Before You Begin

This guide will allow you to set up any Billion 74xx series VoIP modem/router or 64xx series VoIP
router for use with Freshtel. These include the Billion 7401, 7402, 7404 and 6404 models.

We strongly recommend you ensure that the latest rmware update for this device has been
downloaded and installed. For further information, visit the manufacturer’s website at
http://www.billion.com.au

If you are using the Firey softphone on your PC with the same Freshtel number that you wish to use
in your Billion, we advise you to uninstall or disable Firey. Your Freshtel account can only be active
at one point on our network at any one time, and having two identical active accounts will cause
conicts. Similarly, only register your Freshtel account on one line of the Billion, and not both lines.

If you do not yet have a Freshtel account, you should go to our website at http://www.freshtel.net
and register a new account before starting to congure the Billion.

Initial Setup

Before conguration, please refer to the Billion user guide for further information on how to connect
the device to your network.

Billion user guide or contact Billion Technical Support for further assistance.

ATA/Router Setup

This section applies to Billion 64xx series VoIP routers only, such as the Billion 6404VGP. If you have
a Billion ADSL Modem/Router, such as the Billion 7401, 7402 or 7404VGP, move on to the
next page.

Figure 1.3

It is advisable to only have one router in your home network to avoid routing conicts. If you have a
Billion 6404 connected to another router or modem/router, you may wish to set the Billion 6404 to
operate in Analog Terminal Adapter (ATA) mode, rather than operating in VoIP router mode.

If you are unsure whether your Billion 6404 is connected to another router, please contact Freshtel
Customer Care via Firey on 81118111, or our landline number 1300 373 748 (1300 FRESHTEL).
