Chapter 1 Introduction
Important
Read these notes on the application of your be.IP 4isdn carefully. Features not in-
cluded in this manual are not supported!
Our Media Gateway be.IP 4isdn with its integrated business router offers easy entry into
the world of IP technology.
The device has been designed with the migration of existing ISDN PABXs to All-IP connec-
tions in mind. "Migration", in this context, means that you are enabled to continue using
your ISDN PABX with all its connected terminals like telephones and fax devices without
having to change the actual PABX configuration. Since our gateway offers four ISDN ports,
it is suitable for locations with multiple ISDN point-to-multi-point or point-to-point connec-
tions. If the four ports prove to be insufficient, you can link two be.IP 4isdn. The resulting
unit enables you to migrate an ISDN PABX with up to eight ISDN connections and 16 sim-
ultaneously used voice channels to an ALL-IP connection.
If you are in need of voice trans-coding, our Media Gateway be.IP 4isdn is a perfect
choice, as well. Due to the use of additional DSPs the number of simultaneously available
connections is significantly higher than with other devices of the be.IP series - even without
the use of ISDN.
Of course, the device also supports all of the common fax applications through CAPI at the
ISDN port. If your company runs a server-based Email system that a third party CAPI inter-
face expands by fax, voice mail and voice messaging, a be.IP 4isdn operating in Media
Gateway mode enables you to control ISDN interfaces on virtualized server systems, too.
Third party CAPI applications connected directly to an ISDN connection often do no longer
work with All IP connections. For this, be.IP 4isdn offers "Fax mode" operation and hence
the possibility to operate your existing systems directly at a SIP connection through CAPI -
entirely without the use of ISDN. Our CAPI2SIP solution will migrate your CAPI applications
into the ALL IP era.
