Purpose
UDP is a connectionless
messaging protocol for delivery
of data packets.
VoIP enables you to transfer
voice communications over a
data network using the Internet
Protocol.
The IP Conference Station functions much like the traditional analog
conferencing unit allowing you to set up and place conference calls and receive
calls. The IP Conference Station also supports features such as call hold, redial,
and mute.
In addition to these traditional telephony features, the IP Conference Station also
includes features enabling you to administer and monitor it as an IP networking
device. On the IP Conference Station, you can locally configure features such as
DHCP, TFTP, and IP settings.You can also integrate the IP Conference Station
with the corporate Lightweight Directory Access Protocol 3 (LDAP3) standard
directory to enable users to search for co-workers' contact information directly
from the IP Conference Station. From Cisco CallManager, you can modify
additional settings, which are viewable from the IP Conference Station's network
configuration settings. Use this guide for information about configuring these
settings.
The IP Conference Station includes the following connections for accessing the
data network and providing power to the station:
Power Interface Module (PIM) for connection between the
•
IP Conference Station and the network.
A single RJ-45 connector for accessing the data network and connecting to
•
the PIM, which provides power to the IP Conference Station.
