Chapter 3: Network Requirements

Network Assessment

Perform a network assessment to ensure that the network will have the capacity for the expected data and voice traffic, and that it can support for all applications:

●SIP,

●DHCP,

●HTTP/HTTPS, and

●Jitter buffers

Also, QoS support is required to run VoIP on your configuration. For more information, see Appendix B: Related Documentation and the QoS parameters L2QAUD, L2QSIG, DSCPAUD, and DSCPSIG in Table 11: 9600 Series SIP IP Telephones Customizeable System Parameters.

Hardware Requirements

To operate properly, you need:

●Category 5e cables designed to the IEEE 802.3af-2003 standard, for LAN powering,

●TN2602 IP Media Processor circuit pack. Sites with a TN2302 IP Media Processor circuit pack are strongly encouraged to install a TN2602 circuit pack to benefit from the increased capacity.

●TN799C or D Control-LAN (C-LAN) circuit pack.

! Important:

IP telephone firmware Release 1.0 or greater requires TN799C V3 or greater C-LAN circuit pack(s). For more information, see the Communication Manager Software and Firmware Compatibility Matrix on the Avaya support Web site http://www.avaya.com/support.

To ensure that the appropriate circuit pack(s) are administered on your Communication Manager call server, see Chapter 4: Communication Manager Administration. For more information about hardware requirements in general, see the Avaya one-X™ Deskphone Edition for 9600 SIP IP Telephones Installation and Maintenance Guide.
