Internet and telephony configuration

First page

Here is the first page you see when you access the Obox3v:

Select User and introduce a password (case sensitive) printed on a sticker. 

Click on Next to continue. 

Important!: you cannot switch the language on this page. You need to log in first

Main menu

Now you arrive on the main page. 
You can change the language in the top right if you need it. 
The router is available in English (the default one), French and Dutch.

You can see the following menus:

• Network Connectivity: to establish a PPP connection. 
• Access control: to configure Parental control, Firewall level, DMZ host, port forwarding, and remote management. 
• My Modem: to find some general info (firmware version, uptime, etc), LAN sharing option, DHCPv4 parameters, DynDNS configuration, and Maintenance (to reboot or reset the modem). 
• Wi-Fi: to configure the wireless network. 
• Ethernet: to check the port status (UP or down, if a device is connected or not) and also the traffic usage on that port. 
• USB: to check if there's any USB device connected to it. 
• Telephone: to configure the VOIP account, and, if you click on Phone 1 or Phone 2, see the call history for that number.

Internet configuration

In order to configure the PPP connection you should take the following steps: 

Select Network Connectivity 
Click on Show advanced controls under the sub menu Internet 

You’ll see a following unfolding menu: 

The router is by default in Bridge Mode. You have not only to type your username and password, but also enable PPP (select Enable in the menu below). 

Click OK once it’s done. 

You will be redirected to the main menu. If you click back on Network connectivity, and then on Show Advance Controls, you will see that the router is connected. You could also see an IP address you got:

VoIP Configuration

In the main menu select Telephony or click on the blue button: 

You'll see the following: 

First of all, you should select Enable on top. 

After that, enter the complete configuration for your VoIP telephone number: 

Domain: voip.edpnet.be 
Telephone no: your phone number 
Username: your phone number 
Password: the password provided by edpnet. 
Transport: UDP 
Port: 5060 

Click OK at the bottom right. 

Once it’s done you will be redirected to the main menu. If you click back on Telephony, you will see that the line status is now UP. 

Important! : you don't have to reboot the router after having configured the VoIP account.

However, you can always do it if you're experiencing any problems (e.g. the line status isn't coming UP).

Please pay attention that you cannot merge the ports (so you cannot have one number that come out on both Telephone ports). 

It’s only possible to configure one number per port.
