Digital Telephone IP Adapter description Standard 3.0
Product Introduction
Digital Telephone IP Adapter units provide full-featured host Private Branch
Exchange (PBX) services to single users in small remote or home offices.
Digital Telephone IP Adapter units require each of the following components:
a Digital Telephone Internal or External IP Adapter unit
a Reach Line Card (RLC)
a 10BaseT Ethernet interface to an Internet Access Device (IAD)
This section provides a brief description of each component used to provide
Digital Telephone IP Adapter functionality.
Digital Telephone Internal IP Adapter
The Digital Telephone Internal IP Adapter is a circuit card that fits in the base of
a Meridian digital telephone set. The circuit card relays voice and signaling
information between the digital telephone connected at your office and the RLC
installed on the host PBX using the Internet Protocol (IP) network.
Refer to the following chapters for additional information:
Chapter 3, “Installing the Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit”
Chapter 4, “Configuring the IP Adapter unit using the telephone menu”, or
Chapter 5, “Changing configuration settings using Configuration Manager”
2 Digital Telephone IP Adapter Installation and Administration Guide
June 2005 Digital Telephone IP Adapter description
Digital Telephone External IP Adapter
The Digital Telephone External IP Adapter connects to the telephone set line
cord of the digital telephone with a standard RJ-11 connector. The unit relays
voice and signaling information between your digital telephone at a remote
location and the RLC installed in the host PBX over the IP network. Refer to the
following chapters for additional information:
Chapter 3, “Installing the Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit”
Chapter 4, “Configuring the IP Adapter unit using the telephone menu”, or
Chapter 5, “Changing configuration settings using Configuration Manager”
Reach Line Card
The Reach Line Card (RLC), installed in the host PBX, provides service for up
to 16 ports on a single-slot card or 32 ports on a double-slot card. The RLC
emulates a standard digital line card (XDLC), providing PBX functionality for
telephones at remote locations (including sites using the Digital Telephone IP
Adapter unit).
The RLC relays voice and signaling information between the remote digital
telephone and the host PBX over the IP network.
For a more detailed description, refer to the Reach Line Card Installation and
Administration Guide (NTP 555-8421-210).
Voice over IP technology
The Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit uses Nortel proprietary Voice over IP
technology to send voice and data signals between your office and the host PBX
through the existing IP data network.

You must use the telephone menu to configure the Digital Telephone IP
Adapter unit initially.
For detailed instructions on using the telephone menu, refer to Chapter 4,
“Configuring the IP Adapter unit using the telephone menu”.
Remote Gateway 9100 Series Configuration Manager
Remote Gateway 9100 Series Configuration Manager is a Windows-based
application for accessing the Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit
configuration settings. Once you have configured the Digital Telephone IP
Adapter unit, you can use Configuration Manager to make configuration
changes and perform ongoing administration.
For more details, refer to Chapter 5, “Changing configuration settings using
Configuration Manager”, and Chapter 7, “Administration”.
