CHAPTER 1
Introducing the V300
This chapter introduces the main applications and features of the V300. It also introduces the
ways you can manage the V300.
1.1 Overview
The V300 is an IP phone that allows you to make phone calls over the Internet.
Sending voice signals over the Internet is called Voice over IP (VoIP). VoIP allows you to call
other IP phones, mobile phones or landlines all over the world.
The V300 is packed with features - including multiple lines, phonebook, conference calls, call
transfer, call hold, and many more.
You can configure and manage the V300 directly, using its multi-function keypad and LCD
screen. Alternatively, access the internal web configurator using a computer connected to the
network for remote administrative configuration.
The V300’s Ethernet ports allow you to connect it to your Local Area Network (LAN) and
your computer. Your computer can access the LAN through the V300, as shown in the
following figure. A is your computer, B is your V300 and C is your modem or router.
At the time of writing, this User’s Guide covers the following models.
Table 1 Models Covered

V301 IP phone with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability.
1.2 Applications
Here are some examples of how you can use your V300.
V300 User’s Guide

Chapter 1 Introducing the V300
1.2.1 Make Calls via Internet Telephony Service Provider
In a home or small office environment, you can use the V300 to make and receive VoIP
telephone calls through an Internet Telephony Service Provider (ITSP).
The following figure shows a basic example of how you make a VoIP call through an ITSP. In
this example, you make a call from your V300 (A in the figure), which sends the call through
your modem or router (B) to the Internet and the ITSP’s SIP server (C). The VoIP call server
forwards calls to PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) phones through a trunking
gateway (D) to phones on the PSTN network (E). The VoIP call server also forwards calls to
IP phones (F) through the Internet.
Figure 1 Internet Telephony Service Provider Application
1.2.2 Make Calls via IP-PBX
If your company has an IP-PBX (Internet Protocol Private Branch Exchange), you can use the
V300 to make and receive VoIP telephone calls through it.
In this example, you make a call from your V300 (A in the figure), which sends it to the IPPBX. The IP-PBX forwards calls to PSTN phones (B) on the PSTN network. The IP-PBX also
forwards calls to IP phones (C) through an IP network (this could include the Internet).

1.2.3 Make Peer-to-peer Calls
Chapter 1 Introducing the V300
Use the V300 to make a call to the recipient’s IP address without using a SIP server. Peer-topeer calls are also called “Point to Point” or “IP-to-IP” calls. You must know the peer’s IP
address in order to do this.
The following figure shows a basic example of how you would make a peer-to-peer VoIP call.
You make a call on your V300 (A), which sends your call through your modem or router (B)
and the Internet to the peer VoIP device (C).
Figure 3 Peer-to-peer Calling
1.3 Ways to Manage the V300
Use any of the following methods to manage the V300.
• Hardware keys. Use the control keys and LCD menus on the V300 for basic configuration.
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the V300 using a
(supported) web browser.
• FTP. Use File Transfer Protocol for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore.
• SPTGEN. SPTGEN is a text configuration file that you can edit and upload to the device.
This is especially convenient if you need to configure many devices of the same type.

1.4 Good Habits for Managing the V300
Do the following things regularly to make the V300 more secure and to manage the V300
more effectively.
• Change the web configurator password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that
consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Keep the V300 in a safe place. The LCD menus are not password-protected, so anyone
using the phone can access your phonebook, SIP account information, etc.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an
earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even
crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the V300 to its factory default
settings to access the web configurator. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you
would not have to totally re-configure the V300. You could simply restore your last
configuration.
