The setup instructions are the same for all of these websites, all you have to do is make sure to use the correct domain name where your account was created when you enter the SIP proxy.
Plug in the adapter's power, the WAN port to your router or modem, the LAN port to your computer and the phone into the Phone 1 port. Open a web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc) and enter the IP address 192.168.100.1 in the address field (if that doesn't work, try 192.168.101.1).
You will be prompter for a password. Enter admin, of if the adapter was factory reset, use ~~}ps. You will be directed to the main status page.
Click the SIP menu on the left.
Enter the following settings:
- IP address: sip.betamaxdomain.com (replace betamaxdomain.com with the correct domain where you made your account - for example, for voipstunt.com, enter sip.voipstunt.com)
- Port: 5060
- Domain name: same as the IP address field
Under Line1:
- Phone number: this is the username that you created on one of the Betamax websites and that you use for the softphone
- CallerID Name: you can enter your name here
- User Name: same as Phone number

Note: Normally, Betamax requires the numbers to be dialed as 00+Country code+Number (this is the international dialing format from Europe). With the dial plan as above, all overseas calls will have to be dialed in that format. Also, you will be able to dial North American numbers as Area code+7 digits or 1+Area code+7 digits.
Now go to CODECS link on the left menu.
Enable the G729 codec then click Save CODEC Configuration at the bottom.
