2 - 466 IP Station (MEGACO) - IAD (Integrated Access Device)
The IAD (8)-U( ) supports only those vocoders that are approved to provide toll-quality speech path. The
following voice compression methods are supported for the IP Station (MEGACO) application:
J
G.711 u Law - Highest Bandwidth
J
G.729 - Mid-Range Bandwidth
Each voice call requires at least the specifications listed in the following table. This includes all the
overheads of VoIP communication, including signaling).
J
The IAD (8)-U( ) ETU contains a regular TCP/RTP/IP stack that can handle real time media. The
IAD ETU is an end-point on the IP network from the network administration perspective.
J
The IAD (8)-U( ) ETU uses MEGACO (H.248) Protocol to provide telephony services between
remote stations through the IP Network. This is an IETF/ITU standards-based protocol. Currently,
this protocol does not natively allow for communications across networks where Network Address
Translation (NAT) is performed.
J
Speech-connection audio quality depends greatly on the available bandwidth between the stations
in the data network. Because Internet is an uncontrolled data network compared to an Intranet,
using this application in Intranet WAN environment with known (or controlled and assured) Quality
of Service (QoS) is highly recommended.
J
When any network where the IAD (8)-U( ) ETU or any of its IP terminals is connected uses NAT for
connecting the voice calls (including firewall), consulting your network provider/administrator to
specifically request service for VoIP or real-time media support on your networks is recommended.
J
A static IP Address is required for each IAD (8)-U( ) ETU in the network.
J
The IAD (8)-U( ) ETU supports station to station direct RTP connections (peer-to-peer) for calls
between IP Phones that provide the following benefits:
N
Improved voice quality for calls between two IP Phones.
N
Improved bandwidth performance for voice between IP Phones.
N
The operating mode can be configured per IAD (8)-U( ) ETU on each port.
N
Pad and echo canceller controls are built-in and are programmable in the IAD (8)-U( ) ETU.
N
The LAN/WAN connection is provided by a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet.
