Rules of Deployment: Inventory of Assets and Existing Capabilities
By:
Michael Talbert
Know what you have to work with by taking a full inventory of all your network hardware including switches, routers, servers, existing PBX's, cabling and end user equipment. Make sure to take note of their processing power and throughput capabilities, as well as any nodes that are not VoIP aware. Also be sure to document router OS versions and WAN connections to the Internet. |
