4 CH VoIP Media Gateway (4VOIPU-S) — P/N 0891054
An ENTU PCB is required when a VoIP PCB is installed. If the
ENTU is not installed, the system will not start up.
The 4VOIPU PCB is used for converting the RTP (Real Time Transfer Proto-
col) packets via the IP network and PCM highway. The IP telephones are
connected directly to the IP bus. When IP phones need to be connected to a
conventional PCM-based digital circuit, this PCB converts the IP packet sig-
nal into a PCM signal format and connects to the PCM time division switch.
The VOIPU PCB is required in order for IP telephones to communicate with
non-VoIP Aspire phones, as well as to place or receive outside calls.
The 4VOIPU PCB provides:
● 4VOIPU PCB provides up to 4 channels
● Connector for the 4VOIPDB daughter board (providing an additional 4 channels)
● 1 PCB status LED
● DB status LED
● RIP session status LED
● PCMCIA slot LED
● Reset switch
● Load switch
● Boot jumper
● 1 run/block switch
A maximum of 3 PCBs per system are allowed. This provides 12 channels per system with the
4VOIPU (with the 4VOIPDB, 24 channels are available).
The separate software hub should be a 100Base/full duplex hub. To avoid network problems and to
ensure good voice quality, do not use a Repeater Hub/10Base.
The Aspire VoIP supports H.323, H.325, and H.245 trunks and compressions of G.711, G.723.1,
and G.729.
