Section 1
Overview
Panasonic PBX with VoIP Gateway Card will allow 
organizations to route both voice and fax communications 
over digital data networks.
The VoIP Gateway Card, designed to be easily integrated into 
existing IP networks, seamlessly bridges Public Switched 
Telephone Network (PSTN) and analog telephones with 
digital data networks without interrupting pre-existing data 
communications. Because communications do not take place 
over conventional telephone networks, the high cost of long 
distance communications is virtually eliminated.

1.1 Example Network Diagram
The following diagram illustrates a simple VoIP network connecting PBXs at 2 locations. The VoIP 
Gateway Card converts outgoing voice or fax signals into IP packets for transmission. On the 
incoming side, it reverses this process and translates the packets back into appropriate voice or fax 
signals.

1.2 Network Devices and Numbering Plan
You will need to have network configuration information available to install VoIP Gateway Cards. 
Referring to this example diagram, consult your network administrator to obtain necessary 
information to configure your own VoIP network.

1.2.1 Network Application
QSIG Network Interface
QSIG is a protocol based on ISDN (Q.931) that offers enhanced PBX features in a private network. 
The QSIG network supports private communications by the TIE line service method. Implementation 
of VoIP Gateway Cards provides a VoIP interface to employ a QSIG network between PBXs at 
different locations by using an IP network instead of conventional telephone networks.
Types of IP Network
The VoIP Gateway Cards quality of performance depends on the type of IP network in use. Managed 
IP networks provide better quality of service compared to unmanaged networks such as the Internet, 
where quality of service is not guaranteed.
Note
Unlike an IP-VPN, which is set up over a network providers own IP network, an Internet VPN is 
set up over the Internet. As delays and loss in data transmission are likely to occur over the 
Internet, an Internet VPN is not recommended for use.
Firewall
A firewall protects the internal networks of an organization against unauthorized penetration from 
outside. When routing a VoIP network through a firewall, some performance degradation may result. 
If for practical reasons you must route the VoIP network through a firewall, refer to A1.3 Network 
Devices for more details.
Using the KX-TDA0490 with Other KX-TDA Series VoIP Gateway Cards
When using the KX-TDA0490 in a network that contains other KX-TDA series VoIP Gateway Cards, 
keep in mind the following points:
1.Making and Receiving Calls
Calls can be made and received between the KX-TDA0490 and other KX-TDA series VoIP 
Gateway Cards. However, the KX-TDA0480 requires a special setting to be able to communicate 
with the KX-TDA0490 on the network. Refer to D1 Considerations in Installation for more 
details.
2.Using QSIG Services
All QSIG services available with the PBX can be used between the KX-TDA0490 and KX-
TDA0484/KX-TDA5480. However, CLIP service is the only available QSIG service between the 
KX-TDA0490 and KX-TDA0480. Examples of recommended IP networks
• Digital Leased Line
 IP-VPN (Virtual Private Network)
Frame RelayNot recommended
 Internet (including an Internet VPN)

1.2.2 Numbering Plan Example
There are 2 methods to plan your numbering system, as follows:
This section provides a network numbering mechanism using the PBX code method based on the 
previous example diagram. Configure your network referring to this example. 
Note
An example using the extension number method is provided in B Alternative Numbering Plan 
Example.
IP Addressing Information
IP addressing information is typically supplied by a network administrator. Consult your network 
administrator for specific values.PBX code 
methodIn addition to the destination number, the caller dials the unique PBX code of the 
PBX to which the called par ty is connected. Therefore, extension numbers at 
separate PBXs in the network can overlap. For example, each PBX in the 
network can have an extension whose number is 201.
Extension 
number methodThe caller dials only the destination number of the called party to call through 
PBXs at different locations (hence there are fewer digits to dial than with the PBX 
code method). To employ the extension number method, no 2 PBXs can have 
extensions sharing the same number. For example, if one PBX in the network 
has an extension whose number is 201, no other PBX can have an extension 
with the same number (201).

Card IP Address  200.45.11.35 199.176.64.41Identifies the location of each VoIP Gateway 
Card in the network during VoIP 
communications. A unique IP address must 
be assigned to each card.
Default Gateway 
Address200.45.11.1 199.176.64.1Identifies the IP address of the primary 
gateway (typically a router or similar device) 
that exchanges IP packets with the other 
gateways on the VoIP network.
Subnet Mask 
Address 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0Defines which digits of an IP address are 
used for the network address and the host 
address at each network location. A card IP 
address must fall within the same subnet as 
that of the default gateway (e.g., router) that 
is connected to the card.

PBX Numbering Information
PBX numbering information is necessary to set up phone numbers for a VoIP network. Set the 
numbers conforming to existing PBX numbering systems. 
Dialing Examples
The VoIP network allows you to access the PBX at one location from another to establish: (1) an 
extension call, or (2) an outside call through the local PSTN as if you are calling from the same area.

PBX Code 35 41A unique number (ranging from 1 to 7 digits) 
assigned to identify each PBX within a

In this example, for convenience, each PBX 
code corresponds to the last portion of the 
IP address of its card; that is, because the 
Los Angeles office card has the IP address 
200.45.11.35
, Los Angeles PBX code is 35.
