What environment do I need to connect HiPath BizIP devices?
- An Ethernet-type Local Area Network (LAN) is used to connect the BizIP 410 phones and the BizIP AD 20 in the same way as your PCs. Please make sure that you have a switched LAN- no hub. A phonesmay use the same LAN connection as a PC. For stand-alone phones a free port at the LAN switch and a LAN cable (Cat5) has to be provided.
How is the power supplied for the BizIP 410 phones?
- A Power-over Ethernet enabled LAN switch may be used to provide power over the LAN cable. Optionally a separate local power supply may be ordered and connected close to the phone.
What do I need to connect HiPath BizIP to the Internet?
- BizIP AD 20 connects to the DSL modem or cable modem of your Service Provider through Ethernet interface. If a combined modem / router is installed the router part should be disabled to allow Voice over IP operation. For Vo IP calls a bandwidth of at least 256kbit/s in the upstream direction is recommended, for more than 4 concurrent calls a higher bandwidth is necessary.

Fax is essential for my business. Can I use Fax through HiPath BizIP?
- HiPath BizIP supports connection of up to two Fax devices to BizIP AD 20. Fax over IP is not yet available wide-spread. For reliable operation Fax is routed always through ISDN. Fax over IP will be supported in a later release.
Can I continue to use my cordless handsets?
- A cordless system with analog base station (DECT standard) may be connected to BizIP AD 20. The cordless phones can be included in a call group and make direct calls. Additional features and an internal ISDN interface will be supported in a later release.
