Using the DVC-2000

(as shown below). To dial, lift up the receiver or press the speakerphone button
and you can make a call as you normally would via your standard phone connection.

international phone standard of transmitting analog voice data over copper wires.
In PSTN mode, your DVC-2000 functions as a standard telephone using your
standard phone line connection.

Broadband Mode: Broadband mode allows you to video conference via your
Internet connection using digital communication standards. You can connect to
anyone with a broadband connection and an i2eye
world.
