Notes
(1)
These items are determined by the country-specific VoIP configuration XML file. The values
specified are for ANSI deployments.
(2)
While the maximum ringing capacity for all ONTs is five REN per POTS line, some ONTs can support
more than one POTS line at a time. For MDUs and business ONTs, the maximum ringing capacity is
three POTS lines with a five REN load ringing simultaneously. For indoor ONTs, the maximum
ringing capacity is two POTS lines with a five REN load ringing simultaneously.
SIP Overview
Voice-over-IP (VoIP) implementations enable users to carry voice traffic over an IP
network. A VoIP system consists of a number of different components: softswitch,
gatekeeper, user agent, signaling gateway and a call manager etc., depending on the
type of signaling-control protocol that is being used. There are a variety of signaling
protocols defined by the standard bodies Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and
International Telecommunication Union (ITU), which specify how the user can
setup signaling and bearer paths between the end devices. SIP signaling is based on
a collection of IETF standards.
