points and MGCP/SIP trunks (gateway and endpoints) in the same Network Group.

4.103 Network Groups define the IP devices that can communicate via P2P audio (see

for details). When you assign an IP device (including SIP endpoints and MGCP/SIP gate-

ways and endpoints) to a circuit, the device is automatically added to the default Network

Group (PP029). This Network Group is not programmed for P2P audio and is not configurable.

To use P2P audio, you must assign the IP devices to a Network Group that is programmed to

support the feature. Before you assign IP devices to a Network Group, however, you must

make sure the hardware is properly upgraded.

Inter-Tel recommends that you run the Network Qualifier (for at least 24 hours) to determine

if the network meets the minimum requirements identified for P2P audio. These require-

ments are the same as those identified for IP private networking, which is described on

4.104 P2P audio requires that you upgrade the IPRC and IP devices (IP phones and IP SLAs)

to the latest version of firmware (v8.1). In addition, each node that will use P2P audio must be

running software version 8.1 or later.

4.105 To upgrade the hardware:

MANUAL VERSION 11.0 – May 2008

To have IP endpoints communicate via P2P to MGCP/SIP gateways, place the IP end-

You cannot delete the default Network Group.

If using more than 16 devices, install the 32-device daughter card on the IPRC.

Run the Upload Utility and upload the latest firmware to the IPRC.

Use the Upload Utility to upload the latest firmware to all IP devices that will use P2P
