October 2001 Meridian Digital Telephone IP Adapter description
Voice over IP network call
1 The Meridian Digital Telephone IP Adapter user lifts the handset (item A).
Result: The Meridian Digital Telephone IP Adapter user hears a dial tone.
This indicates a successful connection to the RLC over the IP network and
the corporate WAN (item B).
2 The Meridian Digital Telephone IP Adapter user dials the external
telephone number.
Result: The Meridian Digital Telephone IP Adapter unit sends the dialed
digits as packets across the Ethernet network. The packets go through the
IP network and the corporate WAN, to the RLC. The RLC converts the
packets to the format required by the host PBX. The host PBX then
converts the data to voice and routes the call to the called party (host
stations 1 and 2).
Note: Item notations in parentheses refer to circled markers in the diagram on
page 16.
