SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
The UNIVERGE SV9100 system uses IP for various applications, including:
System Programming
Voice Over IP
Switching
This section describes the procedure for connecting the UNIVERGE SV9100 system
to an existing data network and configuring TCP/IP. This is the first step in
implementing VoIP and other IP applications.
SECTION 2 NETWORK ADDRESSING OVERVIEW
Before connecting the system to a data network, it is necessary to obtain the relevant
IP Addressing information. This information is supplied by the IT Manager or Network
Administrator at the customer site.
2.1 IP Address
All equipment/devices used in the LAN setup must have an IP address
assignment. An IP address assigns a unique address for each device. There are
two types of IP addresses: Private and Global. A Private IP address is not
accessible through the Internet; a Global IP address can be accessed through the
Internet.
In most cases, a Private address is used, as LAN devices are not usually directly
connected to the Internet. Private addresses are usually taken from the following
ranges:
Class A 10.0.0.0 ~ 10.255.255.255
Class B 172.16.0.0. ~ 172.31.255.255
Class C 192.168.0.0 ~ 192.168.255.255
