LAN telephony

With its voice-over-IP gateway features, the SmartNode can be used as a standalone gateway for VoIP tele- phony (see figure 4).

A standalone gateway has performance reliability and scalability advantages compared with PC-based gateway cards. In this application, the SmartNode also offers a migration path to enterprise or carrier networking.

Figure 4 shows the deployment of a SmartNode as a LAN voice gateway.

The PSTN connections can be scaled from a single ISDN basic rate access to multiple primary rate lines. With Q.SIG, integration in private PBX networks is also supported.
