(if the multi-company variant is activated). In addition, the Comfort Pro S can be used as an Internet access server. RAS access can also be implemented using the Comfort Pro S, which enables the integration of external staff in the LAN.
In a single LAN it is possible to use various protocols for the transmission of data. The connection between a workstation computer and the Comfort Pro S runs via the IP protocol (also named TCP/IP) used on the Internet. IP can be used together with other protocols (e.g. NetBEUI, AppleTalk or IPX/SPX) on the same network.

Comfort Pro S in a Serverless LAN RAS Access You can establish a connection to the Comfort Pro S from an external PC via a VPN connection or via an ISDN card. VPN (Virtual Private Networking) is a technology to connect an external PC over an existing Internet access using a secured and encrypted data connection.
In many cases, an IP-enabled server configures the IP settings via DHCP for all workstations. In networks in which the IP settings are made manually, you have to enter the corresponding IP settings in the Comfort Pro S Configurator (Network: LAN menu). Additionally you should change the DHCP server to static address assignment (in the Network: DHCP menu) to enable the Comfort Pro S, for example to configure connected VoIP system telephones.
Internet Access You can also use the Comfort Pro S as an Internet access server in a LAN with an IP-enabled server. To do this, you must enter the Comfort Pro S IP address on the server as the default gateway. In addition, you must edit the internal DNS server configuration so that the resolution of external DNS names is forwarded to the Comfort Pro S.
RAS Access In a LAN with an IP-enabled server you can also enable external computers to dial in via the Comfort Pro S. To do this, you should coordinate with the network administrator the IP address space which can be assigned to an external computer dialling in, and enter it in the Configurator, Network: RAS: PPTP/IPSEC/ISDN menu, under Address Range.
In case of a VPN connection, both Comfort Pro S systems use an Internet connection to transfer data. For encryption, the protocols PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec (Secured IP) can be used. In case on an ISDN connection, you configure two Comfort Pro S systems so that they can dial in to each other.
■ ISDN: If an IP data transfer is required to the other LAN, the Comfort Pro S initiates a dial-in via ISDN. Note that such a connection is only set up when specific requests are made. These can be for FTP file transfers, e-mails or downloading Web pages.
One of the most important services in the Internet is e-mail. E-mails are buffered in individual e-mail accounts on a mail server. Mail servers are operated by ISPs for example. With the Comfort Pro S you can set up one or more e-mail accounts for every user account configured on the Comfort Pro S.

Voice over IP (VoIP) Quick Start A configuration dialogue of SIP telephony software 7. You can only conduct a certain number of telephone calls simultaneously with internal SIP telephones. The number licenced can be viewed on the System: Licences page. The number of SIP telephones currently licenced can be determined on the System Info: Telephony: SIP phones page.
Fundamentals Voice over IP (VoIP) Fundamentals VoIP makes the transmission of voice and telephony signalling via IP (“Internet Protocol”) possible. After a connection is established, the terminal collects voice data (PCM data), which is then sent to the receiver using an IP packet.
Voice over IP (VoIP) Fundamentals The following table provides an overview of the required bandwidth for a telephone connection with various parameter settings. The values apply to half-duplex ethernet; for full-duplex the values can be halved. Required bandwidth (kbit/s) with respect to Packet Length and Codec Packet Length G.711 (not G.729A...
Page 101
Fundamentals Voice over IP (VoIP) When a call is set up, the terminals involved negotiate the voice-data compression (“codec”) that will be used. This is the first factor that determines the achievable quality level: ■ G.711 A-Law or µ-Law (Level 1, uncompressed): The audio data of a PCM channel (64 kbit/s) is adopted one-to-one.
Modern switch components also evaluate the TOS byte of IP packets, thereby providing the optimal prerequisites for VoIP telephony. Note: The Comfort Pro S uses a TOS byte (“Type of Service”) value of 0xB8 for IP packets with VoIP data. This requests “Minimise Delay” and “Maximise Throughput”...
Fundamentals Voice over IP (VoIP) Channels on a Media Gateway (MGW) are allocated for making a telephone connection with an ordinary terminal or for dial tones. The MGW converts IP voice data into PCM data streams used with conventional telephony and vice versa. For this, IP voice data are exchanged between the IP telephone and the gateway. Switching between voice data channels may cause a slight delay in some circumstances.
■ Software MGW The system software for Comfort Pro S provides a Media Gateway function. Depending on the system processor utilisation and available system memory up to 32 MGW additional channels may be available. The Media Gateway function provided by the system software has the following features: ■...
The MGW interface card is connected to the internal ethernet switch via the slot. No external ports operating via pressure terminals are provided. ■ A MGW interface card can be installed in slot 2 of Comfort Pro S. ■ The MGW interface card supports all the codecs, as well as the silence detection, echo suppression and DTMF tone detection used by VoIP telephones.
The value for this time-out can be defined for each SIP provider separately. ■ You must log on (“Login”) to the SIP registrar before you can use SIP telephony. Use the Comfort Pro S to manage important information for the registration (user name and password) of one or more SIP...

For this reason, incoming RTP calls often fail to get past the Firewall or NAT configuration of the Internet gateway product used. If you do not use the Comfort Pro S as the Internet gateway, the product should be compatible with SIP telephony. These products provide a “Full Cone NAT”...
SIP telephones connected via LAN or SIP programmes installed on workstation computers can thus establish connections to all other devices or trunks connected to the Comfort Pro S. For operation as a SIP server a MGW Interface Card is required.

. The text portion of the SIP-URI (“Display Name”) is not evaluated at log-on from the Comfort Pro S. The series of characters before “@” is the “User Name” or “SIP Username”. The internal call number of the user must always be used here (the Ph.No. field in the Configurator under User Manager: User).
Page 110
Alongside code number procedures, SIP subscribers can also use a series of functional features realized via the SIP protocol. The Comfort Pro S is the ending for all SIP connections as opposed to what is usually the case on the Internet. This enables SIP subscribers to use Comfort Pro S features. Direct data exchange is thus not possible between two SIP subscribers.
VoIP System Telephones Voice over IP (VoIP) VoIP System Telephones The following telephones and software packages are available for VoIP system telephony: ■ Comfort Pro P 300: This is a VoIP-enabled edition of the Comfort Pro P 300 system telephone. This system telephone can be extended with up to three display-less key extensions.
Standard operating procedure is to contact the Comfort Pro S’s DHCP server so that the start procedure can be concluded without problems. To register a new VoIP system telephone, proceed as follows: 1.
Page 113
The MAC address of all VoIP system telephones always begins with 00:30:42. 2. Configure a fixed IP address for the Comfort Pro S. To do this, call up the Configurator and open the Network: LAN page. Click on the Change button.
Start Procedure It may sometimes be useful to understand a VoIP system telephone’s start procedure. Examples: ■ A complex DHCP address assignment prevents the operation of the Comfort Pro S’s DHCP server within the LAN. ■ A VoIP system should be operated with a non-broadcast-capable IP connection. This may be an RAS connection, a VPN connection or another type of routed connection.
5. The VoIP system telephone creates a TCP connection to the supplied IP-address/port-number combination and sends a registration query. The Comfort Pro S checks the MAC address sent with the registration and confirms the registration request if the VoIP system telephone is listed in the menu Telephony: Devices: VoIP Phones.

Comfort Pro S provides all the features necessary for PBX networking. You need PBX networking in the following cases: ■ To operate the Comfort Pro S as a subsidiary system on another PBX. This will also allow you to use the Comfort Pro S as a DECT server, for example. ■...
PBX Networking Connections Trunk line Point-to-point connection Example of a PBX network Various line types and transmission protocols can be used for point-to-point connections. The required network topology (distance, connection capacity) determines which type of point-to-point connection is most suitable. A Q.SIG-IP network connection can be established using a fast VPN connection.
Example: propagation of the L1 clock If more than one port with the setting L1 Type = “Slave” is configured on an Comfort Pro S and the setting L1 sync possible has been activated, then one of the ports is automatically defined as the L1 clock source.
PBX Networking Types of Point-to-Point Connections When applying the L1 clock of trunk lines, you can assume that the public network is “clock-aligned”. So, in the above example, you can connect additional trunk lines to one of the PBXs. Types of Point-to-Point Connections There are different types of connection available for an point-to-point connection between two PBXs, depending on the distance between them.
If you are operating a fast and continuous internet connection at two or more locations, you can establish the TK system networking via internet connection as well. The Comfort Pro S uses the Q.SIG protocol, for use with ISDN point-to-point connections and transports the protocol and voice data via IP connections.
Currently, there are no standards for the necessary extensions to the Q.SIG protocol. This means that you can only use Q.SIG-IP between Comfort Pro systems. Networking two Comfort Pro S systems using Q.SIG-IP requires 2 licences – one licence per system. The number of possible voice connections is not restricted by the licence.
Configuration PBX Networking In the above example, the following bundles are configured for PBX 1: ■ Two S lines in a multi-terminal configuration to the network operator which are assigned to the “A” bundle. ■ Two S point-to-point connections to PBX 2 which are assigned to the “C” bundle. ■...
PBX network. With closed numbering, the Comfort Pro S determines which route to seize from the telephone number dialled. The information needed for routing a call can be configured in a numbering table containing up to 100 entries.
Technical Details A different PBX number must be set for each Comfort Pro S in a PBX network. This setting can be found in the Web console, in the menu Telephony: Settings under the heading QSIG linking. You can also set the maximum value for the transit counter there.
Telephony E.164 conversion The Comfort Pro S communications system supports two different types of call numbers when dialling external call numbers. Usually you enter the code for a route, e. g. a “0” for the “external line” route. Then you enter an external call number.

Introduction Team Functions Team Functions Introduction With the team functions you can manage your telephone communication tasks by assigning lines with separate call numbers to the keys of different terminals. The terminal users, or team members, can thus pick up one another’s calls or telephone each other using the configured keys. Team functions can only be configured on the Comfort Pro P 100 / 300 / 500 system telephones because only these have the required features.
Page 154
Team Functions Introduction The following keys can be used: ■ Trunk key: Calls (for the programmed call number, e.g. 11) are signalled to this key, and you can make internal and external calls via this number. A trunk key can be programmed with a substitute function (with another team member acting as the substitute).
Direct call keys, for example, can be configured at a terminal in a conference room to call the secretary. Team Configuration You can create teams and programme call keys in the Configurator of the Comfort Pro S (Telephony: Groups and Telephony: Ports: Upn menu).
Team Functions Examples of Use Examples of Use The following examples illustrate the various uses of teams and team functions. For information on the display texts and how to use the individual functions, refer to the chapter “Managing Calls in a Team” in the “Comfort Pro P 100 / 300 / 500” user guide. Executive/Secretary Team In this example, the executive/secretary team comprises two members: the executive and the secretary.
Page 157
Examples of Use Team Functions Call numbers 11 and 10 are both configured as a trunk key on the executive’s and the secretary’s terminal respectively. Thus the executive and the secretary can use either call number (for answering as well as making calls).
Team Functions Examples of Use Three-member Team The three-member team described here is an example of a team configuration within a project group, e.g. export sales. Each team member has one Comfort Pro P 300 system telephone with all call keys programmed as trunk and team keys.
Examples of Use Team Functions Line Busy Indication If a line is busy, e.g. TrK 11 Johnson, the team keys 11 on Miller’s and Smith’s telephones will indicate this. Call Signalling In this example, calls via the trunk keys are signalled acoustically. Calls via the team keys are indicated by a visual signal (the team key LED flashes).
Team Functions Examples of Use In this team configuration it is useful to programme one of the function keys on each telephone with the “Hold” function. A call, e.g. for TrK 11, can then be put on hold by pressing the function key. If another team member then presses trunk key TrK 11 on his telephone, he can accept the call.
Page 161
Examples of Use Team Functions Line Busy Indication If a line is busy, e.g. TrK 10 on Miller’s telephone, the appropriate team key will indicate this, e.g. TK 10 on Johnson’s telephone. Call Signalling In this example, calls via trunk keys are signalled acoustically. Calls via team keys are indicated by a visual signal (the team key LED flashes).
Calls in a queue are handled by the Comfort Pro S in the following order of priority: instant connection, door calls, automatic recalls, VIP calls, then other internal and external calls. Sensor calls thus have priority over other calls, for example.
Introduction Call Queue Activation of Queues Queues can be activated on a per user group basis. On delivery the default set, for all preset groups, is off. When using queues, it often makes sense to activate call waiting protection. For this purpose, Call waiting protection authorisation must be allocated to the user group, and call waiting protection must be activated on the terminal.
Call Queue Examples of Use Hunt Groups Hunt groups of the “parallel” type are usually used together with queues, with the queues of each telephone in the group being synchronised to each other. When a call to the number of the hunt group arrives, the call enters all parallel queues.
Examples of Use Call Queue Call wait. prot. Protection ■ Activate (call waiting protection) on both terminals in the menu. ■ Configure a feature key on the Comfort Pro P 500 which activates / deactivates a “call forwarding immediately” to the telephone number of the mobile Comfort Pro CM 300 / CM 500 / CM 510 (in the Call diversion: Divert phone: Immediately menu Incoming calls are routed to the Comfort Pro P 500 manned by the operator, who then puts the calls through.
Page 166
Call Queue Examples of Use ■ Under Telephony: Call Distribution: Incoming or Telephony: Call Distribution: Incoming DDI route all incoming calls to the number of the hunt group. ■ In the Configurator, create a new group called “Operators” under User Manager: User groups. Activate the Call queue and Call waiting protection authorisations for this group.
The Comfort Pro S hardware and software are used equally by all the companies, however. It is possible to configure the Comfort Pro S for each company and define the extent to which the features of the system may be used.
(see Allocating Routing Codes starting on page 168). 6. An exchange must be set up for each company so that the Comfort Pro S can correctly process statuses in which a call should be routed to the exchange (see Configuring the Company Exchange starting on page 169).
Configuring and Managing Companies Up to 5 companies can be configured in the Comfort Pro S. By default, one company with the name “Company 1” is predefined. All configuration settings, e.g. in the user groups or in the bundle configuration, apply to this predefined default company if not other company has been selected.
To be able to correctly transfer incoming calls to the members of the configured companies (the users) via the lines of a certain bundle of the Comfort Pro S, each of the available bundles must be assigned to one of the companies. This is necessary to be able to transfer incoming external calls to the correct company exchange in cases where the called internal subscriber cannot be reached (“Connection to...
Working with the Multi-Company Variant All the features of the Comfort Pro S which the users may already be familiar with from the single-company variant are available in the multi-company variant. These features can be used to the same extent and can be used in exactly the same way.
Foreign telephone books can only be edited in the Configurator in the Phone Book menu. The number of entries in a company telephone book is unrestricted. The Comfort Pro S can manage up to 2,000 entries in all telephone books (in the central, personal and company telephone books).
With a TAPI (Telephony Application Programming Interface) you can operate a CTI application (Computer Telephony Integration). Here, the CTI application uses the services of the Comfort Pro S with the help of the TAPI driver installed on a Windows PC.
Page 174
In the CTI server box you must enter the DNS name or the IP address of the Comfort Pro S. Using the […] button you can search for this in the LAN. In the boxes Username and Password you enter the user data of one of the users configured on the Comfort Pro S.
With a CAPI driver (Common Application Programming Interface) Windows programmes are able to access services and functions of an ISDN card. With a network-based CAPI, the Comfort Pro S allows the use of ISDN functions also by workstation computers in which no ISDN card is integrated.
