Hardware Connection for using VoIP
Below shows a brief hardware connection for executing VoIP function.
1. Connect a telephone handset (or fax machine) to the Phone1 port and
another telephone handset to Phone2 port (optional) on the wireless IAD
separately by using phone cables.
2. Use a phone cable to connect PSTN port on the wireless IAD to the Phone
port on the splitter.
3. Use a phone cable to connect DSL port on the wireless IAD to the Modem
port on the splitter.
4. Connect the telephone line from the wall outlet to the Line port of the splitter.

without a microfilter/splitter connect the DSL port directly to the telephone wall
outlet. However, with this configuration you cannot use the RTA1046VW for PSTN
