Chapter 3: Network Requirements
Network Assessment
Perform a network assessment to ensure that the network will have the capacity for the
expected data and voice traffic, and that it can support for all applications:
●
SIP,
●
DHCP,
●
HTTP/HTTPS, and
Also, QoS support is required to run VoIP on your configuration. For more information, see
Appendix B: Related Documentation and the QoS parameters L2QAUD, L2QSIG, DSCPAUD,
and DSCPSIG in Table 11: 1603SW-I SIP IP Deskphones Customizeable System Parameters .
Hardware Requirements
To operate properly, you need:
●
Category 5e cables designed to the IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard, for LAN powering,
●
Avaya Communication Manager 6.0 with Avaya Session Manager or
Avaya Midsize Business Template 5.2.1 with Avaya SES 5.2.1,
●
A cabinet with a TN799C V3 or greater circuit pack or a TN2602 IP Media Processor circuit
pack. Sites with a TN2302 IP Media Processor circuit pack are strongly encouraged to
install a TN2602 circuit pack to benefit from the increased capacity.

Important:
Important:
IP telephone firmware requires TN799C V3 or greater C-LAN circuit pack(s). For
more information, see the
Communication Manager Software and Firmware
Compatibility Matrix on the Avaya support Web site
http://www.avaya.com/support .
Later versions of the Communication Manager S87XX or S85XX can use Processor
Ethernet in place of the C-LAN.
Sites with H.248 gateways will use the Processor Ethernet (procr) on the S8300 in place of
the C-LAN. The media processor resources are embedded on the gateway. See the
gateway documentation for media processor capacity.
To ensure that the appropriate circuit pack(s) are administered on your Communication
Manager call server, see
Chapter 4: Avaya Aura Communication Manager Administration .
