VoIP Capability

The Vigor 2710 Voice-over-IP equipped models provides a phone port allowing you to connect any regular telephone (cordless or corded) to make and receive voice calls using your Internet connection. Using industry standard SIP-protocols, this enables you to make free Internet calls to any other compapible SIP user, or calls to the regular phone network (PSTN / Landlines / Mobiles) via a VoIP gateway service such as VoIPtalk (or any other SIP compliant service).

Voice-over-IP Facilities

• Phone socket for any regular telephone
• SIP-compliant, compatible with VoIPtalk and other VoIP providers
• Support for up to six simultaneous different SIP providers
• Analogue Phone Line integration, switching & failover.
• Least Cost Routing (Digit-map) - Pre-select VoIP provider or PSTN for different call types
• Make VoIP calls free-of-charge to any other compatible VoIP user, worldwide
• Make low cost calls to any phone worldwide at low rates
• Receive calls on your own real telephone number

You can make free calls to or from other compatible VoIP users worldwide (it doesn't have to be another Vigor router, it can be a softphone on a PC or other hardware). Via a PSTN gateway, you can make calls to any regular telephone line or mobile phone worldwide. You can use any VoIP providers, as long as they are "SIP compliant". Pre-set 'QoS assurance' automatically gives priority to VoIP traffic so that call quality is maximised from your available Internet bandwidth. Selectable codecs allow you to tune your ideal VoIP parameters for best call quality and bandwidth use. POTS & VoIP Access from one phone

In addition to the ADSL Line, the Vigor2701Vn model connects to your regular analogue phone line too so with just a single phone on your desk, you can choose to make calls using VoIP via the Internet or switch over to your POTS line (your normal phone line) and dial out via the PSTN (the conventional phone network). By setting up the LCR (Least Cost Routing) facility, you can automate this process so that the router automatically sets your preferred route for calls, according to your own rules. Then, depending on the destination dialled, the router will use either your POTS line or one of up to 4 VoIP/SIP providers/gateways (for example VoIPtalk).

POTS & VoIP Access from one phone

Incoming calls can be received too - either from POTS or VoIP - the phone will ring on either. With automatic failover, in the event of power loss, the Vigor automatically switches your phone over to the POTS line so that you can still make/receive calls. Additionally, if you have a VoIP phone number (SIP Address) in the speed dial memory, you can also specify a backup phone number for each entry, so in the event of Internet loss, the router will automatically dial an alternative number via your regular telephone line.

Network Attached Storage (NAS)

The Vigor 2710 Series's USB port can also be used to add storage memory to the unit in the form of a USB memory key (as shown right) or for higher capacity a USB hard drive (normally requires its own power). The Vigor 2710 then provides FTP access file uploading/downloading which can be from the local LAN or from anywhere on the Internet - ideal for a simple to deploy file depository. Access can be 'public' or using usernames and passwords, each of which can have their own directories and/or file access rights. As well as FTP, file sharing is available as a Windows 'network drive'. Using Internet Explorer, you can access, read and write the contents of the USB drive.
