Section 1
Overview
Panasonic PBX with VoIP Gateway Card will allow
organizations to route both voice and fax
communications over digital data networks.
The VoIP Gateway Card, designed to be easily
integrated into existing IP networks, seamlessly bridges
Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and
analog telephones with digital data networks without
interrupting pre-existing data communications.
Because communications do not take place over
conventional telephone networks, the high cost of long
distance communications is virtually eliminated.

1.1 Example Network Diagram
6 Getting Started
1.1 Example Network Diagram
The following diagram illustrates a simple VoIP network connecting PBXs at two locations. The
VoIP Gateway Card converts outgoing voice or fax signals into IP packets for transmission. On
the incoming side, it reverses this process and translates the packets back into appropriate
voice or fax signals.

1.2.1 Network Application
QSIG Network Interface
QSIG is a protocol based on ISDN (Q.931) that offers enhanced PBX features in a private
network. The QSIG network supports private communications by the TIE line service method.
Implementation of VoIP Gateway Cards provides a VoIP interface to employ a QSIG network
between PBXs at different locations by using an IP network instead of conventional telephone
networks.
Note
CLIP service is the only QSIG service available between the KX-TDA5480/KX-TDA0484
and KX-TDA0480 VoIP Gateway Cards. There is no compatibility for other QSIG services.
Types of IP Network
The VoIP Gateway Card’s quality of performance depends on the type of IP network in use.
Managed IP networks provide better quality of service compared to unmanaged networks such
as the Internet, where quality of service is not guaranteed.
Firewall
A firewall protects the internal networks of an organization against unauthorized penetration
from outside. When routing a VoIP network through a firewall, some performance degradation
may result. If for practical reasons you must route the VoIP network through a firewall, refer to
"A1.3 Network Devices" for more details.
1.2.2 Numbering Plan Example
There are two methods to plan your numbering system, as follows:
This section provides a network numbering mechanism using the PBX code method based on
the previous example diagram. Configure your network referring to this example.
Examples of recommended IP networks
• Digital Leased Line
• IP-VPN (Virtual Private Network)
•FrameRelay
Not recommended
• Internet
(Delays and loss in data transmission
can cause degradation in speech
quality.)
PBX code
method
In addition to the destination number, the caller dials the unique PBX code
of the PBX to which the called party is connected. Therefore, extension
numbers at separate PBXs in the network can overlap. For example, each
PBX in the network can have an extension whose number is 201.
Extension
number method
The caller dials only the destination number of the called party to call
through PBXs at different locations (hence there are fewer digits to dial
than with the PBX code method). To employ the extension number
method, no two PBXs can have extensions sharing the same number. For
example, if one PBX in the network has an extension whose number is
201, no other PBX can have an extension with the same number (201).

Note
An example using the extension number method is provided in "B Alternative Numbering
Plan Example".
IP Addressing Information
IP addressing information is typically supplied by a network administrator. Consult your
network administrator for specific values.
PBX Numbering Information
PBX numbering information is necessary to set up phone numbers for a VoIP network. Set the
numbers conforming to existing PBX numbering systems.

Description
Card IP
Address 200.45.11.35 199.176.64.41
Identifies the location of each VoIP Gateway
Card in the network during VoIP
communications. A unique IP address must
be assigned to each card.
Default
Gateway
Address
200.45.11.1 199.176.64.1
Identifies the IP address of the primary
gateway (typically a router or similar device)
that exchanges IP packets with the other
gateways on the VoIP network.
Subnet Mask
Address 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0
Defines which digits of an IP address are
used for the network address and the host
address at each network location. A card IP
address must fall within the same subnet as
that of the default gateway (e.g., router) that
is connected to the card.

Description
PBX Code 35 41
A unique number (ranging from 1 to 7 digits)
assigned to identify each PBX within a
network.
In this example, for convenience, each PBX
code corresponds to the last portion of the
IP address of its card; that is, because the
Los Angeles office card has the IP address
200.45.11.35, Los Angeles PBX code is 35.

An access number to use the TIE line
service.

an extension call, or (2) an outside call through the local PSTN as if you are calling from the
same area.

PBX Connection Information
PBX connection information is created by combining IP Addressing Information and PBX
Numbering Information. Referring to the sample below, create your own PBX connection
information.
Leading Number:
A number composed of the PBX code followed by the first
digit of the destination number. See the example on the
right.
Remaining Digits:
The maximum number of digits to be dialed following the
leading number to access the destination. (However, for
example, setting the remaining digits to 7 does not mean
that the user must dial all 7 digits when making a call.)
See the example on the right.
Card IP Address:
The IP address of each card in the network (as the access destination).

Install the VoIP Gateway Card in slot 05, 06, or 07 of the KX-TDA50 PBX.
1. Before installing the card, cut and remove the dummy cover plate for the appropriate slot
from the main unit.
CAUTION
For safety reasons, smooth the cut edges after removing the dummy cover plate.
2. Position the card in the open slot, making sure that the tabs on both sides of the card fit
into place. Then, holding the card firmly in place, lower the rear end so that the hole of the
card fits over the extension bolt.

Use a category 5 (CAT 5) Ethernet cable (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) with an RJ45 connector
to connect the VoIP Gateway Card to a network device.
When connecting the card to a switching hub, use an Ethernet straight cable; when connecting
directly to a router or PC, use an Ethernet cross cable.
Note
Use only CAT 5 Ethernet cable for connection.
2.2.1 Connection for Programming
When assigning a new IP address to the VoIP Gateway Card for the first time, connect a PC
directly to the card using an Ethernet cross cable.
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector of the card.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the PC.

2.2.2 Connection to the LAN
Do not connect the VoIP Gateway Card to the LAN unless it has been assigned an IP address
for actual VoIP operations on the network. Doing so may result in the default IP address of the
card overlapping with an existing IP address on the LAN, or cause network failure.
1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 connector of the card.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the remote LAN equipment.
