Configuration
Configuring the VoIP Gateway
There are two ways to configure the VoIP gateway:
Using a terminal or computer running terminal emulation software
connected to the diagnostic port via an RS-232 cable. In the discussion
below, the terminal (or computer) is referred to as a console and the
connection, a console connection.
Using a web browser on a computer connected to the device via the
WAN or LAN Ethernet connections. In the discussion below, the computer
running the browser is referred to as the management station.
Configuring the VoIP Gateway Using a Console
Setting up a Console
First-time configuration can be carried out through a "console," that is, either
(a) a VT100-type serial data terminal, or (b) a computer running communications
software set to emulate a VT100. The console must be connected to the
Diagnostics port. This is an RS-232 port with a 9-socket D-shell connector and
DCE-type wiring. Make the connection as follows:
1. Obtain suitable cabling for the connection.
You can use either (a) a "null-modem" RS-232 cable or (b) an ordinary RS-
232 cable and a null-modem adapter. One end of the cable (or cable/adapter
combination) must have a 9-pin D-shell connector suitable for the
Diagnostics port; the other end must have a connector suitable for the
console's serial communications port.
2. Power down the devices, attach the cable (or cable/adapter combination)
to the correct ports, and restore power.
3. Set the console to use the following communication parameters for your
terminal:
9600 baud
VT-100/ANSI compatible
No parity checking (sometimes referred to as "no parity")
