System Requirements
Network Requirements
Making preparations for the network in advance will assure there are no surprises. If you are
going to have remote extensions, you will need access to the router to setup a network address
translation (NAT) and port forwarding.
A LAN with a broadband connection is required for operation of the system. It is must be on fast
Ethernet (100baseT or better). The system must also use Ethernet data switches. The router
inside IP1000 can use DHCP or not, depending on preference. If IP1000 is connected to Internet
through broadband modem, use PPPoE for connection to Internet and use DHCP server for local
network is recommended.
IP Addresses
It is important to know the LAN configuration and IP addresses of the specific network the system
is becoming a part of to make installation of the IP1000 simple. The IP1000 is required to have a
fixed (static) IP address. To get the information about public IP check the network administrator.
By default, the IP address used by IP1000’s router for local network is 192.168.1.1. The devices
including PC, IP phones and other network devices will get IP address from IP1000’s DHCP
server and those IP addresses will be 192.168.1.xxx. To connect to IP1000 by PC in local
network for changing system settings or monitoring system’s status, login to IP1000 with IP
address 192.168.1.1. The public IP address used for IP1000 to connect to Internet can also be
viewed from IP1000’s web management pages.
Service Providers
In order to provision the IP1000 it is necessary to know the type of Service Providers being used.
Carrier and SIP are the most common service providers. Carriers provide Plain Old Telephone
Service (POTS). SIP Providers route voice calls over the Internet. This is called voice over
Internet protocol or VoIP.
