Cisco AS5300 Gateway Setup

Other Important Considerations

Please ensure that the PortaUM machine and Cisco AS5300 gateway used

as a media server and VXML platform have a good network connection

between them. Ideally, they should be located on the same 100 Mbps or

1,000 Mbps LAN segment. This is important because the media server

needs to load sounds interactively from the PortaUM machine in real

time. Therefore, connections with packet loss or transmission delays

between the media server and the PortaUM machine can significantly

impair service quality. Also, it is likely that there will be a significant

amount of network traffic between the media server and the PortaUM

machine, which can be quite expensive if they are not co-located.
