The Billion 6404 series are Ethernet VoIP routers used on Internode's Fixed-Wireless broadband services.
NodePhone Cable Setup
The following steps will set up NodePhone with a "fallback" to your regular (PSTN) telephone service. This will allow you to switch between your NodePhone service and the PSTN service.
When dialling out through NodePhone, you will hear a distinctive dial-tone, which sounds like a long hum. On most handsets, pressing the # key will switch between your NodePhone service and your PSTN service.
If you have a Naked, Fibre to the Home, or Fixed-Wireless service, simply complete Step 2.
- Connect a phone cable between the Local Phone port on the ADSL splitter and the Line port on your Billion modem.
- Connect your telephone handset to the port on the router marked with a picture of a handset. Some modems may have a second socket for another handset to be connected.
