In the ent of a power outage, the QuadroE1/T1 SIP Service will automatically be disabled. User understands that in the event of ower or network outage, the QuadroE1/T1 SIP Service will not support 911 emergency services and further that such rvices will only be available via the user's regular telephone line not connected to the QuadroE1/T1.

    To establish a connection between the PSTN (or your PBX) and the Internet, a VoIP gate- way is needed. The QuadroE1/T1 is a VoIP gateway, and will perform the task of connecting your PSTN (or PBX) via its E1/T1 port to a Private Data Network that includes Quadro SIP routers (Quadro2x, -4x and/or16x) or the Internet.

  • Page 10: Connecting The Hardware

    Connect the Ethernet port on your PC via a straight CAT 5 cable with an RJ-45 connec- tor to the LAN socket of the QuadroE1/T1. If a hub or switch is connected between the QuadroE1/T1 and your PC, use a crossover cable from the LAN interface of the QuadroE1/T1 to the hub/switch.

    Static IP address for the WAN Interface. If you use a DHCP server, please config- ure it to deliver a static IP address. In this case, QuadroE1/T1 will get its IP address automatically, as it acts as a DHCP client on the WAN side.

  • Page 12: Logging In To Quadroe1/T1

    Enter http://172.30.0.1 (QuadroE1/T1’s default LAN IP address) into the address field. The Login page of the QuadroE1/T1 will be displayed (see picture below). Fig. I-5: QuadroE1/T1's login page Enter admin as the Username and 19 as the Password to log in as the administrator.

    If the DHCP server is enabled, the QuadroE1/T1 will assign dynamic IP addresses to the Admin PC connected to its LAN port. If you didn’t change the default IP address of the QuadroE1/T1, you may also leave the de- fault values for IP Address Range. Make sure your connected Admin PC belongs to the same network as the LAN port of your QuadroE1/T1.

  • Page 15: Regional Settings

    The Regional Settings determine the proper telephony parameters for the specified country. Select the country where the QuadroE1/T1 is located. If you do not find your coun- try in the list, pick the closest. If this setting does not work, issue a request to Epygi technical support under the Support section of www.epygi.com.

    Configuring the Quadro E1/T1 Configuring the E1/T1 Settings The QuadroE1/T1 can be connected to a PBX or to the PSTN via E1/T1 lines, using E1/T1 CAS/CCS signaling. The QuadroE1/T1 may be connected to act as a User (if connected to directly to the PSTN) or as a Network (if connected to a PBX).

  • Page 25: Editing The E1/T1 Trunk

    Editing the E1/T1 Trunk Fig. I-23: Trunk Edit page Select Network as your Interface Type if your QuadroE1/T1 is connected to a PBX, other- wise choose User. Next, you are required to enter the Signaling type (CAS or CCS), adjust the correct inter- face type (E1 or T1), and specify the requested settings of the selected interface type.

  • Page 26: Signaling Type Ccs

    In the Network Mode (PBX connected) you need to specify the same TEI address on both sides (Quadro and PBX), if the Non Automat mode is selected. If the Automat mode is se- lected the user on the PBX side may set any mode related to TEI assignment in the PBX configuration.
  • Page 27 Timer (digit values from 0 to 200000). This timer is used in certain types of PBXs. The value 0 indicates that the timer is disabled. When time expires, Quadro will play a busy tone towards the PBX if the call has been disconnected by the peer.
  • Page 28 The Generate Progress tone on IP checkbox selection will generate the progress tone to IP (H.323 or SIP). Select the Generate Progress Tone to PSTN/PBX checkbox to make Quadro generate ring tones to incoming callers during E1/T1 call dialing. This feature is mainly applicable to 2- stage dialing mode.

For Preferred channel selection, the CO answers to the call re- quest by the first available timeslot, while for Exclusive channel selection CO should feed- back only by the timeslot used for the call request.
  • Page 30 QuadroE1/T1 Manual I: Installation Guide Configuring the Quadro E1/T1 Edit will display the first page of the CAS signaling Wizard page (see below) where the sig- naling settings for the selected timeslots may be enabled or disabled and the Force Update Timeslot service may be enabled to apply new settings immediately.

    E1/T1 calls from CO/PBX to the Quadro can be configured. The Incoming Interdigit Ser- vice is used to configure E1/T1 dial plan for the incoming calls from CO/PBX to the Quadro. This service allows you to speed up the call establishment procedure by detecting the prefix.
  • Page 32 From the first page of the CAS Signaling Wizard, DID (Direct Inward Dialing) Service might be enabled on the timeslot(s). In User mode, the Quadro cannot route incoming calls from the E1/T1 trunk to extensions if the timeslot in the trunk does not have DID service enabled. Incoming call routing takes place according to the received caller ID.
  • Page 33 R2 signaling (compelled and non-compelled) can only be used with an E1 in- terface in User mode. Independent on the selection in this drop down list, Quadro with the T1 interface in the CAS mode is unable to detect the busy tone on the destination side. For E1 interface in the CAS mode, busy tone will be detected only for R2 compelled and non- compelled (both with and without ANI) signaling types.
  • Page 34 When Alternative Disconnection Mode checkbox is selected, the Quadro will play a busy tone towards the PBX/CO if the call has been failed. After 60 second timeout, the Quadro will disconnect the call from PBX/CO and will stop playing the busy tone.
