VIP-410 Features

o Standards compliant & excellent voice quality
The PLANET VIP-410 is H.323 standard version 3 compliant (including H.323 fast-start mode). The VIP-410 is interoperable with 3rd party voice gateways as well as other PLANET VoIP products. Retaining the tradition of excellence in PLANET VoIP products, the VIP-410 can prioritize voice packets using IP precedence, and combines state-of-the-art technology of voice packet handling, including echo, noise reduction, voice reconstruction and redun­dancy to provide customers toll quality VoIP communication.
o VoIP, FoIP and Network conversion
Via configurable voice codec: G.723, G.729ab, G.711mu and FAX: T.30, T.38, the VIP-410 provides support for multiple algorithms to meet different VoIP application demands. The VIP-410 supports conversion of telephony protocols (SS7, Analog (FXS/FXO)) into a packet switching network between calling and called voice gateways or a PBX system, in a het­erogeneous signal-switching environment.
o Domain name call & DDNS supports
Either IP or URL addressing, the VIP-410 is able to locate and communicate with destination H.323 gateways and terminals. The DDNS service is supported for those VoIP gateways deployed in a dynamic IP environment. The combination of connection agents (PPPoE, or DHCP clients) and a built-in DDNS client can help those who do not have static IP addresses by mapping dynamic IP addresses to an easy-to-remember URL, allowing other 3rd party voice gateways and terminals to locate the position of the VIP in a simple manner. (To es­tablish voice communication via domain name, please make sure the other party gate­way/terminal supports domain name calling.)
o Internet sharing, easy setup and network administration
Via internal PPPoE/DHCP/fixed IP allocation agents, the VIP-410 establishes Internet ac­cess via a single user account and shares Internet resource with everyone on your office network. Via an intuitive user interface, network administration or IT personnel can complete an Internet connection in just minutes! System administrators can logon to the machine lo­cally from the LAN or remotely check machine or network status and perform administration or trouble-shooting from anywhere in the world.
o
NAT Optimization, Firewall policy packet filtering and QoS mechanism
The VIP-410 provides user definable policy-based firewall protection, and a packet filtering mechanism to prevent business or residential network from malicious attacks or intrusion.
- 2 -
The firewall policy offers VoIP administrators access control privilege choices to apply to LAN users to restrict Internet access or prevent improper use.
o Virtual Server, DMZ & Internet application capability
With Virtual server, special applications, and DMZ features, the VIP-410 shares the LAN resources for Internet users, and provides various Internet application compatibility in a more convenient way.

You’ll need to save the configured LAN IP address, network mask value into machine via command: net store , then insert command: net reset to reboot machine and make thechanges effective.

Preparation before beginning web administration on VIP-410

In this section, we’ll introduce steps of how to setup a PC to communicate with VIP-410 and Internet access related parameters through TCP/IP protocol configuration. Before starting web browser to connect to VIP-410, please check TCP/IP configurations on PC: the PC must be configured either as a DHCP client and or fixed IP allocation on the intranet or Internet. After ensuring TCP/IP configuration on the managing workstation, you may connect to web administration page of VIP-410 either from intranet, or Internet Following are guidelines of setting up TCP/IP configurations on different OS platform

Checking TCP/IP settings on Windows 95/98

If there is no TCP/IP installed on your Windows 95 or Windows 98, you must add the protocol and change the settings on your PC.
Step 1 Open the Control Panel, and double-click the Network icon. The Network window appears
Step 2 If TCP/IP protocol shown in the network window, please continue to the next step. If it
is not shown, please add TCP/IP protocol support as follows:
- 10 -
a. Click b. Double-click Protocol in the Select Network Component Type window, then
the Select Network Protocol window appears. c. Choose Microsoft for the manufacturer. d. Choose TCP/IP for the network protocol.
e. Click OK, and the Network window appears.
Add
.
Step 3.1 Change the TCP/IP settings to use DHCP as follows (DHCP environment):
a. Double-click the first TCP/IP cable icon. The TCP/IP Properties window appears.
b. Verify that the IP Address tab has Obtain an IP address automatically selected
and that the IP Address and Subnet Mask fields are grayed out.
Step 3.2 Change the TCP/IP settings to use DHCP as follows (Fixed IP allocation):
If there is no DHCP server in your network, please consult your network administrator the TCP/IP parameters of your PC, and insert the obtained data in IP address tab. To access different IP segment (for example, from LAN to Internet), you will need to as­sign the gateway and DNS (for Internet access) in your PC.
Step 5 Add the DNS server given to you by your ISP or network administrator:
