Wanderbox Networking Best Practices

With the Wanderbox replacing the X5, some users may need to adapt their typical deployments in order to accommodate fewer LAN ports. This document will define a few use cases of a Wanderbox Uno and Duo, involving units with both 1 and 2 LAN ports, and supporting iTAs in scenarios where it is possible. Where necessary, these scenarios will make use of the default VLAN on the Wanderbox, typically as a method of connecting to SIP phones.
