Chapter 3: Network Requirements
Performing a network assessment
Perform a network assessment to ensure that the network will have the capacity for the
expected data and voice traffic, and that it can support for all applications:
●
SIP,
●
DHCP, and
●
HTTP/HTTPS.
Also, QoS support is required to run VoIP on your configuration. For more information, see
Administering TCP/UDP port selection
on page 39 and the QoS parameters L2QAUD, L2QSIG,
DSCPAUD, and DSCPSIG in
.
Hardware requirements
To operate properly, you need:
●
Category 5e cables designed to the IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard, for LAN powering,
●
TN2602 IP Media Processor circuit pack. Sites with a TN2302 IP Media Processor circuit
pack are strongly encouraged to install a TN2602 circuit pack to benefit from the increased
capacity.
●
TN799C or D Control-LAN (C-LAN) circuit pack.
