1 Introduction
StarVoice is a family of ADSL and SHDSL products developed to provide an integrated
wide band voice and data device.
StarVoice stems from Aethra long-standing experience with ISDN devices and
terminations. It guarantees quick simple installation and high-compatibility level with any
type of telephones, fax machines, PBXs, modems, etc.
With StarVoice you can make and receive calls over the analogue and ISDN telephone
lines provided by your telecom operator. At the same time you can use the Ethernet
interface for high-speed Internet navigation and connect your local network (LAN) to other
networks (WAN) with unrivalled performance.
This manual describes how to connect StarVoice to your telephone system, local network
(LAN), ADSL or SHDSL (WAN) and configure it as router.
READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE USE TO AVOID INCORRECT INSTALLATION!
1.1 Users
This manual is addressed to technicians in charge of telephone system installation and
maintenance, users and network administrators, hardware and software technicians of
Ethernet local networks or individual PC stations.
