What cabling
is required?
Most IP phones and ATA use a standard Ethernet connection, which
is the same as a LAN connection on a PC. The IP phone will be
plugged into your local computer network exactly the same as
a normal computer. The exception to this is the wireless IP
phone, which doesn’t use any cables but uses the wireless
hub instead.
Will the VOIP service work over a wireless
network?
Yes as long as the wireless broadband connection is reliable
and has enough available bandwidth to serve the number of VoIP
Lines you intend to use.
Do I need a switch or hub?
You need it if the IP phone is connected to the LAN.
Can I integrate service with my existing
EPBAX phone system?
No.
Can I purchase an adapter for normal PBX
systems to include VoIP functionality?
Yes, this is a custom solution but we can supply you will a
VoIP gateway which will convert your PBX to a broadband phone
system. Please contact sales for a quotation.
If I move premises can I still use the
IP Momentum VoIP Service?
Provided the new premises are equipped with dedicated Internet
connection, the service can still be used globally. If you move
premises, please inform us of your change of address.
Is extension dialing available on the IP
Momentum VoIP Service?
You use the extension number to dial other IP Momentum VoIP
lines free of charge.
How much bandwidth does a VoIP phone use?
VoIP Lines use codec, a compression technique, which means the
calls are very small in comparison with a traditional telephone
call. We currently use the codec G.729 that uses approximately
20kbs per call (64kbs for a traditional call) and provides good
voice quality. There are lower bandwidth codes available for
use on our service however this will impact on call quality.
If a wi-fi phone is used in a HOT SPOT,
how will the calls be billed?
Calls will be billed in the normal manner. Essentially you are
using Internet bandwidth at the hotspot so the phone will be
billed from any location. You will also have to pay the hotspot
computer for the Internet usage, the same as you would with
a laptop.
Will all Broadband phones be useable in
HOT SPOTS?
No, only wireless broadband phones that are wi-fi compatible
e.g. ZyXEL P2000.
If I have Wireless DSL at each of my offices
can I move my SIP phones between offices?
Yes, provided the broadband phones IP addresses are configured
to operate at all sites.
Can IP Momentum guarantee call quality?
The quality of service can only be controlled where the customer
has an un-contended broadband connection and has a router with
quality of service. Most ADSL connections do not have this currently
so the quality of the call cannot be guaranteed.

If I already have a 2-port SIP adapter (e.g.: Cisco ATA) can
I use your service?
Yes, in effect you can register for 2 VoIP Lines because you
have a 2-line adapter - i.e.: 1 phone account for each line.
If you are a new customer, register for a single account on
the web site or from the cd-rom. Once you have your first account
set up, you will have access to our IP Momentum Control panel
(username and password is e-mailed to you). From this, you can
set-up additional broadband phone accounts for the second line
on your Cisco ATA. You should then configure your Cisco to use
both SIP usernames and passwords supplied by us.
Can I use my cordless home phone with any
ATA device?
Yes, our service allows you to do that.
How can I send faxes using the ATA?
Yes, our service allows you to send and receive faxes.
How much does it cost to call an ISD number?
These calls are charged at the standard rate based on the destination
service provider.
How can I get technical support if I have
a problem?
If you have a technical problem with your VoIP service, please
go through our troubleshooting guide sent to you. If you still
cannot find the answer to the problem, please e-mail support@ipmomentum.com
with as much information as possible about the problem.
