5.1 INTRODUCTION TO VOIP

The TalkSwitch 48-CVA is a hybrid PSTN/VoIP phone system. The addition of
VoIP to the TalkSwitch product line adds the ability to use a broadband IP
connection for voice calls.
The TalkSwitch 48-CVA can be used in many different applications. The most
popular configurations are multi-branch, teleworker integration and service
provider integration.

5.2 OPTIMIZING YOUR IP NETWORK FOR VOIP

5.2.1 The Broadband Connection

For optimum quality of VoIP calls on your system, we recommend that you
subscribe to a high-speed broadband connection from your Service Provider.
'Lite' broadband connections (typically 128 Kbps downstream and 64 Kbps
upstream) are not suitable for simultaneous voice and data traffic. The
limiting factor for a broadband connection is the upstream bandwidth to the
Internet Service Provider.
