2.1 VoIP Requirements2.1.1 Bandwidth AssessmentWhen using IP-PTs, you must ensure that the IP network in use has enough bandwidth to support VoIPcommunications. If the amount of bandwidth required for VoIP communications is larger than the network canaccommodate, speech quality will be compromised. In addition, there may be an adverse effect on theperformance of other applications (e.g., email or web applications) that use the same network. Therefore, caremust be taken when assessing bandwidth requirements.Inform your network administrator of the required bandwidth, and make sure that the network can support VoIPcommunications even under conditions of maximum network traffic.Required Bandwidth per IP-PT for a CallThe required bandwidth depends on what combination of CODECs and packet sending intervals is used. Keepin mind the following points about the type of CODEC and packet sending interval, in terms of speech quality:• The speech quality of the G.711 CODEC is higher than that of the G.729A CODEC.*1• The shorter the packet sending interval, the higher the speech quality.• The higher the speech quality the IP-PTs provide, the more bandwidth the IP-PTs require.*1 When the preferred CODEC of each party differs, the call will be established using the lower CODEC. For example, if the callerprefers G.711 while the called party prefers G.729A, the call will be established using G.729A.CODECPacket Sending Interval20 ms 30 ms 40 ms 60 msG.711 87.2 kbps 79.5 kbps — —G.729A 31.2 kbps 23.5 kbps 19.6 kbps 15.7 kbpsRequired Bandwidth for Each IP-EXT CardTo allow all IP-PTs to make calls simultaneously, it is necessary to keep available the bandwidth required byan IP-EXT card with the maximum number of IP-PTs connected.Provided below is the formula to calculate the amount of bandwidth required for each card.When using the IP-EXT4 card:Required Bandwidth = (Required Bandwidth per IP-PT ´ 4)When using the IP-EXT16 card:Required Bandwidth = (Required Bandwidth per IP-PT ´ 16)2.1.2 Network ConfigurationYou must evaluate the structure of the existing network to see if a VoIP network can be implemented. Beloware the points that should be evaluated.Is the IP network a managed network?A VoIP network should be implemented on a managed IP network such as Frame Relay, Leased Line, orIP-VPN (Virtual Private Network).An unmanaged network, such as the Internet (including an Internet VPN), cannot be used to employ a VoIPnetwork because delays and loss in data transmission can cause huge degradation in speech quality.14 Information about IP Proprietary Telephones2.1.2 Network Configuration
