Gizmo
The Gizmo telephone adapter converts voice signals from your telephone into the digital "IP" format required for transmission over your broadband connection. The gizmo is connected to your DSL or cable modem, your PC or router, and to any digital phone. DexterMO Internet's newest Gizmos measure about 3 3/14" x 4" and take up about as much space as a set of table coasters.
What Do I Need?
To use DexterVOIP Service with the gizmo make sure you have:
- High-speed broadband service in your home - either through a cable or DSL modem. Your modem speed will need a minimum upstream and downstream capacity of 120 kbps. Test your broadband speed now.
- A valid credit card to secure your purchase and to cover your DexterVOIP charges.
- A modem that uses an Ethernet cord, not USB. If you don't have an Ethernet port, you should be able to purchase a USB adapter for use with the DexterVOIP gizmo (telephone adapter).
Additional Tips:
- If you are using a DexterVOIP gizmo (an adapter), an expandable cordless phone system with more than one handset is recommended so that you will be able to use your DexterVOIP Service throughout your home.
- To use the Member Account Manager, make sure your computer's Internet browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher (for Windows), or Apple Safari 1.0 or higher (on Mac OS 9 or OS X). All versions of Opera and Mozilla, including Firefox, are compatible with DexterMO Internet.
