Planning

2.2 Worksheets

Because the KX-TDA0480 is designed to accommodate a variety of network scenarios, a wide
range of parameters can be configured. Although in simpler installations, the default settings
will often be sufficient, some applications may require that specific parameters be adjusted to
match existing network interfaces.
Whether the installation is simple or more complex, configuration information needs to be on-
hand once the installation of the KX-TDA0480 begins. This information should be determined
during the network planning process.
At a minimum, IP addressing, telephone network, and telephone numbering plans must be
provided. Additionally, Network, PBX, and PSTN interface parameters may be needed.
Finally, information about special features to be implemented will need to be prepared.
The worksheets described in this section are designed to assist in the network planning process
and should be filled-out before beginning physical and logical installation. To make the process
easier, they employ a top-down strategy, follow a recommended order of operations, and
conform to the Maintenance Console Software's interface.
Determining the information to be recorded on these worksheets requires a specific knowledge
of any existing network, existing PBX telephone systems, and a thorough knowledge of IP
network addressing methods and telephone numbering systems.
Data from the Sample Network Diagram illustrated in Appendix A1 of this document are
included. Where applicable, field defaults and applied values are indicated in the text by an
underscore. Sample network IP addressing and telephone numbering examples are illustrated
in Appendices A1 and A2.
Reproduction masters for the worksheets can be found in Appendix A8.

2.2.1 Network Worksheets

The Network worksheets are designed to allow the planning process to be conducted using a
top-down approach.
Network worksheets organise information about the KX-TDA0480 in a summary fashion, so
that the relationship between the network IP addressing and numbering plan can be easily seen.
Also, if DNS facilities are used instead of an H.323 Gatekeeper, this information must be
supplied to the DNS entities so that all KX-TDA0480 can be made aware of one another.
Reproduction masters for all worksheets in this section are included Appendix A8 of this
document.

2.2.2 Network Units List Worksheet

Use the Network Units List Worksheet to record unit identifications and IP addressing
information to be installed in the network.
This worksheet is designed for use as a master list of key unit information and is useful in
planning the deployment of units.
The seven fields are to be completed for each KX-TDA0480 installed in the network. The
information contained on this worksheet will be transferred to individual unit setup worksheets
discussed later in this section.
