireless phone interfering with something? Or could it be another reason?

Answer by Roger Vadim
well, this is the problem most of us have with VoIP…but don’t get discouraged….call your VIP provider…and troubleshoot the problem…
here is an example what I had to do to get it done right…..
your voip adapter to your network to avoid issues:
1. Connect voip adapter to a vacant port on your existing network router/switch
2. Give your adapter a static IP address from your router/switch. i.e. for a Linksys wrt54gs router, assign the adapter a static IP address of 192.168.1.130, gateway will be 192.168.1.1 (That’s the linksys IP address), subnet is 255.255.255.0 and the dns is whatever your isp uses. If you don’t know it, you can use a dns from level 3. e.g. 4.2.2.1
3. Now, go into your router and look for the DMZ setting. Turn this on, and input the static IP address of the adapter you just made. e.g. 192.168.1.130
4. For those of you who are a bit more knowledgable of networking and MUST use ports instead of the DMZ, the ports for Packet8 are dynamic. They are ever changing. You will need to forward ports UDP 5060-65534 and TCP 8889
5. If after using VoIP ( Broadband), you realize that their is some echo or possibly 1 way conversation, or possibly that you are losing internet connection to your adapter, go back into the router and turn OFF any firewall or SPI settings. If this doesn’t fix the problem, you might have to go back to factory defaults on the BPG510 and place it BEFORE your network router/switch. Placing a 310/410 adapter before the router is NOT an option
That is it. Now, the ports are all open to allow your adapter to work without any issues, HOPEFULLY. LOL!!!
Some notes: If using the BPG510 adapter, to make changes, connect a computer to it initially, and type in 192.168.88.1 then it will ask for a password. The password is “admin” without the quotes. Then change the WAN IP address to what it listed above as an example. You DON’T want to change the LAN IP address. Put in the static IP address in the range of your router like I suggested. When you connect it to the router and all is done, then a computer can be connected on a different port of the router, and still access the BPG510. Instead of the 192.168.88.1, it will be the new wan address you gave it. e.g. 192.168.1.130 . You still have the capability of connecting a computer directly to the lan port of the BPG510 and doing the 192.168.88.1 if you like.
If using the 310/410 adapters, there is no WAN settings. You would change the LAN settings for the IP address you want from your router.

The phones are for internet calling, from companies like Yahoo, Skype, etc.
There are several ‘skype’ handsets available which plug into the USB. I have also seen a couple of phones that do both landline and internet.
Have a look on one the main online computer sellers ebuyer.com etc and type in VOIP (voice over IP)

Is there a box you can buy that plugs into your phone line and you could program to selectively screen calls?
Question by sandiegojoe420: Is there a box you can buy that plugs into your phone line and you could program to selectively screen calls?
I have not been able to find anything like this for the average consumer. I have seen high end PBX systems that will do it, but nothing small, simple and cheap. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?

Comcast lets you program numbers that you want to turn away and it gives them a prompt saying the number you are calling is not accepting calls at this time.
