The following diagram shows an IP phone for a remote worker or satellite office:
IP phones are configured much the same way as other Wave phones are configured in the
User/Group Management applet. Each phone gets a primary extension number and can use a
wide variety of PBX features on the Wave Server. The physical phone set also requires some
configuration to initiate communication with the Wave Server. See “Configuring SIP phones”
on page 6-22 for configuration procedures.
License requirements for IP phones
In order to use IP phones with your Wave Server, you must purchase and enable IP User and IP
Gateway licenses. Contact your Vertical provider for more information.
MAC addresses
IP phones do not use station card ports like TDM phones; instead they connect over the data
network, so the Wave ISM relies on the MAC address as the unique identifier for each IP phone.
Just as the Wave Server uses a station card slot number and port number to associate an
extension configuration with a TDM phone, a MAC address is used to associate an extension
configuration with an IP phone.
IP addresses
In addition to a MAC address, IP phones also need IP addresses for call routing purposes. IP
addresses can be assigned to each phone by a DHCP server, or the phone can be configured with
a static IP address.
