Connecting to a VoIP Network
The 3200 series gateway features dual GigE ports for connection to different VoIP networks. This
provides an access point to manage VoIP traffic. Should one of the IP networks fail, the 3200 series
gateway will continue to manage VoIP traffic using the alternate network.
The IP address of the VoIP ports can be modified using the web portal.
Note:
Certain configurations of the 3200 series gateway will exceed 100 Mbps,
therefore 1000 Mbps is recommended.
Prerequisites
To connect the 3200 series gateway to the VoIP network, you will need:
•
Gigabit layer 2 Ethernet switch. A second one is required to support redundancy of the VoIP
interface.
•
One or two CAT5 Ethernet cables with RJ45 male-male terminations.
•
If your system has access to a second VoIP network, you can connect it to a second VoIP interface
of the 3200 series gateway with an RJ45 (male-male) CAT5 Ethernet cable.
Connections
The 3200 series gateway is connected to the VoIP network by one or optionally two Ethernet GigE
network links, as shown in
To connect to the VoIP network:
1.
Connect a CAT5 Ethernet cable to VoIP0 at the rear of the 3200 series gateway. Connect the other
end of the same CAT5 cable to the Gigabit Ethernet switch.
2.
If your system employs a second Gigabit Ethernet switch for redundancy, connect a second CAT5
Ethernet cable to VoIP1 at the rear of the 3200 series gateway. Connect the other end of the same
CAT5 cable to the second Gigabit Ethernet switch.
