Will IP telephony signals pass through fiber optic cable

[ganeshsivaprasad]

Hi,

One of our clients has 2 offices separated by a distance of 250m, so to enable inter connectivity we have laid multimode fiber optic cable. Both the offices are using Linksys SRW224G4P PoE switch with SFP ports. The main office hosts the Avaya IP Office 500 PABX system. The 27 telephones are distributed among the two offices. So if a person dials an extension from one office to another office, will his call pass through the multimode fiber. Do we need to do any additional configurations or anything inside the switch or some hardware has to be placed in front of it.

A swift reply is highly appreciated.

Will work just fine, as long as it's one big network or routed coirrectly, it's just data

@amriddle01

Thanks man..

yes, all IP phones comes under one network as there are no VLANS. I am giving all the telephones static IPs'. The switches are entirely dedicated to voice. Data switch is separate. The two locations are just connected through fiber via SFP modules to the respective switches.

The proposal has combo cards. Will that work fine with IPO software edition 8.

Moroever while giving static IPs' shall i give the HTTP server, TFTP server,file server, router everything to IPO500 IP address?

Please help

You can use DHCP too if you like.
You can create 8 pools of IP addresses in the IPO's internal DHCP server.


BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

why dont you use the DHCP on the WAN/Lan2 port if everything is separate.

If you have an IP500v2 use the sd card as your file server, if not put your file server software on your VM Pro sever and stick it on the same lan as the phones.

@tlpeter

If i am creating DHCP, for how many extensions will IPO500V2 support.

For eg if my IPO500V2 static IP is 172.16.32.1 and if i am giving the DHCP to all 27 IP phone extensions, what will i give to the below fields in LAN1 of IPO software

TFTP server IP address
HTTP server IP address

When given DHCP option, the only field that we may need to enter in 1608 & 1616 IP phones will only be the correct extension number.Please clarify this comment.

I am a real beginner without any training. If my threads are lengthy, i apologize boss. My company wont send me for any training and i have to learn all these stuffs by myself.

Hope you will understand the scenario.
