Figure 2 - VoIP Phones connected to Auxiliary Switch
For architectures employing an auxiliary network switch to connect the phones, we recommend
installing the Vertex between the auxiliary switch and the main switch. The original connection is
removed and the Gateway Router is connected to the Network Switch through the VoIP Bridge ports
on the Vertex. Removal of the original connection allows all VoIP traffic to flow through the Vertex
“VoIP Bridge Ports”. The Vertex “Management Port” can be connected to any switch on the network.
Green lines indicate new connections below.
Depending on your application software, the data output will be delivered via the Management Port
connection or the serial port.
