The LANCOM VoIP USB Handset has to be connected to a free USB interface
on your computer. No drivers need to be installed and the LANCOM VoIP USB
Handset is automatically recognized as an audio device by Windows 2000 or

Installing the LANCOM Advanced VoIP Client
You will need administrator rights to install the LANCOM Advanced
VoIP Client on PC.
These system requirements have to be met to use the LANCOM Advanced
VoIP Client:
Intel Pentium III 700-MHz processor or higher
Min. 512-MB RAM
25 MB available hard-disk space
Graphics card offering a minimum resolution of 800x600 pixels and at
least a 15-bit color depth (32767 colors)
DirectX 8
Full-duplex soundcard with one of the following audio devices connected
to it: Handset, headset or microphone and loudspeaker
Network access
Operating system: Windows 2000 (with Service Pack for QoS RSVP) or
Windows XP Professional (with Service Pack 2); installed TCP/IP protocol
for data transfer
A Windows service is activated to control the Quality of Service. The
voice data (RTP) are then prioritized in the network according to IEEE
802.1p (DiffServ marking 'EF'). If you encounter problems such as
one-way communication (one party has trouble hearing another),
they may be due to QoS errors in the network (e.g. switch components
that do not handle 802.1p correctly). In this case, deactivate QoS for
the local network.
