IP Telephony Configuration Guide
Chapter 2
Prerequisites checklist
Before you set up VoIP trunks or IP telephones on a Business Communications Manager,
complete the following checklists to ensure that the system is correctly set up. Some questions do
not apply to all installations.
This guide contains a number of appendices that explain various aspects of the system directly
related to IP telephony functions. However, 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 29
• “Network devices” on page 30
• “Network assessment” on page 30
• “Resource assessment” on page 31
• “Keycodes” on page 31
• “System configuration for IP functions” on page 32
• “VoIP trunks” on page 36
• “Configuring media gateway parameters for IP service” on page 35
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 two questions.
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 169.
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?
1.e Answer this only if your system will use a gatekeeper, otherwise, leave it blank: Does the network
diagram contain the IP address for any Gatekeeper that may be used?
Note: If the network has a Meridian 1 running IPT software, you cannot use a RadVision gatekeeper.
