KX-NS1000 Networking Features Rev0.9 5 Jan., 2012 1 Introduction KX-NS1000 provides two methods of private networking; 1. One-Look Networking 2. QSIG Networking (via ISDN and H.323) This part will focus on the new NS1000 feature “One-Look Networking”. • The main benefits of One-look networking are; – It looks like one PBX system, even though two or more PBXs are networked together. – The system can be expanded easily via a Web based maintenance console. – No additional servers are required for call control. • The main differences between “One-look” and “QSIG” are; – For “One-look”, the ‘Master’ PBX controls all extensions within the network. In a “QSIG” network, each PBX controls its own extensions. – For “QSIG”, each PBX needs to be programmed individually. For “One-look”, almost all settings are made in the master PBX only. – “QSIG” is suitable for connecting the NS1000 to the existing KX-TDE/NCP systems, or when there are 17 or more NS1000s in the network. – “One-Look” is available for up to 16 connected NS1000 systems (Max) 2 Table of Contents Chapter 1) One Look Networking : Overview 1-1 One Look Networking Concept 1-2 One Look Networking Overview 1-3 Master Unit and Slave Unit 1-4 Main Features 2) One Look Networking : System Design 2-1 IP Capacity Expansion : IP Trunks 2-2 IP Capacity Expansion : IP Extensions 2-3 Site Expansion 2-4 Activation Keys 3) How to configure One Look Networking 3-1 Registration of New Slave Unit 3-2 Easy Setup Wizard : Slave side 3-3 Add Site Wizard : Master side 3-4 Slave Unit Registration Wizard : Master side 3-5 Configuration for the slave units 3-6 About the Site ID 4) QSIG Networking 4-1 Overview 3 Chapter 1 One-Look Networking : Overview 4 1-1 One-look Networking Concept It looks like one PBX, even when connected through an IP Network. Conceptual View of One-look Networking Head Office The PBX located at the head office controls all of the extensions. Ext.1002 Ext.1001 IP Network Branch Office Ext.1101 Ext.1102 Branch Office Ext.1201 Ext.1202 All extensions within the One-look Network behave as if they were part of the Main Office, regardless of their actual location. * The network can be easily expanded with simple programming. - up to 1,000 extensions can be configured easily. 5 1-2 One-look Networking Overview (1) Master Unit controls one or more Slave Units (up to 15). Physical Connection of One-look Networking Head Office The PBX located at the head office is called the “Master Unit”. Master Unit IP Network PTSN PTSN Branch Office Branch Office Slave Unit Slave Unit The PBX located at the branch office is called the “Slave Unit”. If ‘Slave’ units are installed in Branch Offices, local calls can be made using local trunks. The Slave units can also support additional extensions and UM features. 6 1-2 One-look Networking Overview (2) Specifications * The maximum number of units within an one-look networking is 16. - Master : 1 - Slave : 15 * The maximum number of extensions within an one-look networking is 1,000. - Max. 1,000 extensions / networked system - Max. 640 extensions * / site (unit) * SIP Phone : 640 * IP-PT and IP Softphone : 128 * Extension (Physical Extension Card) : 2 * Network Protocol : NS-Net - NS-Net is a network protocol only used for Panasonic products. * No external (additional) server for network call control is required. - Major competitors need server for 5 or more PBXs. * The one-look network should be consist of the PBXs which have the same suffix of model number (e.g., KX-NS1000BX, this information can be found on the name plate). 7 1-3 Master Unit and Slave Unit Master and Slave units are the same physical PBX model. The PBX mode (Master or Slave) is set via system programming (Installation). The key parameters assigned to each unit are; - Master : PBX Type=Master, Own IP address - Slave : PBX Type=Slave, Own IP address, IP address of the master unit The PBX mode (Master or Slave) is indicated by the “MASTER” LED on the front of the unit.

Required Bandwidth per Call for Voice : Determined by CODEC and Packet Sending Interval Packet Sending Interval CODEC 20ms 30ms 40ms 60ms G.711 / G.722 80kbps 74.7kbps 72kbps 69.4kbps G.729A 24kbps 18.7kbps 16kbps 13.4kbps Required Bandwidth per Call for Signalling Phone Type Required Bandwidth IP Telephones (except SIP phones) 7.2kbps SIP Phone 16.0kbps Required Bandwidth for System Control TBD * In addition to the above, Basic Ethernet frame, VPN headers, etc., should also be considered. 15 2-3 Site Expansion (2) Bandwidth (2/2) Assessing bandwidth - Example; Master Unit Slave Unit IP Network CODEC : G.711 Packet Interval : 20ms Number of Extensions : 50 Extension Type : SIP Phone Number of Simultaneous Calls : 16 Bandwidth required for Voice data = Number of simultaneous calls x 2 x Required bandwidth for codecs (kbps) = 16 x 2 x 80 = 2560kbps Bandwidth required for Signalling = Number of simultaneous calls x signalling bandwidth per call for SIP phones (kbps) = 16 x 16 = 256kbps Total required bandwidth = Bandwidth required for Voice data (kbps) + Bandwidth required for signalling (kbps) = 2560 + 256 = 2816kbps * In this example, Basic Ethernet frame, VPN headers, system control data, etc., are not considered. 16 2-3 Site Expansion (3) The Number of Simultaneous Calls To fully assess the total bandwidth required, the number of simultaneous calls must also be considered. The number of simultaneous calls is proportional to number of extensions registered to the PBX, as shown in the chart below. Number of Registered Extensions 10 50 100 150 200 250 300 Number of Simultaneous Calls 6 16 26 35 44 53 61 17 2-4 Activation Keys (1) Centralized and Distributed Activation Key - Overview There are 2 types of Activation Key as follows.
