Before you buy, check that you have the following basics
in place.
1. A working local area network (LAN) with Internet
access.
2. One or more regular phone line(s) that can make
and receive external calls.
3. Anything with a standard RJ-11 plug—just like
your home phones—should work fine.
4. At least one PC running Windows Vista or Microsoft
Windows XP.
You can take advantage of additional phone system features if you have
multiple Windows PCs at each office location.
5. A DHCP server to dynamically assign IP addresses
to new devices on your network.
If you’re like most small offices, this is built into your router.
If you’re able to connect a new PC and access the Internet without
trouble, you’re probably OK.
6. Ethernet cabling to each location where you intend
to use the phones.
