660 Planning a private network Part 3
6 Planning a private network
Information on networking concepts and characteristics can be found in Part 1
and Part 2. For information on Networking over IP, please refer to the System
Manual AIP 6400.
The following guide on how to plan private networks is designed to help you cre-
ate a small, simple network. As the number of systems in the network increases,
the requirements and potential sources of error also increase exponentially. For
larger networks, experience and the assistance of specialists are invaluable.
When it comes to implementing a specific network there are always several solu-
tions and configuration options. That is why you should regard the explanations
below merely as tips and advice for one possible solution. Alternatives are always
possible and, depending on the problem to be resolved, more appropriate.
This chapter consists of:
• a planning aid for converting the customer’s ideas into a concrete project (as
of page 660)
• instructions for planning a simple specimen network (as off page 681)
• and other topics such as:
– virtual networking (networking via the public network, as of page 697)
– networking with a virtual PBX (Centrex, page 700)
– networking with third-party systems (page 702)
– networking via the Ethernet interface (see AIP 6400 System Manual)
– other aspects of networking (page 702)
6.1 Planning aid
A customer has specific requirements for a telephony and data traffic infrastruc-
ture. The task is to determine how to convert these requirements into the best
possible solution. The entire decision process is iterative. In other words, the items
listed are not to be processed simply one after the other; instead, you need to
return to previously defined parameters and, possibly, re-define them all over
again.
You need to determine the following fundamental network properties:
• The number and types of systems to be networked
• Traffic Volume
