Application scenario for Voice over IP (VoIP) with...An IP-PBX is a business phone system that manages telephones throughout the enterprise and acts as a gateway to both voice and data networks. Telephones are connected to IP-PBX via the network and calls can be routed via the network instead of the standard public switched telephone network. This technology is known as IP telephony or otherwise VOIP. IP Telephony or Internet Protocol Telephony is the transmission of voice signals over the Internet, wide area network (WAN), or local area network (LAN). IP Telephony uses voice-over-IP to break down voice transmissions into packets of data and transmitting them across a network.
The vendor system at Arcadian management services is Avaya. There is a communications manager, IP office and a PBX and an Avaya gateway. The Avaya networked server/gateway architecture allows enterprise designed telephony service that helps connect the office with other offices. The key features of the system are: communications continuity, Emergency transfer relay and multi-protocol capability. The gateway ensures communications even if the connection back to the main system is lost. It has the capability of operating in a standalone mode when disconnected from the main server. Functionalities in this mode still includes: Hold, supervised and unsupervised transfer call. When connection is re-established, the gateway automatically restores connection to the centralized server without dropping any calls.
The above diagram shows the basic configuration between two offices. The offices are connected by two Cisco3600 series routers. The main site which is Denver has gateway, IP office manager and a PBX. The system has good communications with the best and newest digital technology.
