How it works
Your voice is an analog signal converted into
small packets of digital data and sent over
the Broadband Internet connection to your
VoIP service provider…. Then to the receiver
of your call.
It moves at the speed of light (mostly over
fiber lines) and is converted and
compressed into digital data by software,
sent over the internet and unpacked at a
computer or some other device.
ATA Analog to Digital Converter
Vonage
The simplest and most common way is through the use of a
device called an ATA (analog telephone adaptor). It allows you
to connect a standard phone to your computer or your
Internet connection for use with VoIP. It takes the analog
signal from your traditional phone and converts it into digital
data for transmission over the Internet. Providers like Vonage
and AT&T CallVantage are bundling ATAs free with their
service. You simply plug the cable from your phone that
would normally go in the RJ11 wall socket into the ATA, and
you're ready to make VoIP calls. Some ATAs may ship with
additional software that is loaded onto the host computer to
configure it; but in any case, it's a very straightforward setup.
Ease of Set up
• Plug your phone into
– the back of your computer RJ11 jack
– into an ATA device like Magic Jack
– into a separate box that is plugged in to your
broadband modem or hub/router
• Phones you can use.
– Regular land line type
– Wireless phones – multiple phones on 1 or 2 lines
– Cell Phones with internet access
– Stand alone wireless phones
