Will my terminal work with a VOIP connection?
Since the emergence of VOIP phone systems in the business world, this has been a common question.
Most credit card terminals will not work with a VOIP telephone connection. A VOIP connection uses a digital phone network which involves switches and multiplexing to transfer data. Most credit card machines use an analog type connection that is incompatible with a digital circuit.
The easiest way to use a broadband connection is to use a Verifone Omni 3740 or Omni 3750 with the ethernet adapter. These terminals in conjunction with a router will allow you to connect all of your electronics easily through the same internet connection.
It may be possible to use an analog to digital converter, but since this is a very expensive and technically advanced process it is not documented or recommended.
