Podcast – VoIP-SIP 101 - “How it works” - Free Tutorials for Channel Partners
Channel Partners can now use multimedia tutorials proven to “reduce the sales cycle” on their Web site for staff and customer education. That is, use these free tutorials on the Web site or e-mail newsletters as a means to help customers understand complex technical subjects. As one channel partner said it best, “these tutorials make it easy for the Web site to be one of our top sales resources. In addition, having the tutorials on-my-iPod is a cool-tool to show-off to customers.”
This free presentation is produced and presented by TECHtionary.com and is available in Adobe Flash (.swf), audio-only (.mp3), Apple Quicktime (.mov) and iPod/iPhone ( News - Alert) (.mv4) formats for download at: http://www.bizcastingonline.com/educate/media/podcasts/voip until June 8 when it will be removed unless you are part of the TECHtionary dealer program where there is no expiration.

VoIP 101-SIP - “How it works” - Technical explanation in 60 Seconds
- After the IP phone is plugged into the LAN network and the AC electrical outlet or via POE-Power Over Ethernet cable, the IP phone will connect “bootup” to the services router located on the customer’s premise.
- Now the IP phone downloads from the HSP-Hosted Services Provider (or onsite system such as ResponsePoint) an Image (user features, telephone lines, privileges and other client software to enable service), verifies software version, performs authentication and other network management software as well as Configuration data such as system features, line appearances, corporate and personal telephone directories and other information.
- Next the IP phone like a PC needs to get an IP-Internet Protocol Address such as (192.30.56.180) from the DHCP-Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server and connects to the IP network via a DNS-Domain Name Server.
