Using the SX682 WiMAX
When you have finished configuring your SX682 WiMAX, use it to surf the Internet,
send e-mails or make phone calls via the Internet etc.
As soon as you attempt to access the Internet with a PC connected to the SX682
WiMAX (for example, by opening the Web browser and calling up an Internet site, or
by starting your e-mail program and retrieving e-mails), your SX682 WiMAX automati-
cally establishes a connection to the Internet or uses the permanent Internet connec-
tion. Whether the connection needs to be established or is permanently available
depends on your provider's default settings.
Making a phone call or faxing with the SX682 WiMAX
You can use your SX682 WiMAX to make calls via the Internet (VoIP) and operate a
fax machine or answer machine without installing any additional software. If you wish,
for example, to make a phone call via the Internet, you do not need to switch on your
PC.
In order to operate an analogue terminal on your SX682 WiMAX, the following precon-
ditions must be satisfied:
 You have an analogue terminal (telephone, fax machine or answer machine) con-
nected to your SX682 WiMAX.
 Internet telephony (VoIP) is included in your contract with your provider. This is nec-
essary as your provider needs to set up VoIP access for you. You can find out
whether VoIP access is configured in your SX682 WiMAX either from the documen-
tation given to you by your provider or by referring to the relevant status page on
your SX682 WiMAX; see Chapter "Telephony" on page 48.
 Your SX682 WiMAX will adjust extremely flexibly to your requirements: if you wish
to make a call via VoIP, the SX682 WiMAX will automatically provide a permanent
bandwidth for the purpose. This enables good voice quality when making a call via
VoIP.
 You need a permanent Internet connection if you wish to be permanently accessible
and make calls via VoIP.
The VoIP features may vary considerably, depending on your provider's VoIP configu-
ration. You should therefore read the documentation given to you by your provider and,
where applicable, visit your provider's Internet site for further options.
i
Please note that you cannot make phone calls via the Internet in the
event of a power failure.
Ask your provider which emergency numbers are available via the VoIP
connection. It is also possible that service numbers cannot be reached in
the usual way.
Ask your provider about VoIP rates for VoIP connections.
