5.8.3 Installing SIP Phones at a Remote Site
If an SBC (Session Border Controller) is present on the same local network as the KX-NS500, you can install
SIP phones at remote sites without needing to configure special network settings (NAT traversal, etc.).
This section provides information about the procedure for connecting SIP Phones at a remote site that has
SBC hardware.
When SIP phones in remote sites use the internet to communicate with the PBXs, use the HTTPS protocol for
security. If the connection is within a VPN and protected, you may use the HTTP protocol.

Note
•
Install the SBC in the same LAN as the KX-NS500.
•
A KX-NS500 can work with only one SBC. Also, multiple sites can share an SBC.
•
A KX-NS500 can support up to 20 remote extensions at the same time via SBC when using the HTTPS
protocol.
•
All the RTP packets in between the main site and the remote site is routed to the SBC for security and
for IP address conversion.
•
When settings of remote extensions being used at remote sites are changed at the KX-NS500 at the
main site, the reflection of the changes to the remote extension may require some time due to data
transfer protocols.
Programming the KX-NS500
Follow the procedures below to configure remote port settings using Web Maintenance Console.
Note
