Press OK to dial out.

9. QUICK IP CALL MODE – FOR ADVANCED USERS
Dial an IP address under the same LAN/VPN by keying in the last octet in the IP address. This simulates a PBX function using the CMSA/CD without FreeTEL Networks VoIP Server.

1. 192.168.0.2 Calling 192.168.0.3 – Dial #3 follow by SEND key.
