  • Page 6: Example Network Diagram

    1.1 Example Network Diagram Example Network Diagram The following diagram illustrates a simple VoIP network connecting Hybrid IP-PBXs at 2 different locations. The VoIP Gateway Card converts outgoing voice or fax signals into IP data packets for transmission. On the incoming side, it reverses this process and translates the packets back into appropriate voice or fax signals.
