WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A STATIC IP ADDRESS AND A DYNAMIC IP ADDRESS? WHAT EFFECT DOES THIS HAVE ON VOIP?

A Static IP Address is an address that is permanently assigned to a device. Typically, a Static IP Address has to be assigned by the network administrator or Internet Service Provider (ISP). A Dynamic IP Address is an address that is temporarily assigned to devices by a DHCP or PPP server that maintains and assigns a pool of IP addresses. When deploying VoIP devices, it’s best to have a Static Public IP Address, as this prevents destinations from becoming temporarily unreachable. But since this can be an expensive option, the TalkSwitch 48-CVA supports the ability to handle Dynamic Public IP addresses for the Internet connection. TalkSwitch can automatically check for the current public IP address so that VoIP traffic is properly routed through the NAT.
