<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Ipitomy is often asked; “what are the minimum requirements of the network”? So here it is. Please use this guide&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 12px;">for what it is, a generalized guide of the needed network environment – NOT the guidelines for the specific network&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">needed for any specific installation. This guide can help to feel better prepared to implement a networkbased&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">system. It is not a guide to establish start-to-finish configuration details.</span><br />
<br />
#'''ISP''': Internet Service Provider—whoever it is, make sure the bandwidth is capable of carrying the data&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 12px;">traffic required PLUS 160KBS for each SIP trunk connection. This is usually only an issue of importance&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">if the user has DSL or other sub-megabit/s connectivity. (160kbs is 0.160mbs)</span><br />
<ul style="margin-left: 80px;"><br />
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">For Remote Acess, Remote Extensions, and branch PBX's its best to have a static IP Address from the ISP for the site.</span></li><br />
</ul><br />
<ol start="2"><br />
<li>'''<span style="font-size: 12px;"></span>'''<span style="font-size: 12px;">'''Router''': this will vary depending on what the site has in place and how the ISP is terminating their service…&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">often they provide the router. The following settings apply to the router:</span></li><br />
</ol><br />
<ul style="margin-left: 80px;"><br />
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;"></span><span style="font-size: 12px;">DCHP—(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) This automatically assigns IP Addresses to devices&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">linked to the Router. If the router doesn’t support DHCP replace it with one that does.</span></li><br />
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">SIP features in the router—TURN THEM OFF!</span></li><br />
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">ALG features in the router—TURN THEM OFF</span></li><br />
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">NAT—(Network Address Translation) This is a means for the router to add data to packets in transit.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">The ability to define five NAT ports is desired.</span></li><br />

Ports that should be “OPEN” (defined for routing to the PBX) are:</span><ul style="margin-left: 40px;"><br />
<li>Port 5060—SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) connections… if you intend to use SIP Trunks, access&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 12px;">the PBX remotely, or Remote Extensions, Port 5060 must be OPENed.</span></li><br />
<li>Ports 10000-20000—Remote Extension call traffic, randomly selected and encrypted for security&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 12px;">these ports&nbsp;''carry&nbsp;''the voice traffic.</span></li><br />
<li>Port 4569—SIP control data for Branch Offices</li><br />
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">Managed—This speaks of Layers in the topology of data routing… to keep this simple, it means that&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">the switch is capable of “managing” traffic on the network to optimize throughput… this data here,&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">that date there sort of thing.</span></li><br />
</ul></li><br />
</ul><br />
<ol start="3"><br />
<li><span style="font-size: 12px;">'''Switch''': This is often part of the router—but it doesn’t have to be. In fact if you’re unsure, make the predetermined&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">decision to install the switch regardless of what’s already on site. It should have:</span></li><br />
</ol><br />
<br />
<br />
<div><div></div></div><div><ul style="margin-left: 80px;"><br />
<li>PoE/POE—(Power Over Ethernet) unless you like lots of wires going from the wall to&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 12px;">the telephone—make sure it has POE; the ability to power the telephone over the same&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">wire as the Ethernet data</span></li><br />
</ul><br />
<ol start="4"><br />
<li>'''<span style="font-size: 12px;"></span>'''<span style="font-size: 12px;">'''UPS '''(Uninterruptable Power Supply) means just that; as long as the battery is&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">charged there is power at the outlets. This is the default power backup of choice.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">We are NOT recommending any particular unit since there are lots to choose&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">from. Look for those that provide power at the outlets from the battery at all&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">times—these provide the most consistent output when power-line fluctuations occur.&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">Those at the right are examples only. You may need one for each component:&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12px;">Router, Switch, PBX...</span></li><br />
