across the network. To enable IP protocol, the TVP-221H 
must have a Real IP address, subnet, and gateway assigned 
to it. 
Voice over IP Protocol 
(VoIP) 
VoIP enables the TVP-221H to transfer voice 
communications over an IP network. The TVP-221H 
employs ITU-T H.323 protocol for setting up calls with 
one another. 
Trivial File Transfer 
Protocol (TFTP)  
TFTP allows you to transfer files over the network. The 
TVP-221H implements a TFTP client allowing you to 
download new revision firmware from a TFTP server. The 
TFTP client requires a TFTP server in your network. 
Real-Time Transport  
(RTP)  
RTP is a standard for transporting real-time data over IP 
network. The TVP-221H uses RTP protocol to send 
digitized and compressed voice packets.
