CALL SERVER : VOICE ON IP SERVICES AND TOPOLOGIES

IP TELEPHONY

This service does not require any specific external equipment (IP and/or Proxy/Firewall Router), unless
it is provided for Remote/Home Workers.

The IP router (R) connected to the Intranet can be a simple IP router. The reservation of bandwidth is
"guaranteed" if this router supports IP ToS (DiffServ).
The number of remote IP Enablers or PIMphony IP subscribers depends on the line bandwidth (not
more than 2 simultaneous communications for 64 Kbps, not more than 5 for 128 Kbps).

SERVICES AND TOPOLOGIES CALL SERVER : VOICE ON IP

The connection between the Home Worker and the Internet must be 'always-on' (ADSL, cable, etc.). It
is indispensable to have an IP/Proxy/Firewall router or VPN server on the Home Worker side.
The IP router (R/F) at the front end of the VPN must offer Proxy/Firewall and VPN server functionality
(IPSec with 3DES encryption for interoperability with the system's built-in router).
The number of remote IP Enablers or PIMphony IP subscribers depends on the line bandwidth (not
more than 2 simultaneous communications for 64 Kbps, not more than 5 for 128 Kbps).

The connection between the remote PC (PIMphony IP Edition) and the Internet is of the "dial-on-de-
mand" type (V90 analog, ISDN BRA or ADSL modem). The remote PC first establishes a connection
with the nearest access provider, then a PPTP connection with the company's VPN server.

PC with Microsoft NetMeeting

The remote NetMeeting PC establishes a PPTP connection with the company's VPN server.

TOPOLOGIES

This section describes typical IP network architectures for implementing the Alcatel OmniPCX Office
Voice over IP services.

The following topology is recommended for connecting up an Alcatel OmniPCX Office:

Alcatel OmniPCX
Internet
CoCPU@ Board (Internet Access)

CoCPU VoIP Board (Voice over IP)

IP WAN
LAN Switch IP Router Intranet/Extranet
10/100 Mbps
10/100 Mbps
10/100 Mbps

Server

LAN Switch

10/100 Mbps

The bandwidth of an Ethernet LAN can be 10 or 100 Mbps. If the network operates at 100 Mbps, ad-
ding terminals operating at 10 Mbps risks downgrading the bandwidth used by VoIP and hence audio
quality: you might need to isolate these devices on external LAN switches hooked up to the system.
CoCPU boards are connected to the local client network using a LAN switch; this solution helps reduce
Ethernet traffic on the CoCPU board.

The RAS is equipped with a pool of modems or a T0 / T2. The RAS client PC is authenticated by a PAP/
CHAP authentication procedure, then is called back by the RAS (call back).
