Deployment of UCx in a Network
Network Parameters
UCx Server is a network device that will be connected to your local area network (LAN). You must select a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for this device and an IP address that will be used by the device. You should also prepare network configuration parameters that will be used for the configuration of the UCX Server's network adapter.
The following table provides a list of network configuration parameters that you should prepare:
Parameter |
Default Value |
Selected Value |
---|---|---|

Other Network Considerations
Separate Voice LAN
The following diagram shows how UCx can be deployed in a network with a separate LAN for voice traffic. The advantages of having a separate voice network is improved voice quality and reliability, better security and problem isolation, See Configure a Second Network Port for configuration instructions.
Disable SIP ALG
On the network that routes UCx voice (SIP) traffic, we require SIP ALG be disabled. Most commercial routers have SIP ALG enabled by default. Please check the manufacturer's handbook for your device on how to disable SIP ALG. (See Unexpected call failures and registration problems for details.)
