VoIP Setup Using the Configurator

Initial setup of the VoIP feature using the Configurator is as follows:

1. Obtain a reachable IP address from your Network Administrator for each Passport unit that is going to support VoIP.

A reachable IP address means there are no obstructions preventing a Passport unit at a remote end of the network from establishing TCP and UDP connections with the unit assigned this IP address. You can use the same IP address that is configured as the unit's Ethernet port IP address.

Passport 4400 units can have a maximum of 32 IP addresses configured (including multihomed IP addresses).

2. Add the IP addresses to the Passport units.

In the navigation menu, select Configure, Protocols, and IP, as follows:



Click on Interfaces. The IP Interfaces menu will be displayed:



Click on the Add IP Address link at the top of the screen. You will see the IP Interface Selection screen. Select the type of interface to which you are assigning the IP address:



You will see the Add IP Address screen. Fill in the following fields:

• IP Address: enter the new IP address.
• Index: select the IfIndex of the port to be assigned this IP address.
• Net Mask: enter the subnet address mask that is required for the class of IP address (255.255.255.0, 255.255.0.0, or 255.0.0.0).
• Broadcast Address: enter the address used for broadcast on this network interface (example: 255.255.255.255).
