Introduction
Introduction
This document provides information and procedures needed to install a network of the KX-
TDA0480. Although the KX-TDA0480 installation process is straightforward, careful
planning will smooth the process and allow for trouble-free expansion and upgrading.
Steps associated with assigning network addresses and creating a network telephone
numbering system should be performed by persons experienced in network administration. For
complex installations, it may be useful to create a diagram of the network similar to those used
in various sections of this document. Planning issues are addressed in Section Planning: of this
document.
In addition to this introduction, this document is organised into the following sections:
• KX-TDA0480 Overview
• Planning
• Physical Installation
• Logical Installation
At the end of this document are appendices that provide detailed information on topics that will
be useful during the planning and installation process.
"Appendix" sections deal with advanced topics related to installing and configuring a IP
Gateway network.
In the case of smaller networks it may not be necessary to refer to these topics. As networks
grow in complexity, these topics will augment the information provided in the main body of
this guide. Additionally, it may be necessary to refer to the KX-TDA0480 Programming Guide.
The last appendix in this section contains worksheet reproduction masters that can be used in
the IP Gateway network planning process.
