These screens allow you to configure your EMG to make phone calls over the Internet and your regular
phone line, and to set up the phones you connect to the EMG.
• Use the
SIP Account
screen (
) to set up information about your SIP account,
control which SIP accounts the phones connected to the EMG use and configure audio settings such
as volume levels for the phones connected to the EMG.
• Use the
SIP Service Provider
) to configure the SIP server information,
QoS for VoIP calls, the numbers for certain phone functions, and dialing plan.
• Use the
Phone Device
screen (
) to view detailed information of the phone
devices.
• Use the
Region
screen (
) to change settings that depend on the country you
are in.
• Use the
Call Rule
screen (
) to set up shortcuts for dialing frequently-used

You don’t necessarily need to use all these screens to set up your account. In fact, if your service
provider did not supply information on a particular field in a screen, it is usually best to leave it at its
default setting.
