Chapter 2: IP3062 Professional IP Phone
Firmware Architecture
This chapter provides an overview of the IP3062 Professional IP Phone firmware big
picture, specifically an understanding of how the phone fits into the network configuration.
If you want to begin setting up your IP3062 phones, go to Setting Up Your Phone Network.
The IP3062 phone supports the following deployment scenarios.
The Session Initiation 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 IP3062 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 IP3062 Phones Fit in Your Network
 Understanding IP3062 Phone Firmware Architecture
 Features Available on Your IP3062 Phones
If you want to begin setting up your IP3062 phones on the network, go to Setting Up Your
Phone Network.
If you want to begin configuring the features available for your IP3062 phones, go to Part 3:
Configuring Your System.
Where IP3062 Phones Fit in Your Network
IP3062 phones connect physically through a Category 5 (Cat-5) cable to a standard office
twisted-pair (IEEE 802.3) 10/100 megabits per second Ethernet LAN, and send and
receive all data using the same packet-based technology.
There are many ways to set up a phone network using IP3062 phones. The figure below is
just one example of a network setup.
