IP Extensions in AltiWare OE 4.0, © Copyright 2000, AltiGen Communications, Inc Page 4/11
1. First, create a virtual extension for each IP Extension user and configure all the standard
settings such as Call Restriction, Voicemail options etc. You can create this extension as
a physical extension as well.
2. In the General tab of Extension Configuration, there is a checkbox called Enable IP
Extension. Check that box.
3. You have two options to enable IP extensions:
a. If you have static IP address available (you get this IP address from your ISP or
your network administrator) for your IP phone/adapter, you should choose the
Static IP Address option and then enter the IP address of the IP phone in the
textbox Logon IP Address. This is the preferred method. Remember that if you
have a computer as well as an IP phone, you will need two IP addresses from
your ISP. You will also need a hub/switch in addition to the DSL, Cable or ISDN
router/modem. If you choose this option, you don't need to log on to your IP
extension every time you connect to your ISP.
b. If your ISP does not provide you with Static IP addresses, but offers DHCP
service, you should choose the Dynamic IP Address option. When you choose
this option, you will have to login to your IP extension every time you connect to
your ISP and log out before you disconnect from your ISP since the IP address
could be different every time you connect to your ISP. Due to this additional step
involved, the Static IP address scheme is preferred.
4.2. Client Configuration
At the time of writing this document, three IP phone/adapter devices are in the process of being
certified. They are:
• Quicknet PhoneJack & PhoneCard with the Internet SwitchBoard software
• Siemens LP5100 IP Phone
• AltiView integrated with NetMeeting
Configuration of each of these clients to work as IP extensions is described in detail in the
subsections below.
4.2.1. Quicknet
Quicknet Technologies makes adapters and software for PCs and laptops that provide real-time
compression / decompression of voice for VoIP applications. These adapters provide regular RJ-
11 interface for the user to plug in a standard analog phone to them. The software that ships with
these adapters - called Internet SwitchBoard - can be configured so that when the user picks up
the phone connected to the adapter, it connects to the AltiServ system to provide the system dial
tone. Thus, this phone behaves just like a regular physical extension on the AltiServ system.
Thanks to a strategic partnership between Quicknet and AltiGen, all Quicknet products provide
advanced functionality such as Message Waiting Light, Caller ID and Caller Name for the
AltiServ system.
Two types of Quicknet adapters are being tested at AltiGen for certification:
• PhoneJack PCI (for desktop PCs)
• PhoneCard (PCMCIA adapter for laptops)
Internet SwitchBoard version 3.2 or higher is required
for the IP extension feature to work
correctly. You can check the version by clicking on the rightmost button on the menu bar of the
Internet Switchboard application and then clicking on About Internet Switchboard. You can
obtain the latest software from http://www.quicknet.net/update/download_software.htm
