STEP 4 Make sure your network has an active Internet connection. Try to access the Internet, and check to see if the ATA WAN LED is flashing green. If you do not have a connection, then power off all of your network devices, including the modem, the ATA, and the computers. Wait 30 seconds.

On the Voice > Info page, Line 1 or Line 2 Status section, verify that the Registration State is registered.

Consider the following possible causes and solutions: • Network activity There may be heavy network activity, particularly if you are running a server or using a file sharing program. Try to limit network or Internet activity during Internet phone calls. For example, if you are running a file sharing program, files may be uploaded in the background even though you are not downloading any files, so make sure you exit the program before making Internet phone calls. • Bandwidth There may insufficient bandwidth available for your Internet phone call. You may want to test your bandwidth by using one of the bandwidth tests available online. If necessary, access your Internet phone service account and reduce the bandwidth requirements for your service. For more information, refer to the website of your ITSP.
