LAN is heavily firewalled, subject to overloaded traffic conditions, or has security concerns. Better performance is
possible if VH2 has its own Internet connection.
Since there may be bandwidth, firewall, and security concerns with installing VH2 on a managed LAN, it is
recommended that your IT manager be consulted in these environments. The details that follow assume a working
knowledge of IT topics and network configuration.
On VH2, the single Ethernet port handles connections to your phone lines and your web interface. IP addressing
can be DHCP or Static, but if you are using the companion VoIP phone in your system, you will need to assign a
Static IP address to the Ethernet port in order for the phone to find the VH2.
about usIng tHe VH2 coMPanIon PHone
In a typical studio environment, it is convenient to be able to use a telephone set in conjunction with a telephone
hybrid. This allows for outgoing calls to be placed, calls to be answered and screened, and for conversations to
take place “off-air”. VH2 supports this function with the approved VoIP companion phone (currently the
Polycom
IP 331
). The VH2 can emulate the function of sharing a call between the hybrid and the phone, and “bouncing”
a call between them with a single button push. The phone will require special settings (as outlined in section
IV.

to be configured as an extension of the VH2.
