1 Product Overview The VoIP Paging Gateway enables access to existing paging speakers through a VoIP phone system. This interface uses a standard paging amplifier, and supports paging to multiple zones from a VoIP phone. 1.
1.2 Supported Protocols ● Asterisk™ SIP server Offers Open Source benefits with the rich and flexible feature set of a large, proprietary PBX system. ● HTTP Web-based configuration Provides an intuitive GUI for easy system configuration and verification of gateways operations. ● DHCP Client Dynamically assigns IP addresses in addition to the option to use static addressing. ● TFTP Client Facilitates Web-based firmware upgrades of the latest speaker capabilities.
2 Setting Up, Configuring, and Using the Paging Gateway 2.1 Parts List The packaging for the VoIP Paging Gateway includes the parts shown in Table 2-1. Table 2-1.
2.2 Typical Installation Figure 2-1 illustrates how the VoIP Paging Gateway is normally installed as part of a paging system. Figure 2-1. Typical Installation PoE VoIP Paging Gateway VoIP Phone Paging Speakers FXO Paging Amplifier FXS IP PBX Complete the following steps after installation: 1. Call to make a page. The VoIP Paging Gateway generates a tone over the phone. 2. When you hear the tone, enter the two-digit code for the zone that you want to page.
2.3 Setting up the VoIP Paging Gateway Before you set up the VoIP Paging Gateway, be sure that you have received all the parts described in Section 2.1, "Parts List". To set up the VoIP Paging Gateway, see the following sections: ● Section 2.3.1, "Connect to the Power Source" ● Section 2.3.2, "Connect to the Network" ● Section 2.3.3, "Confirm that the VoIP Paging Gateway is Working Properly" ● Section 2.3.3.1, "Confirm Power on, Network Connectivity, and Connection Speed" ● Section 2.3.3.
2.3.2 Connect to the Network Plug one end of a standard Ethernet cable into the Paging Gateway Ethernet port. Plug the other end into your network. Figure 2-3.
2.3.3 Confirm that the VoIP Paging Gateway is Working Properly The indicator lights on the front of the VoIP Paging Gateway verify the unit’s operations. Figure 2-4.

Status Paging Blinks to indicate network activity Blinks when unit is up and running Blinks when unit is paging 2.3.3.
2.3.4 Connect to a Paging Device You can broadcast test messages via two different paging devices: ● A paging amplifier, which you use for normal paging operations, broadcasts the test message to the speakers in a specified paging zone. To do so, you need to first see Section 2.3.4.1, "Connect the VoIP Paging Gateway to a Paging Amplifier". ● Via a Plain Old Telephone (POT), which broadcasts the test message to you over the phone. See Section 2.3.4.2, "Connect the VoIP Paging Gateway to a Telephone". 2.
2.3.5 Broadcast a test message to all paging zones The Test/Reset switch is located on the back of the VoIP Paging Gateway (see Figure 2-6). The Test/ Reset switch enables testing to all paging zones and lets you restore the VoIP Paging Gateway to its factory default settings. Figure 2-6. Test/Reset Switch Test/Reset switch Once the VoIP Paging Gateway is running and connected to a paging device, use the Test/Reset switch to broadcast a test message to all of the zones in the paging system.
2.3.6 Restore the Factory Default Settings as Required The VoIP Paging Gateway is delivered with factory set default values for the following parameters. Use the Test/Reset switch on the back of the unit to restore these parameters to the factory default settings. Note When you perform this procedure, the factory default settings are restored for all the following parameters. Parameter Factory Default Setting IP Addressing static IP Address 192.168.3.
