Private Networking Over IP to the VIPedge
164 Strata CIX General Description 08/14
Private Networking Over IP to the VIPedge
System Availability: Strata CIX systems to VIPedge 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 to VIPedge. This feature offers the same
connection service as ISDN dedicated lines with the Strata Net protocol on the public network.
Strata Net IP, 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 can be configured for up to 16 channels in system programming. The MIPU24 can
be configured to 24 channels. The GIPU can be configured to 8 channels. CIX Strata 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 and VIPedge, the MIPU can be on a private IP address without
VPN since the VIPedge supports Strata Net/VIPedge Net NAT Traversal.
An example of Strata Net IP to VIPedge networking is shown below.
Note To network a Strata CIX system to a VIPedge container via VIPedge Net, the Strata CIX
system must use MIPU or GIPU interface cards. The LIPU and BIPU interface cards do not
support VIPedge Net operation.
