1. Will this system be a standalone system or part of a voice network?
This will help determine the numbering plan and the LAN/WAN requirements. If the X-50 is going to be a
standalone system, the default numbering plan should be fine. However, if the system is going to be connected to
a voice network, the numbering plan may need to be modified to allow direct dialing to specific locations. See
"Numbering Plan" on page
there is no need to set up the "WAN" port, and the system's location is a lot more flexible.
2. Will this system be the "Master" system in a Voice Network?
If this system is part of a voice network, will it be the master system? If so, it will require a "Static IP Address". If
not, it can use a DHCP Address, because it will be programmed to synchronize with the master system.
3. Will this system have any remote workers?
A remote worker is someone who uses the telephone system's resources but does not reside in the same building
or physical area. Connecting remote workers requires a static Class A or B IP Address and the ISP's DSL/Cable
modem should be programmed as a bridge or concurrent bridge.
The X-50 VoIP Telephone
System must have a static
Class A or B IP Address when
connecting multiple systems
or remote workers.
4. Will the system be connected to PSTN Lines?
This may determine where the system will be located. If PSTN lines are being used it is a good idea to locate the
X-50 VoIP Telephone System close to where they enter the building.
