Appendix A - TCP/IP Description

Internet Protocol (IP)

IP is the Internet standard protocol that tracks Internetwork node addresses, routes outgoing messages and recognizes incoming messages, allowing a message to cross multiple networks on the way to its final destination. The IPv6 Control Protocol (IPV6CP) is responsible for configuring, enabling, and disabling the IPv6 protocol modules on both ends of the point-to-point link. IPV6CP uses the same packet exchange mechanism as the Link Control Protocol (LCP). IPV6CP packets are not exchanged until PPP has reached the Network-Layer Protocol phase. IPV6CP packets received before this phase is reached are silently discarded. (See also TCP/IP.)

Before you install TCP/IP on your network, you need to establish your Internet addressing strategy. You first choose a domain name for your company. A domain name is the unique Internet name, usually the name of your business, that identifies your company. For example, Multi-Tech’s domain name is multitech.com (where .com indicates this is a commercial organization; .edu denotes educational organizations, .gov denotes government organizations). Next, you determine how many IP addresses you’ll need. This depends on how many individual network segments you have, and how many systems on each segment need to be connected to the Internet. You need an IP address for each network interface on each computer and hardware device.

IP addresses are 32 bits long and come in two types: network and host. Network addresses come in

five classes: A, B, C, D, and E. Each class of network address is allocated a certain number of host addresses. For example, a class B network can have a maximum of 65,534 hosts, while a class C network can have only 254. The class A and B addresses have been exhausted, and the class D and E addresses are reserved for special use. Consequently, companies now seeking an Internet connection are limited to class C addresses. The current demand for Internet connections will exhaust the current stock of 32-bit IP addresses. In response, Internet architects have proposed the next generation of IP addresses, Ipng (IP Next Generation). It features 16-byte addressing, surpassing the capacities of 32-bit IP.

An IP address can serve only a single physical network. Therefore, if your organization has multiple physical networks, you must make them appear as one to external users. This is done via “subnetting”, a complex procedure best left to ISPs and others experienced in IP addressing. Since IP addresses and domain names have no inherent connection, they are mapped together in databases stored on Domain Name Servers (DNS). If you decide to let an Internet Service Provider (ISP) administer your DNS server, the ISP can assist you with the domain name and IP address assignment necessary to configure your company’s site-specific system information. Domain names and IP addresses are granted by the InterNIC. To check the availability of a specific name or to obtain more information, call the InterNIC at (703)742-4777.

MVP120 specifications

Multi-Tech Systems MVP120 is an advanced communication device designed to enhance various applications across industries. It is a part of the Multi-Tech's MVP (MultiVoIP) product line, which is renowned for its versatility and robustness in VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) solutions. The MVP120 provides businesses with an efficient way to convert traditional analog voice signals into digital formats suitable for transmission over the Internet or other digital networks.

One of the main features of the MVP120 is its support for up to 12 voice channels. This capability allows multiple calls to be managed simultaneously, making it an ideal choice for businesses with high call volumes. The device offers a seamless integration with existing telephony systems, enabling users to retain their current infrastructure while benefiting from the added advantages of VoIP technology.

The MVP120 utilizes advanced Voice over IP protocols, including SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), which facilitates the establishment, management, and termination of voice sessions over the internet. SIP compatibility enhances interoperability with various service providers and existing communication systems, ensuring a flexible and scalable solution for businesses of all sizes.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the MVP120 is its built-in T.38 fax support.
