Introduction to VoIP
Voice over IP: A VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone call is transmitted over a data
network, such as the internet. The “Voice Over Internet Protocol” is a catch all for the
protocols and technology of encoding a voice call that allows the voice call to be slotted in between data packets on a data network. Such data networks may be the public
internet, a corporate intranet, or a managed network used by traditional long distance
and international providers. VoIP phone calls, if properly engineered, sound just as good
as a circuit switched TDM phone call - the ones we make and receive every day. There
are three main benefits to VoIP phone calls:
First, they may potentially be cheaper. Since the data network is typically charged on a
flat rate and thus the marginal cost of making a VoIP is zero, how much cheaper
depends on: 1: The cost of terminating the VoIP call into the traditional phone network.
(Figure a penny a minute.) 2: The price of a standard circuit switched TDM call. They’ve
been getting cheaper over the years. 3: How much tax is levied on both. Taxes are horrendous on traditional circuit switched long distance calls. They aren’t so big, yet, on
VoIP calls, which are classified by some regulatory agencies as “information services,”
not voice phone calls. Therefore they escape most taxes.
Second, you may achieve the benefits of managing a voice and data network as one
network. If you have IP phones, moves, adds and changes, will be easier and cheaper.
IP phones are basically networked computers. They have individual addresses, with
memories, and user profiles. Their software upgrades are typically centrally managed
using standard computing systems. In short, they’re “user friendly” to manage and can
largely be managed remotely.
Third, and the key attraction of IP telephony - is added (and integrated) new services,
including integrated messaging, voice emails, number portability, caller ID with name,
call waiting, call forwarding, take your area code with you, plug into the internet anywhere and make free calls from anywhere in the world. And best of all, you can typically manage your phone via a website on the internet, which can provide complete call
accounting. A VoIP is typically a much better animal than today’s circuit switched phone.

MAC Address:
a Hardware Address or Physical Address, is a unique address assigned to a device at
the factory. It resides in the device’s memory and is often printed on the outside of the
device. It is used by Routers to send network traffic to the correct IP Address. Example:

a network, making VoIP possible. This conversion function is often built into other
devices like routers or cable/DSL modems. If the gateway’s only function is to convert
digital to analog and vice versa, it is called an ATA.

Getting Started
CONNECTING TO A LAN, WAN OR IP PBX (VOICE ONLY)
Step 1:
install an ATA. Ask them to supply you with a static IP address. Example: Viking model
ATA-100 shown on page 6.
Contact your network administrator and inform them that you would like to
Step 2: Follow the directions included with the gateway (ATA) equipment.
CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET (VOICE ONLY)
Step 1:

Step 2:
Contact your local provider (such as Vonage) and order a calling plan (you
Follow the directions included with the gateway (ATA) equipment.
CONNECTING TO A NETWORK (VIDEO AND VOICE)
Step 1:
install a video camera on the network. Ask them to supply you with a static IP address.
Example: Axis video server shown on page 6.
Step 2:
Contact your network administrator and inform them that you would like to
Follow the directions included with the video server equipment.
Note: If the video server receives its power from PoE (Power over Ethernet) and your network does not support PoE, it will be necessary to purchase a PoE power injector to
power the server.
Step 3:
can be monitored from anywhere on the local area network (LAN). To access the video
from the internet, network routers must be configured to allow incoming traffic, which is
usually done on a specific port. Please refer to the documentation for your router for further instructions (this will likely require the assistance of your network administrator).
Connecting to the internet (optional). Once the video server is connected, it

ATA-100
In this example the ATA-100 converts network packets back to an analog paging signal
which is amplified by the PA-30 Paging Amplifier. Note that if the paging system is analog, it is necessary to encode the audio paging signal using another ATA-100 before
sending it out over the network.

needed to perform encoding/decoding functions at the originating end.
