Chapter 2: IP3072 IP Phone Firmware
Architecture
This chapter provides an overview of the IP3072 Smart Office IP Desk Phone firmware big
picture, specifically an understanding of how the phone fits into the network configuration.
If you want to begin setting up your IP3072 phones, go to Chapter 3: Setting up Your
Phone Network.
The IP3072 phone supports the following deployment scenarios.
The Session Initiated Protocol (SIP) is the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
standard for multimedia communications over IP. It is an ASCII-based, application-layer
control protocol (defined in RFC3261) that can be used to establish, maintain, and
terminate calls between two or more endpoints. Like other voice over IP (VoIP) protocols,
SIP is designed to address the functions of signaling and session management within a
packet telephony network. Signaling allows call information to be carried across network
boundaries. Session management provides the ability to control the attributes of an end-to-
end call.
For IP3072 phones to successfully operate as a SIP endpoint in your network, it will
require:
 A working IP network
 Routers configured for VoIP
 VoIP gateways configured for SIP
 An active, configured call server to receive and send SIP messages
The rest of this chapter consists of the following sections:
 Where IP3072 Phones Fit in Your Network
 Understanding IP3072 Phone Firmware Architecture
 Features Available on Your IP3072 Phones
If you want to begin setting up your IP3072 phones on the network, go to Chapter 3:
Setting up Your Phone Network.
If you want to begin configuring the features available for your IP3072 phones, go to Part 3:
Configuring Your System.
Where IP3072 Phones Fit in Your Network
IP3072 phones connect physically through a Category 5 (Cat-5) cable to a standard office
twisted-pair (IEEE 802.3) 10/100/1000 megabits per second Ethernet LAN and PC ports,
and send and receive all data using the same packet-based technology.
There are many ways to set up a phone network using IP3072 phones. The figure below is
just one example of a netowork setup.
