Supported Small Community Network Layouts
The allowed arrangement of IP Office Lines between the systems depends on the lowest software level of any system in the network. Note that this refers to IP Office Lines configured in the system configurations. The actual IP network configuration, including IP routes in the system configurations, can differ as per the customer network requirements.
Star/Serial Layouts
The following are examples of star and serial layouts.
---- = IP network, | = IP Office Line.
Mesh Layout
A mesh layout is one where there is more than one possible IP Office Line route between any two systems. The following are examples of mesh layouts. Mesh, star and serial layouts can be combined.
Small Community Network Signaling
Within the Small Community Network, each IP Office uses signaling similar to RIP to update each other systems of their presence.
This traffic can be seen in the System Monitor application as AVRIP packets.
This traffic is sent to port 50795 on which each system listens.
Each system in the Small Community Network transmits an update every 30 seconds.
Additionally, BLF updates are transmitted when applicable up to a maximum of every 0.5 seconds.
Typically the volume is less than 1Kbps per system.
