IP Telephony Configuration Guide
Chapter 2
Prerequisites checklist
Before you set up voice over IP (VoIP) trunks or IP telephones on a Business Communications
Manager, complete the following checklists to ensure that the system is correctly set up for IP
telephony. Some questions do not apply to all installations.
This guide contains a number of appendices that explain various aspects of IP networking directly
related to IP telephony functions. Refer to the Programming Operations Guide for specific
information about configuring the data portion of the Business Communications Manager.
This section includes the following checklists:
• “Network diagram” on page 31
• “Network devices” on page 32
• “Network assessment” on page 33
• “Resource assessment” on page 33
• “Keycodes” on page 34
• “System configuration for IP functions” on page 34
• “Finding the published IP address” on page 35
• “Media gateway parameters for IP service” on page 37
• “VoIP trunks” on page 39
• “IP telephone records” on page 40
Network diagram
To aid in installation, a Network Diagram provides a basic understanding of how the network is
configured. Before you install IP functionality, create a network diagram that captures all of the
information described in the following table. If you are configuring IP telephones but not voice
over IP (VoIP) trunks, you do not need to answer the last questions 1.d or 1.e.
Table 1 Network diagram prerequisites
Prerequisites Yes
1.a Has a network diagram been developed?
1.b Does the network diagram contain any routers, switches or bridges with corresponding
IP addresses and bandwidth values for WAN or LAN links?
Also refer to Appendix D, “Interoperability,” on page 175.
1.c Does the network diagram contain IP Addresses, netmasks, and network locations of all
Business Communications Managers?
1.d Answer this if your system will use IP trunks, otherwise, leave it blank: Does the network
diagram contain IP Addresses and netmasks of any other VoIP gateways that you need to
connect to?
