The i-Series Gateway can be configured to operate in either a managed IP packet network or a point-to-point synchronous WAN environment over traditional networks. In a traditional WAN environment, up to two i-Series Branch Extenders can connect into the i-Series Gateway with Remote Voice Protocol (RVP)™ using voice signal encapsulation in HDLC packets over a serial port connection.

REMOTE VOICE PROTOCOL OVER IP (RVPoIP)™
To extend remote voice capability over a managed IP network, simply install an i-Series Gateway at your corporate site and then choose a combination of remote IP client units to meet your needs. Up to 12 ports can be terminated at the i-Series Gateway. Branch offices, teleworkers and remote call center agents can be connected using standard IP network termination devices such as IP routers and DSL or cable modems.

You can extend full corporate PBX capabilities over IP networks making voice and data convergence a reality.

A Remote Voice Protocol converts digital voice and phone signals into highly efficient data packets. Sophisticated software features include G-165 compliant echo canceller enhanced with robust double-talk performance, manufacturer provided PBX protocols and a range of industry standard voice compression options.
