The V500 is an IP phone that allows you to make phone calls over the Internet. Sending voice
signals over the Internet is called Voice over IP (VoIP). VoIP allows you to call other IP

phonebook, conference calls, call transfer, call hold, and many more.
You can configure and manage the V500 directly, using its multi-function keypad and LCD
screen. Alternatively, access the internal web configurator using a computer connected to the
network for remote administrative configuration.
