Congratulations on your purchase of the of the OPEN812L VoIP ATA router. The VoIP
Analogue Telephone Adapter (ATA) product is a standard-based communication device that
delivers true, next-generation voice-over-IP (VoIP) terminations to residential homes worldwide.
VoIP is a form of Internet telephony that allows users to make telephone calls through the
Internet. Voice data is sent through a packet-switched network instead of the circuit-switch
transmission. The VoIP system send signals to set up or terminate calls and then make it
possible for people to talk and hear each other online. Internet Telephony employs a variety of
protocols, including RTP for transport of multimedia data and SIP for call signalling and control.
The VoIP ATA connects to your broadband router and your telephone, acting as a go-between
and performing the signal translation that allows your analogue telephone to communicate
through your broadband connection. The VoIP ATA is a mixed-environment adaptor that
interface legacy analogue telephones, fax machines, analogue telephones and other analogue
devices to IP-based technology networks, thereby allowing users and VSPs to protect prior
investments in their analogue telephones, fax machine and speaker phones, and migrate to IP
at their own pace.

3. Connecting the ATA Router
The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard
application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me,
etc. The product provides a very easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
Computers must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router
either directly or through an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed and configured to
obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same
subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.10.1 and the subnet mask
is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached computer must be in the same subnet, and have an IP
address in the range of 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.253). The best and easiest way is to
configure the computer to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP.
If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface it may be advisable to
uninstall any kind of software firewall on your computers, as they can cause problems
accessing the 192.168.10.1 IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on
how to best protect their network.
As a quick reference, please follow the Quick Start Guide enclosed with your OPEN 812L VoIP
ATA router on how to connect your cable or DSL modem and your computer. Alternatively, you
may follow the steps in this guide for your computer’s network environment installation. These
are examples of how to use your OPEN 812L VoIP ATA router. It is recommended to check
your network components and ensure that your PC or Notebook has an Ethernet port.
