Strata CIX General Description 08/14 163
Private Networking Over IP to the IPedge System
System Availability: Strata CIX systems to IPedge systems
Strata Net CIX multi-system networking can be implemented over an IP network using Strata CIX
systems with MIPU / GIPU IP interface circuit cards. The Strata CIX can Strata Net to an IPedge
with IPedge Net. Strata Net IP to IPedge Net, does not support modemized data signals, such as
modem signal and G3 fax because these signals require very low jitter and low delay on the
networks.
The MIPU16 / MIPU24 can be configured for up to 16 / 24 channels in system programming. The
GIPU can be configured to 8 channels. IPedge Net private networking over IP can support up to
128 separate nodes.
For bandwidth requirements, refer to the section “Strata Net IP and IPT Bandwidth Requirements”
on page 210.
Refer to “Analog CO Line Interface Compatibility” on page 159 if you are planning to mix analog
and Strata Net IP circuit cards in the same Strata system.
MIPU / GIPU interface parameters include:
• 100Base-TX: Automatic recognition and switch
• Transmission: TCP/IP, UDP/IP
• Protocol: Based on IP QSIG (ECMA-336), NAT compatible
• Protocol: RTP/RTCP for voice transport
• Voice coding: G.711, G.729A, selectable
• Priority process: Diffserv/IEEE802.1p
• For networking between CIX systems the MIPU must be on a public IP address with
recommended VPN
An example of Strata Net IP networking is shown below.
Note To network a Strata CIX system to an IPedge system via IPedge Net the Strata CIX system
must use MIPU or GIPU interface cards. The LIPU and BIPU interface cards do not support
IPedge Net operation.
