Music on hold
Music that is played while you are
Consultation call or Toggling . The
waiting participant hears music while
on hold.
N
NAT
Network Address Translation
Method for converting (private)
IP addresses to one or more (public)
IP addresses. NAT enables the
IP addresses of Network subscribers
(e.g. VoIP telephones) in a LAN to be
concealed behind a shared IP address
for the Router on the Internet .
VoIP telephones behind a NAT router
cannot be reached by VoIP servers (on
account of the private IP address). In
order to "get around" NAT, it is possible
to use (alternatively) ALG in the router,
STUN in the VoIP telephone, or for the
VoIP provider to use an Outbound
proxy .
If an outbound proxy is made available
you must allow for this in the VoIP set-
tings for your phone.
Network
Group of devices. Devices can be con-
nected in either wired or wireless
mode.
Networks can also differ in range and
structure:
– Range: local networks (
LAN ) or
wide-area networks ( WAN )
– Structure: Infrastructure network
or ad-hoc network
Network subscribers
Devices and computers that are con-
nected to each other in a network, e.g.
servers, PCs and phones.
O
Outbound proxy
Alternative NAT control mechanism to
STUN and ALG.
Outbound proxies are implemented by
the VoIP provider in Firewall/NAT envi-
ronments as an alternative to SIP proxy
server . They control data traffic
through the firewall.
Outbound proxy and STUN servers
should not be used simultaneously.

STUN and NAT .
P
PIN
Personal Identification Number
Protects against unauthorised use.
When the PIN is activated a number
combination has to be entered in order
to access a protected area.
You can protect your base station
configuration data with a system PIN
(4-digit number combination).
Port
Data is exchanged between two appli-
cations in a Network via a port.
Port forwarding
The Internet gateway (e.g. your router)
forwards data packets from the Inter-
net that are directed to a certain Port to
the port concerned. This allows servers
in the LAN to offer services on the
Internet without you needing a public
IP address.
Port number
Indicates a specific application of a
Network subscribers . Depending on
the setting in the LAN , the port
number is permanently assigned or
else it is newly assigned with each
access.
The combination of
IP address / Port
number uniquely identifies the recipi-
ent or sender of a data packet within a
network.
