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 -
Page 7
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.

Physical Installation and IP Configuration

This chapter illustrates basic installation of VIP-410

Physical Installation Requirement

• Network cables. Use standard 10/100BaseT network (UTP) cables with RJ45 connectors.
• TCP/IP protocol must be installed on all PCs.
For Internet Access, an Internet Access account with an ISP, and either of a DSL or Cable modem (for WAN port usage)

Procedure

1. Choose an Installation Site
Select a suitable place on the network to install VIP–410. Ensure VIP–410 and the DSL/Cable modem are powered OFF.
2. Connect LAN Cables
Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the Switching Hub ports on VIP–410. Both
•
10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used simultaneously.
• If required, you can connect any LAN port to another Hub. Any LAN port on VIP–410 will automatically function as an "Uplink" port when required. Just connect any LAN port to a normal port on the other hub, using a standard LAN cable.
3. Connect WAN Cable
Connect the DSL or Cable modem to the WAN port on VIP–410. Use the cable supplied with your DSL/Cable modem. If no cable was supplied, use a standard cable.
4. Power Up
• Power on the Cable or DSL modem.
• Connect the supplied power adapter to VIP–410 and power up.
Use only the power adapter provided. Using a different one may cause hardware damage

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

Dial Plan Management

Dial plan in VIP-410 is a database, which contains the Address Translation and Parsing Manager (ATPM) to looks up for translating a dial string to a calling destination. The dial plan management menu allows you to modify and display the dial plan.

Dial plan Concept

Before you start setting up the dial plan in VIP-410, following basic concept associated with the dialplan in VIP-410 should be explained in advance.

Address Table
The address table maps a phone number to a hunt group. The table contains entries that specify the following information:
Ÿ Telephone number
The hunt group the phone number maps to.
Ÿ Ÿ The minimum number of digits to collect before the ATPM starting
address lookup.
Ÿ The maximum number of digits the ATPM collects before it considers
the dial string is complete.
Ÿ Number of digits forward to the destination.
Phone Number
The “Phone number” in the VIP is a set of digits. You can setup it to have better migration with your original system. This number will only map to one Hunt Group.
