Connecting the Ethernet Interface to the Internet
Important: If you would like to integrate the PBX into
an existing network, please contact the system
administrator responsible for this. Making changes to
an existing network may cause considerable
malfunctions. In addition, please note the PBX factory
settings for the Ethernet configuration described on
Page
58.
Requirements
– Minimal distance between the devices
– Broadband Internet connection (for example, DSL
router, TV cable router)
– Existing network (LAN) with the following characteris-
tics:
Data transmission rate 100 Mbit/s
Note: For VoIP data communication in combination
with the transmission of limited amounts of data, a
data transmission rate in the LAN of 10 Mbit/s is
sufficient under certain circumstances. For VoIP data
communication in combination with the transmission
of large amounts of data (for example, downloads),
we recommend upgrading to a data transmission rate
of 100 Mbit/s. For this purpose, replace not only all of
the active network components (for example, the
switch and router) but also all of the passive network
components (for example, cables and wall sockets).
For reliable support of 100 Mbit/s, you need cables
and wall sockets of at least Category 5 (CAT5).
To use DiffServ to prioritize speech packets:
DiffServ support of all active network components
available and enabled
A router that is specifically designed for VoIP data
communication ("SIP aware")
Note: If this is not the case, several of the ports on the
router necessary for VoIP data communication must
be enabled (RTP port and SIP-UDP ports) ("Port
Forwarding"). A list of the ports used in the PBX can
be found in the configuration manager on the PBX
under Administration
Important: Opening a port on the NAT-Router poses
a danger. Therefore additional measures for protec-
tion have to be taken.
– Patch cable
Steps to Take
1.
Insert the end of the cable into the Ethernet socket on
the PBX.
2.
Insert the other end of the cable into the output socket
on the router or into an existing network outlet.
Note: To connect the DSL router to the network
provider, please refer to the documentation provided
by the network provider included with the router. See
