Section 1
Overview
Panasonic PBX with VoIP Gateway Card will allow
organizations to route both voice and fax
communications over digital data networks.
The VoIP Gateway Card, designed to be easily
integrated into existing IP networks, seamlessly bridges
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and
analog telephones with digital data networks without
interrupting pre-existing data communications.
Because communications do not take place over
conventional telephone networks, the high cost of long
distance communications is virtually eliminated.

1.1 Example Network Diagram
1.1 Example Network Diagram
The following diagram illustrates a simple VoIP network connecting PBXs at two locations. The
VoIP Gateway Card converts outgoing voice or fax signals into IP packets for transmission. On
the incoming side, it reverses this process and translates the packets back into appropriate
voice or fax signals.

1.2.1 Network Application
QSIG Network Interface
QSIG is a protocol based on ISDN (Q.931) that offers enhanced PBX features in a private
network. The QSIG network supports private communications by the TIE line service method.
Implementation of VoIP Gateway Cards provides a VoIP interface to employ a QSIG network
between PBXs at different locations by using an IP network instead of conventional telephone
networks.
Note
CLIP service is the only QSIG service available between the KX-TDA5480/KX-TDA0484
and KX-TDA0480 VoIP Gateway Cards. There is no compatibility for other QSIG services.
Types of IP Network
The VoIP Gateway Card’s quality of performance depends on the type of IP network in use.
Managed IP networks provide better quality of service compared to unmanaged networks such
as the Internet, where quality of service is not guaranteed.
Examples of recommended IP networks
• Digital Leased Line
• IP-VPN (Virtual Private Network)
•Frame Relay
Firewall
A firewall protects the internal networks of an organization against unauthorized penetration
from outside. When routing a VoIP network through a firewall, some performance degradation
may result. If for practical reasons you must route the VoIP network through a firewall, refer to
"A1.3 Network Devices" for more details.
1.2.2 Numbering Plan Example
There are two methods to plan your numbering system, as follows:
In addition to the destination number, the caller dials the unique PBX code
PBX code
method
Extension
number method
of the PBX to which the called party is connected. Therefore, extension
numbers at separate PBXs in the network can overlap. For example, each
PBX in the network can have an extension whose number is 201.
The caller dials only the destination number of the called party to call
through PBXs at different locations (hence there are fewer digits to dial
than with the PBX code method). To employ the extension number
method, no two PBXs can have extensions sharing the same number. For
example, if one PBX in the network has an extension whose number is
201, no other PBX can have an extension with the same number (201).
Not recommended
• Internet
(Delays and loss in data transmission
can cause degradation in speech
quality.)
This section provides a network numbering mechanism using the PBX code method based on
the previous example diagram. Configure your network referring to this example.

Note
An example using the extension number method is provided in "B Alternative Numbering
Plan Example".

4.2.5 Programming the Address Translation Table
The function of an address translation table in a VoIP network is to provide two-way translation
*1
of telephone numbers and IP addresses
VoIP Gateway Cards in the network. Therefore, whenever the address translation table is
changed, it is important to update all the cards in the network with the latest information;
otherwise VoIP communications cannot be established.
It is possible, at one location in the network, to program the address translation table that
contains information for the entire network. The completed address translation table can then
be distributed across the network, so that all the cards share the same information (see "4.2.6
Downloading the Address Translation Table from the VoIP Gateway Card", and "Uploading
Address Translation Table to the VoIP Gateway Card" in "4.3 Programming the VoIP Gateway
Card in the Chicago Office").
The procedure below demonstrates the process of programming the address translation table
necessary for VoIP communications between the Los Angeles and Chicago offices.
The specific setting values are based on the table under "PBX Connection Information" in
"1.2.2 Numbering Plan Example".

devices, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation. This manual focuses on the method using the VoIP Gateway Card’s internal
address translation capabilities.

A1.1 Bandwidth Assessment
To establish a VoIP network, you must ensure that the network has enough bandwidth to
support VoIP communications. Inform your network administrator of the required bandwidth,
and make sure that the network can support VoIP communications even under conditions of
maximum network traffic.
Bandwidth Calculation
Provided below is the formula to find out the amount of bandwidth required for VoIP
communications:
Required Bandwidth
= (No. of Fax Machines × Required Bandwidth for Fax Communication) +
[(4 - No. of Fax Machines) × Required Bandwidth for Voice Communication]
Required bandwidth for fax and voice communications for one VoIP channel is shown in the
tables below (for more details, refer to "2.2.3 Voice Communication Parameters" in the VoIP
Gateway Card Programming Guide).

Consider the following case as an example:
• Communication: via LAN
• No. of Fax Machines: 1
• Required Bandwidth for Fax Communication: 75.6 kbps
• Required Bandwidth for Voice Communication: 23.5 kbps
In this case, the required bandwidth will be as follows:
Required Bandwidth
= (1 × 75.6) + (3 × 23.5)
= 146.1
Therefore, inform your network administrator and make sure that the network can support a
bandwidth of 146.1 kbps even when the network is under conditions of maximum traffic.
Note
It is recommended that all VoIP Gateway Cards in a VoIP network have the same packet
sending interval.
A1.2 Network Configuration
You must evaluate the structure of the existing network to see if a VoIP network can be
implemented. Below are the points that should be taken into your evaluation.
Is the IP network a managed network?
A VoIP network should be implemented on a managed IP network such as Frame Relay,
Leased Line, or IP-VPN (Virtual Private Network).
An unmanaged network—that is, the Internet—cannot be used to employ a VoIP network
because delays and loss in data transmission can cause huge degradation in speech quality.
Getting Started 53
Page 54
A1 VoIP Requirements
Is it possible to have static IP addressing?
Because the maintenance of the VoIP Gateway Card is carried out from a personal computer
(PC) through an IP network, the card must be assigned a static IP address.
Static IP addressing must be made possible even when the DHCP feature is used. For more
details, refer to "2.2.1 Network Parameters" in the VoIP Gateway Card Programming Guide.
Is network address translation (NAT/NAPT) disabled?
In a network where address translation techniques (e.g., NAT/NAPT) are used to convert
between global and local IP addresses, VoIP communications based on the H.323 protocol
cannot be carried out appropriately. Generally, NAT/NAPT are features that are available with
routers.
IP Network
Global IP Address Domain
(NAT/NAPT enabled)
Router
Local IP Address Domain
Note
If the router on the network supports the "H.323 NAT" feature, it may be possible to have
VoIP communications over the network. For more information, consult your network
administrator.
54 Getting Started
Page 55
A1 VoIP Requirements
Does only a single router provide access to the IP network?
In a dual network, two routers provide access to the IP network as shown in the diagram below.
However, the VoIP Gateway Card cannot take the advantage of having two routers as access
points to the IP network.
For example, if router A, whose IP address is assigned as the default gateway IP address of
the card, fails, VoIP communications are no longer possible; the card is not able to switch its
default gateway from router A to router B to access the IP network. For more details about the
default gateway setting, refer to "2.2.1 Network Parameters" of the VoIP Gateway Card
Programming Guide.

A1 VoIP Requirements
Is there only a single IP network between two ends of a call?
A huge degradation in speech quality will be produced when calls are made through multiple
IP networks as shown below; therefore, it is recommended that you avoid establishing a VoIP
network in this fashion.
PSTN
IP Network 1 IP Network 2

56 Getting Started
Page 57
Is the card located appropriately?
Transmission delays can cause pauses and loss in VoIP communications. The more network
devices (e.g., routers and switches) there are between the communicating cards, the larger the
transmission delays, because a certain amount of delay is inevitable when packets go through
each network device (hop).
One preventative measure is to install the card so that the number of transmission hops is kept
to a minimum. In the diagram below, the card is located as close to the IP network interface as
possible.

Can the firewall pass packets from the VoIP Gateway Card?
If the VoIP network contains a firewall, the firewall must be configured appropriately to allow
VoIP packets, which are listed in the table below, to pass through the network without being
blocked by filtering.

Are layer 2 or higher switches used?
Use of repeater hubs can increase the network load, and therefore may result in degradation
in speech quality.
To ensure the performance, it is strongly recommended that you use layer 2 or higher switches.
Are category 5 (CAT 5) cables used?
When connecting network devices, make sure to use CAT 5 cables. If other types of cables are
used, communications may not be carried out normally.
A1.4 QoS (Quality of Service)
Some routers permit the configuration of priority control features. This allows the router to give
higher priority to voice packets and lower the rate of loss and delays during transmissions,
hence improving speech quality. It is strongly recommended that you use this feature,
especially in networks where traffic is heavy.
Typically, a router identifies what packets to pass in priority by checking the value in the ToS
field of the header of IP packets. The VoIP Gateway Card has the ability to set the ToS field of
outgoing voice packets (see "2.2.3 Voice Communication Parameters" in the VoIP Gateway
Card Programming Guide). When the card is appropriately configured, the router can give
voice packets from the card higher priority.
Consult your network administrator when setting the ToS field, as the setting value must
conform to the router’s specifications.
Note
Some switches also permit the configuration of priority control features. For more
information, consult your network administrator.

Description
Identifies the location of each VoIP Gateway
Card in the network during VoIP
communications. A unique IP address must
be assigned to each card.
Identifies the IP address of the primary
gateway (typically a router or similar device)
that exchanges IP packets with the other
gateways on the VoIP network.
Defines which digits of an IP address are
used for the network address and the host
address at each network location. A card IP
address must fall within the same subnet as
that of the default gateway (e.g., router) that
is connected to the card.

B2 Programming for the Extension Number Method
B2 Programming for the Extension Number
Method
When programming the VoIP Gateway Cards and PBXs for use in a network configured for the
extension number method instead of the PBX code method, some of the steps in the
programming procedures require different setting values.
The following two sections provide specific steps that require different setting values. The steps
other than those provided here have common setting values, and are therefore omitted from
this explanation.
B2.1 Programming the VoIP Gateway Card
The hunt patterns and address translation table need different setting values for the extension
number method, as shown in the screen shots provided below.
Programming the VoIP Gateway Card in the Los Angeles Office
Create hunt patterns with the setting values shown below, following the procedure in "4.2.4
Assigning the Hunt Pattern".
Program an address translation table with the setting values shown below, following the
procedure in "4.2.5 Programming the Address Translation Table".

Step 8
B2 Programming for the Extension Number Method
Assign the leading number used to reach the extensions of the remote PBX:
In the Other PBX Extension Number (TIE) box (01 and 02), type 3 (for the Chicago office
extensions) and 6 (for the Chicago office fax extensions).
Assign the routing information to route calls to the remote PBX:
In the Leading Number box, type 3 (for the Chicago office extensions), 6 (for the Chicago
office fax extensions), and 93 (for Chicago office PSTN access).
Note
Do not set any value in the Own PBX Code box.
After the above step, follow step 8 of the procedure in "5.1 Programming the PBX in the Los
Angeles Office".

D1 Considerations in Installation
Provided below are the points to consider when the VoIP network contains both the KXTDA5480/KX-TDA0484 and KX-TDA0480 VoIP Gateway Cards.
Adding the KX-TDA5480/KX-TDA0484 to the Network Using the KX-TDA0480
Maintenance Console Software
For the KX-TDA0480 to recognize the KX-TDA5480/KX-TDA0484 in the network, you must add
it as an "Other Unit" in a Unit Group (network) when programming with the MCS as shown
below:
Note
For programming instructions and other information about the KX-TDA0480, refer to the
documentation for the KX-TDA0480.
Restrictions on Feature Compatibility
Some restrictions exist when using the KX-TDA5480/KX-TDA0484 with the KX-TDA0480, as
detailed below:
• CLIP service is the only QSIG service available between the KX-TDA5480/KXTDA0484 and KX-TDA0480. There is no compatibility for other QSIG services.
• Fax communications cannot take place between the KX-TDA5480/KX-TDA0484 and
KX-TDA0480.
