Configuring the G150 Media Gateway with Manager
- License: Report failure to connect with the Licence Key Server.
- CSU Loop-Back: Only displays when the system locale is set to enu (North
America). Ticking this field enables the sending of CSU loop-back events, which
may then be monitored by an SNMP manager application.
- Phone Change: (Supported in survivable mode only.) When enabled, the G150
system sends a trap when a phone is removed or moved.
- Gateway Mode: If enabled, G150 will generate an SNMP trap whenever the
operating mode changes between survivable and sub-tending.

Config To dialog box, accept the selected save option and click OK. Otherwise, continue
making additional configuration updates and perform a Save when ready.
Connecting G150 to the Network & Communication
Manager
It is recommended that the G150 be connected to the network and hence Communication
Manager after all necessary configurations have been made on both the Communication
Manager and G150. It is recommended that the G150 is tested in survivable mode before
connecting it to Communication Manager. See
information on testing in survivable mode.
Configuration without IP Phones
If there are no IP phones connected locally to the G150 or any intentions of using IP phones in
the future, LAN1 can be used to connect to the network. Once the necessary configuration on
G150 and Communication Manager has been made, configure G150's connection to the
network via the LAN1 tab within Manager's System configuration form.
One of the key configuation decisions is the DHCP status of G150. The role of the G150 Media
Gateway within the data network is important to its overall functioning. The G150 has the ability
to manage the customer's IP network through its integral DHCP server. The G150 can be
configured to hold a pool of IP addresses for users on the Local Area Network. When a user's
PC is powered up, the G150 system will allocate an IP address for the duration of the user's
logon session. The DHCP server also provides the user's PC with the address of the Domain
Name Service (DNS) server and the Windows Name Service (WINS) server. Alternatively, for
customers who have a separate DHCP server, G150 can be configured to obtain its IP address
from that server or be set with its own dedicated static IP address. This decision needs to have
been decided by the customer's network administrator prior to the installation of G150.
