Quick Start
88 Voice over IP (VoIP)
●
Using voice-data compression with compressing codecs, it is also possible
to make multiple IP-based telephone calls simultaneously on a 64 kbit/s
ISDN line
● Use of PC-supported system telephones (so-called “Softphones”) without
extra hardware costs
● Operation of SIP-capable telephony software (see also SIP Telephony
starting on page 101)
● TC system networking using Q.SIG-IP via VPN connections (see also PBX
Networking starting on page 133)
● Setting up a DECTover IP network lets you use existing Ethernet cabling
to set up a DECT network. The special DECT base stations designed for this
purpose, can be handled using Forum 523/524’s Web interface (see
Upn
DECT and DECTover IP® starting on page 121).
Integrating voice and data communication within the Intranet can provide
savings possible and a range of new possibilities. However joint usage of
existing network infrastructure may also cause conflicts, with IP address
configuration via DHCP for example (for details see
Start Procedure starting
on page 114). You should therefore always plan the use of VoIP in the Intranet
together with your network administrator. In order to avoid possible conflicts
please also note the information under
Fundamentals starting on page 92.
