Draytek Vigor 2862Vac ADSL/VDSL Router with VoIP (Special Order / Discontinued)

The Vigor 2862Vac features the same specification as the standard Vigor 2862 series router models, with the addition of two phone ports for VoIP services.

 

Standard Analogue telephone handsets or DECT phone handsets can be connected to the Phone 1/2 ports and each of the phones can then be used to make and receive calls using VoIP services (over the Internet) as opposed to using your traditional landline. The two phone ports are independent so you can make two calls at once.

 

VoIP calls are typically much lower cost that fixed-line calls, or if you're calling another VoIP user (who is also using the same VoIP provider, or SIP compatible) the calls are free.  There are many SIP VoIP providers who can provide pay-as-you-go or monthly calling plans, such as DrayTEL.  You can also have your VoIP accounts registered in more than one location so that the phone rings at home or work.

 

An analogue phone line (your landline) can be connected so that the connected phones can also make use of your landline in addition to VoIP calls. In the event of a power cut (when your broadband and router may be offline), the phones will fall back to the land line.

 

A 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch on the LAN side provides high speed connectivity for your server, other local PCs or for uplink to a larger Ethernet switch. Port 5 is switchable with 'WAN2' to use it as an Ethernet WAN port instead of a LAN port.
