Vertex Connections

Managed VoIP involves additional equipment on site that handles most of the
VoIP switching, routing, and call processing. If you have a Managed VoIP
system, your IT person and/or telephone switch provider will know the details.
Managed VoIP service employs a SIP server device on site to process calls.
Some SIP servers also provide the Gateway for all external VoIP traffic. The
SIP server/Gateway can be an Asterisk PC or Telephone switch card fed with a
SIP Trunk or ISDN PRI circuit.
An Asterisk switch is technically a Managed
VoIP system. But, if the VoIP gateway is the same as the Data Gateway,
refer to the Hosted VoIP diagrams.
Re-route the connection carrying all VoIP traffic through the two Vertex “VoIP
Bridge Ports”. Connect the Management Port to the Network Switch.

Fig. 3 - Hosted with Separate VoIP & Data Networks
This network architecture is seen with controlled POS systems that supply a
separate router enabling all their equipment to reside within its own subnet.
Remove the original VoIP connection (dotted line below) and route the
connection carrying all VoIP traffic through the two Vertex “VoIP Bridge Ports”.
If the POS application collects Caller ID via Ethernet, connect the Vertex
“Management Port”
your PC running the Vertex Config. Tool (VCT) to the
and
Data Subnet Router, as shown in the diagram below. If the POS obtains
Caller ID data through a Serial Port, connect the Management Port
your
and
PC running VCT to the VoIP network.
If DHCP is enabled, the Data Gateway MAC is obtained automatically upon
Vertex re-boot. If not, it will need to be entered manually. If the Management
Port is connected to the Subnet Router, use that MAC as the Data Gateway.
