Interfacing NodePhone To Your PBX

Naturally a fair degree of technical expertise is required to interface NodePhone Business Trunks to an organisation's IP PBX phone system, and this should be examined carefully before committing to the service.

A specific requirement is certified interoperability of the IP PBX or phone system with Broadsoft, or an acceptance from the customer that their equipment may not be supported (from a helpdesk/technical support perspective) by Internode. Each case will be assessed individually to determine the level of support that may be available for the given equipment.

A number of IP PBX systems are already successfully interfacing to NodePhone Business Trunks including; Cisco Access Servers, UC500, Cisco Call Manager Express, Mitel 3300, Zultys MX series, DrayTek VigorIPPBX 2820, LG-Ericsson iPECS, 3CX and Asterisk. While these implementations are welcome, please note that Internode do not provide design, consultancy or ongoing support services for IP PBX systems.

Systems Integration

Most business customers will require the services of a trusted, competent voice/data systems integrator to achieve an optimal outcome. Internode suggest the following systems integrators:

• Subnet - Specialising in Cisco
• Tie Networks - Specialising in Mitel
• Fast Track Communications - Specialising in Zultys and others
• Business Technology Partners - Specialising in Samsung
• vtalk® - Customised solutions
• Geek.On.Net - Specialising in Asterisk
• Pact IT - Specialising in 3CX
• Mac Centre Norwood - Specialising in UC500

Voice and data communications are mission-critical to the majority of businesses these days, and you need to carefully select a systems integration partner based on trust, competence and experience.

Bandwidth and Quality of Service

Dimensioning of the broadband connection is also an aspect requiring careful attention, and some generic recommendations are a minimum service of 1500/256 kbps for two concurrent calls; and 512/512 kbps for five concurrent calls (i.e. in general, around 100 kbps per concurrent call or channel). Internode also provides Corporate Internet services in bandwidths ranging from 2 Mbps to 1000 Mbps, for larger organisations.

Finally, 'Quality of Service' prioritisation of your outbound traffic is also a key success requirement for broadband telephony. Note that the NodePhone platform automatically prioritises voice traffic from the Internode network; your equipment needs to do the same for voice traffic into the network.
