•
SmartNode 2000 Series device connected to a PBX via one PRI (with IC-E1V card) into an IP network, see
figure 34
on page 57
Data traffic from the LAN attached to ETH 1 for SmartNode 1000 series or to ETH 0/1 for SmartNode 2000
series is routed to the WAN via Ethernet ports ETH 0 or ETH 0/0 respectively. Either standard IP routing or
network address port translation (NAPT) can be configured on the SmartNode according to requirement.
ISDN Gateway; LAN-based PBX or call center applications
LAN-based telephony gateways (GW)
The SmartNode 1400 GW depicted in
figure 35
is utilized as a LAN voice gateway. On the local LAN that is
shown connected to Ethernet port ETH 0, H.323 compliant voice applications are installed on hosts acting as
H.323 terminals. An H.323 terminal is an endpoint in the network that provides for real-time, two-way com-
munications with another H.323 terminal or gateway.
Outbound voice traffic is forwarded via the integrated voice gateway of the SmartNode 1400 to the PSTN.
Inbound voice traffic from the PSTN is terminated on the respective host running the H.323 compliant client
application according to the dialed calling number.
The H.323 gatekeeper is responsible for the translation of IP addresses into E.164 phone numbers (and phone
numbers into IP addresses).
Note
Hosts on the LAN need to be connected to Ethernet port ETH 0 using a hub.
