Introduction

The D-Link DG-102S VoIP Station Gateway links traditional telephony networks
to IP networks with conventional telephony devices such as analog phones or
fax machines. The DG-102S includes two loop start Foreign Exchange
Subscriber (FXS) that interfaces with normal RJ-11 telephone connectors to
provide voice/fax communication over the IP network. The DG-102S also
includes two 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports. One Ethernet port is for a DSL/
Cable Modem or other WAN devices, and the other may function as a connection
to create a home or small office LAN network. The built-in DHCP server/client
and Network Address Translation (NAT) function automatically to assign IP
addresses for LAN users, allowing multiple users to share a single Internet
connection. It can be configured and monitored via the Console, Web browser,
or Telnet and also supports SNMP management.
By routing calls over the Internet or any IP network, this gateway can reduce or
eliminate long distance or inter-office phone charges. Corporations can also
enjoy the benefits of network consolidation and the reduction of leased lines by
relying on Internet service providers to deliver toll-quality voice communications
over the IP networks.
