Integrate Backup Power into VoIP Networks Voice over IP (VoIP) is exploding in popularity as an application for business data networks. VoIP promises to consolidate a company's data and telecommunications infrastructure as well as its support resources. As a result, a company can lower its hardware and service costs while raising productivity through the use of more elaborate and customizable telephony applications. Unfortunately, there are serious limitations inherent to the data networks that

Consider the Diverse Needs of VoIP Network Equipment Before selecting a UPS System to ensure 100% availability of IP telephony systems, it's important to consider the unique requirements of VoIP network equipment. Network designs hosting VoIP applications will vary widely from business to business due to a number of variables, including the scale of the network and the variety of legacy equipment involved. However, three devices are common to all networks: Client Devices (phones, PC-based soft p

Select a UPS System which Provides the Highest Availability, Resiliency and Manageability When selecting a UPS System, the most obvious criterion to consider is whether a UPS System has enough capacity (VA/watts) to power equipment while having enough battery capacity to operate during a power outage for your required duration. Specific Tripp Lite UPS System recommendations are listed at the end of this document. Often overlooked during the selection process, however, are more subtle, yet critic

B. UPS System Battery Configuration UPS System availability, and therefore VoIP system availability, is most critically dependent upon the capacity of the UPS System's battery configuration. The number of UPS System batteries, both internal and external, determines the amount of runtime that is provided during a power outage. As mentioned previously, the runtime must fit the application. Most existing data networks are unlikely to provide reserve runtime power comparable to the public switched p

With power present, a battery system failure will not cause a system interruption. As long as utility power remains present, the UPS System will continue to power the connected IP telephony system without interruption and will continue to condition the power against most power anomalies. In the event of a power outage, the system will crash. In the event of a battery system failure, the internal batteries of the UPS System and/or the external battery packs can be replaced without a service in

In the event of a power electronics failure, a service interruption needs to be planned to replace the UPS System. With power present, a battery system failure will not cause a system interruption. As long as utility power remains present, the UPS System will continue to power the connected IP telephony system without interruption and will continue to condition the power against many power anomalies. In the event of a power outage, the system will crash. In the event of a battery system failu

adequate. Generally, line-interactive UPS Systems do not pose a problem. This is the subject of some debate and is generally presented as a major issue by vendors biased towards selling online UPS Systems. Line-interactive UPS Systems do tend to cost less than on-line UPS Systems and operate with higher efficiency, reducing electrical costs. In theory, an on-line UPS System battery should be used less frequently due to input voltage variation, and will therefore last longer. This advantage will

Networking Devices (switches, routers, etc.) Networking hardware will typically drive the most significant changes to your existing power infrastructure. With requirements spanning buildings and remote wiring closets, existing facility-wide backup plans are often impractical or unable to address the requirements of mid-size and large switches. Focused UPS System additions with extended runtime battery configurations more efficiently add the high level of availability that VoIP users demand. Trip

Call Processing Devices (servers and related storage systems) Typically, additional server and storage resources are added to handle call processing, voice messaging and other telephony applications. Such systems tend to reside within the data center and are multi-vendor in origin. For configuration assistance specific to your rollout, please contact Tripp Lite.
