A1 VoIP Requirements VoIP Requirements A1.1 Bandwidth Assessment To establish a VoIP network, you must ensure that the network has enough bandwidth to support VoIP communications. Inform your network administrator of the required bandwidth, and make sure that the network can support VoIP communications even under conditions of maximum network traffic.
Required Bandwidth for Fax Communication Via LAN FAX High Reliable Method Don’t Use Via WAN (PPP: Point-to-Point Protocol) FAX High Reliable Method Don’t Use Example Consider the following case as an example: • Communication: via LAN • No. of Fax Machines: 1 •...
Page 54
A1 VoIP Requirements Is it possible to have static IP addressing? Because the maintenance of the VoIP Gateway Card is carried out from a personal computer (PC) through an IP network, the card must be assigned a static IP address. Static IP addressing must be made possible even when the DHCP feature is used.
Page 55
Does only a single router provide access to the IP network? In a dual network, two routers provide access to the IP network as shown in the diagram below. However, the VoIP Gateway Card cannot take the advantage of having two routers as access points to the IP network.
Page 56
A1 VoIP Requirements Is there only a single IP network between two ends of a call? A huge degradation in speech quality will be produced when calls are made through multiple IP networks as shown below; therefore, it is recommended that you avoid establishing a VoIP network in this fashion.
Is the card located appropriately? Transmission delays can cause pauses and loss in VoIP communications. The more network devices (e.g., routers and switches) there are between the communicating cards, the larger the transmission delays, because a certain amount of delay is inevitable when packets go through each network device (hop).
A1 VoIP Requirements *2 For the actual setting values, refer to "2.2.1 Network Parameters" in the VoIP Gateway Card Programming Guide. Are layer 2 or higher switches used? Use of repeater hubs can increase the network load, and therefore may result in degradation in speech quality.
VoIP Requirements Checklist Use the following checklists to see if you can implement a VoIP network. The answers identified in underlined bold-face letters are the required answers for the corresponding questions. Bandwidth Assessment Question Does the network have enough bandwidth to support VoIP communications? Make sure that there is more bandwidth available for VoIP communications than the...
Page 60
A2 VoIP Requirements Checklist Network Devices Question Can the firewall pass packets from the VoIP Gateway Card? When a firewall is used, make sure to configure the firewall appropriately to allow VoIP packets to pass through the network without being blocked by filtering. Are layer 2 or higher switches used? Do not use repeater hubs as they can increase the network load.
B1 Extension Number Method Extension Number Method This section provides a numbering plan example using the extension number method, as supplementary information to the PBX code method discussed in "1.2.2 Numbering Plan Example". B1.1 Example Network The following diagram illustrates a simple VoIP network configured for the extension number method.
B1.2 Numbering Plan Example IP Addressing Information The following table is a duplication of the table used for the PBX code method. Los Angeles Card IP 200.45.11.35 199.176.64.41 Address Default Gateway 200.45.11.1 Address Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 Address PBX Numbering Information The following table contains "VoIP Gateway Trunk (CO Line) Access Number", instead of "PBX Code"...
Page 64
B1 Extension Number Method Dialing Examples With the extension number method, the caller dials only the destination number of the called party to call through PBXs at different locations. Calling from Los Angeles to Chicago To extension 301 via VoIP network extension no.
Programming for the Extension Number Method When programming the VoIP Gateway Cards and PBXs for use in a network configured for the extension number method instead of the PBX code method, some of the steps in the programming procedures require different setting values. The following two sections provide specific steps that require different setting values.
