Step 1:

The first step to configuring your Billion router for use with FaktorTel is to login to the administration section of the router.

Open your web browser and type the following address: http://192.168.1.254

You should now see a screen which looks like the diagram below:

In the Username section enter: admin
In the Password section enter: admin

You should now be logged into your Billion Router.

Step 2:

You now need to configure the VOIP section of your router for use with FaktorTel.
Fortunately with the Billion products, they have provided a nice interface for doing so.

First, click on the " Configuration " option in the side menu, as shown below:

Then, click on the " VOIP " option in the menu which appears underneath it, as shown below:

Then click on the " General Settings " option in the menu which appears next, as shown below:

Now click on the " Edit " link, located next to the first phone port. ( It's circled in RED on the screenshot above )

Click on the " Apply " button down the bottom of the page.

Click on the " Save Config " button on the bottom of the page.

Step 7:

Your new router is now setup for use with Faktortel VoIP.
