1. Will this system be a standalone system or part of a voice network?
This will help determine the numbering plan and the LAN/WAN requirements. If the X-50 is going to be a
standalone system, the default numbering plan should be fine. However, if the system is going to be connected to
a voice network, the numbering plan may need to be modified to allow direct dialing to specific locations. See
“Numbering Plan” on page 91 . In addition, a standalone system may not need to be connected to the Internet, so
there is no need to set up the “WAN” port, and the system’s location is a lot more flexible.
2. Will this system be the “Master” system in a Voice Network?
If this system is part of a voice network, will it be the master system? If so, it will require a “Static IP Address”. If
not, it can use a DHCP Address, because it will be programmed to synchronize with the master system.
3. Will this system have any remote workers?
A remote worker is someone who uses the telephone system’s resources but does not reside in the same building
or physical area. Connecting remote workers requires a static Class A or B IP Address and the ISP’s DSL/Cable
modem should be programmed as a bridge or concurrent bridge.
4. Will the system be connected to PSTN Lines?
This may determine where the system will be located. If PSTN lines are being used it is a good idea to locate the
X-50 VoIP Telephone System close to where they enter the building.
The X-50 VoIP Telephone
System must have a static
Class A or B IP Address when
connecting multiple systems
or remote workers.
