routing over your IP network or the
Internet.
• Sized for use in enterprise
environments.
Transparently connect up to
eight analog phones plus a PC
to the Internet.
OVERVIEW
Multiport VoIP Gateway Routers combine voice and data
traffic for for routing over any IP network.
They enable you to transparently connect up to eight
analog phones and fax machines to VoIP. Because these
routers work with ordinary analog devices, there’s no need
to buy special IP telephones — just use the phones and fax
machines you already have.
Models with FXO ports also connect to the local PSTN
for backup in case your network connection goes out, so you
can call special numbers such as emergency 911.
All models feature dual autosensing 10-/100-Mbps
Ethernet ports.
Total VoIP connectivity.
Multiport VoIP Gateway Routers are full-featured VoIP
gateways featuring SIP as well as H.323v4 signaling.
They offer up to eight FXS ports and two or four FXO
ports. FXS analog ports connect any analog phone or PBX and
provide services such as dial-tone, ringing, and Caller ID. FXO
ports access the local PSTN for backup.
The routers are smart and adaptable, too! Telephony over
IP (ToIP) enables them to handle calls based on variables such
as hunt groups, Caller ID, Called ID, and time of day. And of
course, they provide all basic phone services such as dial tone
and ringing.
The routers provide advanced Quality of Service (QoS)
and traffic management. QoS provides clear voice throughput
every time by prioritizing VoIP packets on your network.
Voice priority and traffic shaping ensure optimal up- and
downstream voice quality.
It’s a secure router, too!
VoIP Gateway Routers are capable enterprise routers that
connect both voice and data to the WAN through a single
secure device. They support full IP routing with IPSEC, PPPoE,
DHCP, NAT, and VLAN tagging.
DNS maps domain and host names and IP addresses,
enabling you to “hide” your real IP address from the Internet.
An access control list enables you to control who can get into
your network.
IPSEC VPN sets up secure virtual “tunnels” that protect
your data and keep private calls private.
PPPoE encapsulates PPP frames inside Ethernet frames,
enabling the router to establish a link from one machine to
another over an IP network and then transport data packets
over the connection. PPP enables services such as user
authentication and usage metering that are missing from the
Ethernet protocol.
DES, 3DES, and AES encryption keeps out unwanted
users when you send data over the Internet.
Easy setup and management.
VoIP Gateway Routers are quite straightforward to set up.
Just connect one of the dual 10/100 Ethernet ports to your
LAN. The ports automatically sense and adjust to network
speed and duplex as well as cable pinning.
Configure and manage the router through any standard
Web browser, SNMP, or through Telnet using a command
line interface.
Stay connected to the PSTN.
VoIP Gateway Routers with both FXS and FXO ports
(VOE235A – VOE236A, VOE238A) enable you to access your
local analog PSTN telephone service as well as your Ethernet
nework. The router automatically falls back to your analog
voice line if your network goes out.
You can also program the router to choose the PSTN or
the network, depending on which number is dialed. This
enables you to retain emergency 911 service and to route only
certain calls — to your branch offices, for instance — through
the IP network. Telephony over IP (ToIP) provides real-time
PSTN and VoIP call switching for any PBX, switch, or phone.
