ITG Basic Unit Installation and Reference Guide


Introduction

The Internet Telephony Gateway is a cost-effective and highly reliable analog Voice over IP (VoIP) Gateway that offers toll quality voice and real-time fax data over IP networks. With its embedded architecture, the gateway is ideal for VoIP applications associated with Remote Office and Branch Office (ROBO) environments. With its built-in user-friendly interface, the gateway may be installed easily and conveniently to yield immediate cost savings, one Internet Telephony Gateway may support up to eight voice or Fax communications simultaneously.
Implemented with an efficient Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) and FLASH memory, the Internet Telephony Gateway provides upgradeable capabilities, so it may be programmed with updated protocols or algorithms locally or via the network at anytime. It comes equipped with remote management capabilities, configurable signaling to work with PBX, KTS, and/or telephone. The Internet Telephony Gateway utilizes advanced VoIP related technology. It includes various voice coders and fax algorithms, echo cancellation, Voice Activity Detection (VAD), Comfort Noise Generation (CNG), and packet recovery algorithms.

In the following section, the term "ITG" will represent the PLANET Internet Telephony Gateway - VIP-000.
