P2000W V2 Troubleshooting Guide

6. What is the difference between H.323 and SIP?

H.323 and SIP are proposed by different group

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a standard introduced by the Internet Engineering Task Force in 1999 to carry voice over IP. Since it was created by the IETF, it approaches voice and multimedia from the Internet, or IP, perspective of view. Where as H.323 emerged around 1996, and as an International Telecommunication Union standard it was designed from a telecommunications perspective. Both standards have the same objective - to enable voice and multimedia convergence with IP protocols.

7. Can H.323 and SIP interoperate with one another?

In interoperability between the two, the industry is making slow but sure progress. Interoperability must first happen between vendor implementations of the same protocol (SIP-to-SIP and H.323-to-H.323) and then between protocols. Currently in order for SIP client to talk to H.323 client the ITSP must have a trunking gateway act as a translator between the two protocols without the truncking gateway the two protocols are not able to communicate to one another.

8. What do I need in order to use SIP?

The minimum required to use VoIP is as follow.

1.A high-speed Internet connection. This can be a cable modem, or a high- speed network services such as ISDN, DSL or a T-1 link. The need of the bandwidth required will depend on the amount of telephone traffic will be in your network.

2.A PC with VoIP software installed or a hardware VoIP box such as ATA or device like P2000W V2.

3.An account with a VoIP provider such as an ITSP. The account can be configured to recognize your calls automatically, or you can require the users to enter their unique account numbers issued.
