IP Gateway Unit (IPGW)
The IPGW is a gateway SIP or module that enables voice traffic to be carried over an IP-based data network connecting the Cerato ME/LE to any number of other H.323 or SIP systems.
The IPGW connects thirty Cerato ME/LE ports directly to a 10/100BaseT connection to deliver 30 virtual trunk circuits over the IP network. These trunks can be assigned as point-to-point or multi-point. The IPGW is used with the Cerato ME/LE as well as legacy systems such as the MAP, LX, and LH. The IPGW connects to data network using either a front panel RJ45 jack or terminated at the rear using an access assembly. Voice packets are encoded using G.711, and G.729a or G.729ab, with VAD/CNG support.
An external SIP or H.323 gatekeeper routes calls to the Cerato ME/LE via the IPGW. The external gatekeeper operates independently of the Cerato ME/LE. |
