General information General information About the IP Gateway (IP GW) The IP GW is a voice and video gateway that allows calls to be made between pairs of IP endpoints that cannot normally connect directly to each other. A second Ethernet port allows for connections between two completely independent networks of endpoints. A built-in auto attendant and support for manual operators allow easy connection of calls where a caller cannot directly address the destination endpoint.
LED behavior Table 1 describes the behavior of the LEDs.
General information Table 1: IP GW LED behavior (continued) LED Color Indicates Ethernet Port Status, for each Ethernet port: Power FDX Green The link has been negotiated as a fullduplex link Act Green Packets are being transmitted on this port Link Green The speed of the link from this port, which is either 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps Blue The IP GW is receiving power 3
Connecting the IP GW Before you start IMPORTANT: Before installing the IP GW, you must read the safety information at http://www.codian.com/safety.htm Step one: Connect power Connect the power connector on the rear of the unit to the power supply using the supplied power cable. (There is no On/Off switch.) Connecting power causes the Power LED to light blue and when the IP GW has booted (which can take up to two minutes), the Status LED will light green.
Initial configuration Initial configuration Step one: Connect to the console port 1 2 3 4 Ensure power is connected to the IP GW and the Status LED is green. Connect the console port of the IP GW to the serial port of your PC using the blue RJ45 to DB9 cable supplied. Use a serial terminal program, such as SecureCRT or HyperTerminal, to connect to the IP GW. Set your terminal software to the following settings: Baud rate: 38400 Data bits: 8 Parity: none Stop bits: 1 Flow control: none Press Enter.
Step three: Assign an IP address to Port A The default setting for the IP GW is to use DHCP to obtain an IP address for Port A. You can assign a static IP address if you prefer or if a DHCP server is not available. If you want the IP address of the IP GW to be assigned by your DHCP server, omit this step. To assign a static IP address, use the following command: static i If you do not have a DNS server, use 0.0.0.
Configuring the IP GW Configuring the IP GW Step one: Log in to the IP GW All administration of the IP GW is performed through the web interface. To log in to the web interface of the IP GW: 1 2 Use your browser to navigate to the IP address of the IP GW (to discover the IP address, refer to the previous section). Click Click here to log in, and then click Change log in and enter the user name admin with no password.
Step three: Configure the default gateway and routes (optional) If the networks to which you connect contain more than one subnet, you might need to change the default gateway preference on the IP GW (default setting is Port A). You might also need to add routes to the configuration of the IP GW to indicate which interface will be used for certain IP addresses. To configure the default gateway and route information: Log in to the IP GW and go to Network > Routes.
Configuring the IP GW Step five: Configure the auto attendant menus (optional) Depending on the proposed configuration of your dial plan, and the settings for failed calls, callers can be connected to an auto attendant menu. The IP GW provides a highly flexible menu-creation feature. This enables you to create a menu (or a multilayered menu structure) to provide end users with the options they require when they connect to the IP GW.
Step seven: Add endpoints and call groups (optional) You can pre-configure a list of endpoints on the IP GW. For these endpoints, an operator or caller can simply choose the endpoint's name from an onscreen address book, rather than having to type in the endpoint's address when a caller wants to be connected to that endpoint. You can group configured endpoints into call groups. When a call group receives a call, all endpoints in the call group will ring and the first to be answered will take the call.
Checking for updates Checking for updates It is a good idea to regularly check for updates to the main IP GW software image. This section describes how to upgrade the IP GW using the web interface. Note that you can also upgrade the IP GW using FTP; this can be more reliable if you are upgrading the device remotely. Upgrading your device via FTP is described in the release notes that are available alongside the software images in the support section of the Codian web site (www.codian.com).
Troubleshooting and technical support information Using the event log to help solve a problem Unless you are experiencing a problem, all event logging sources should be set to the default, which is Errors, warnings and information. For more information about configuring the event log, refer to the online help accessible from the web interface. You can use the event log to produce debugging information to assist technical support in solving your problem.
