System Installation Overview
Figure 1 illustrates how the Synapse system differs from conventional telephone systems
in that calls are not coordinated by a central controller. Instead, the system uses a
distributed control system over a new or existing LAN.
Figure 1. Sample System Network
A system must have at least one PSTN Gateway, one T1 Gateway, or one SIP Gateway.
There can be up to four PSTN Gateways, and a system can include a T1 Gateway, SIP
Gateway, and PSTN Gateways.
