What is VoIP Gateway?
Brief summary and characteristics
VoIP gateway – ensures the decrease in expenditures related to corporate telephone communications, making it especially beneficial for the organizations with a large number of offices across the country and abroad. As well, it becomes much easier to connect with remote workers. Even in case when a company is facing temporary difficulties with the connection to the telephone network, the situation can be solved with help of IP telephony and the advantages of VoIP gateway.
VoIP Gateway types:
- Multi-channel
- Single-channel
- Analog
- Digital
Multi-channel VoIP gateways are mostly used in corporate processes, connecting between several offices of the company.
Single-channel VoIP gateways basically do not differ much from telephony systems. The traditional analog phones are meant to be connected to them. Single-channel gateways are widely used in small offices, with no more than three to four workers.
Analog VoIP gateways are used for connection with analog phone lines. Usually standard is from 2 to 24 lines.
Digital gateways are connected with digital communication lines. This allows the creation of a network, which combines the services of telephone communications and data exchange. Most popular lines are – BRI ISDN (used in Europe) and T1 (used in USA).
What has to have the VoIP gateway?
As a rule, each gateway has the built in router, which supports the wide number of routing protocols. Additionally VoIP gateway has the user authorization system with capability of automatic generation and distribution of IP addresses (as a server and as well as a client)
In gateways it is possible to setup up priorities for different types of traffic. Each of them has the necessary set functions for bandwidth management, network security, traffic analysis and administration.
The technical differences between gateways:
- By capacity ( by the number of telephones interfaces)
- By structure ( tabletop or 19’ rack)
- By power supply unit (internal or external)
Connection and Configuration
VoIP gateway can be easily connected with analog and digital office telephone switches of such producers as Panasonic, LG, Samsung, Siemens and many others. Type of the connection depends on how many free ports the station has, and what are the call routing capabilities. However the main conditions when choosing and connecting the gateway are the actual tasks and VoIP services, which it has to solve and handle.
Connecting the VoIP Gateway
Most often the connection is to urban or internal phone station lines. In the beginning the amount of international calls has to be considered. Next step is choosing the gateways with different number of channels, because the number of simultaneous connections is depending on it.
Configuration of VoIP Gateway
After VoIP gateways were successfully connected to the office phone switch, it has to be configured to work with one or few VoIP telephony operators. Configuration operations are simple, written in understandable language. So, when connecting to urban lines of office phone station, phone switch needs only one setting: all calls beginning with the prefix “8”, should be redirected to VoIP gateway.
