Use the ISG50 to provide VoIP and security services.
Figure 2 All-in-one Application Scenario
VoIP Services:
• VoIP phones and smartphones can make internal calls and external calls.
• Least Cost Routing (LCR) dialing rules put calls through the appropriate outbound line. Long
distance calls (to C in the figure) use VoIP and local calls (to D) use PSTN or ISDN.
• Auto attendant menu systems act as automatic switchboard operators to help route incoming
calls to the proper extension.
• Customers (like B) use Web services such as Click To Talk, Skype, or Google Voice to call in.
• Voice mail stores voice messages for users and can also forward them by email.
• Conference room extensions allow callers from within and outside your organization to join
conference calls by dialing a conference room extension.
• Use call recording to record all calls for specific extensions or trunks or let users record calls.
• VLAN and QoS enhance voice quality.
•Fax over IP.
• PSTN or ISDN outbound voice trunks and fax service.
Security Services:
• Firewall protected Internet access and DMZ network for publicly accessible servers.
• IPSec VPN-secured VoIP services and internal server access for teleworkers (A and C in the
diagram).
• Multiple WAN gives fail-over protection for VPN connections and VoIP.
