TMG800 and 1 Installation Guide
2.5.3 Connecting to the Tmedia 1+1 System VoIP Network(s)
Each TMG800 and 1 features dual GigE ports for connection to different VoIP networks. This
provides an access point to manage VoIP traffic. Should one of the IP networks fail, the Tmedia 1+1
system will continue to manage VoIP traffic using the alternate network.
The IP address of the VoIP ports can be modified using the web portal.
Note: Certain configurations of the TMG800 1+1 will exceed 100 Mbps, therefore
1000 Mbps is recommended.
Prerequisites
To connect the TMG800 and 1 to the VoIP network, you will need:
• Two gigabit layer 2 Ethernet switches. A second one is required to support redundancy of the VoIP
interface.
• Four CAT5 Ethernet cables with RJ45 male-male terminations.
• Two IP addresses located on different subnets.
Connections
The TMG800 and 1 are connected to the VoIP network by one or optionally two Ethernet
GigE network links, as shown in figure 2.11 on page 24.
To connect to the VoIP network:
1. Connect the VoIP0 connector from both the TMG800 and 1 to the first Ethernet switch.
2. Connect the VoIP1 connector from both the TMG800 and 1 to the second Ethernet
switch.
