Connecting to the Data Network
The 7800-CTRL feature dual GigE ports for connection to multiple VoIP networks.
The data Ethernet ports can be used for, among other things, SIP signaling, if you purchased the
performance option. Your network design will dictate whether you need them.
The IP address of the VoIP ports are configured using the Web Portal.
