FAQs
The IP Momentum VoIP Service requires a functional and reliable broadband Internet connection. IP Phones or ATA require a spare Ethernet connection and wireless IP phones require a home or business wireless network. For IP Momentum Control access, you will require Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later; or Netscape.
Most IP phones and ATA use a standard Ethernet connection, which is the same as a LAN connection on a PC. The IP phone will be plugged into your local computer network exactly the same as a normal computer. The exception to this is the wireless IP phone, which doesn’t use any cables but uses the wireless hub instead.
You need it if the IP phone is connected to the LAN.

VoIP Lines use codec, a compression technique, which means the calls are very small in comparison with a traditional telephone call. We currently use the codec G.729 that uses approximately 20kbs per call (64kbs for a traditional call) and provides good voice quality. There are lower bandwidth codes available for use on our service however this will impact on call quality.
Calls will be billed in the normal manner. Essentially you are using Internet bandwidth at the hotspot so the phone will be billed from any location. You will also have to pay the hotspot computer for the Internet usage, the same as you would with a laptop.
No, only wireless broadband phones that are wi-fi compatible e.g. ZyXEL P2000.
Yes, provided the broadband phones IP addresses are configured to operate at all sites.
The quality of service can only be controlled where the customer has an un-contended broadband connection and has a router with quality of service. Most ADSL connections do not have this currently so the quality of the call cannot be guaranteed.

Yes, in effect you can register for 2 VoIP Lines because you have a 2-line adapter – i.e.: 1 phone account for each line. If you are a new customer, register for a single account on the web site or from the cd-rom. Once you have your first account set up, you will have access to our IP Momentum Control panel (username and password is e-mailed to you). From this, you can set-up additional broadband phone accounts for the second line on your Cisco ATA. You should then configure your Cisco to use both SIP usernames and passwords supplied by us.
