Service Providers
In order to provision the IPitomy IP PBX it is necessary to know the type of Service Providers being used. Carrier and
SIP are the most common service providers. Carriers provide plain old telephone lines (POTS), T1s and PRI lines.
SIP Providers route voice calls over the internet. This is called voice over internet protocol or VoIP. As part of the
installation it will be important to know the:
• Name of Providers
• Type of Service Provided (i.e., POTS, T1,or SIP)
• Phone Numbers Associated with the Service
• Password and Login Information for SIP Service
You should always consider any previous historical data that you have from your existing
system. Any past reports or spreadsheets which relate to the components being designed,
should be considered as possible input when configuring your IP PBX system.
We recommended that you record this information on the IPitomy Setup Worksheet.
