  • Page 57: Dial Plan Set Up

    6.DIAL PLAN SET UP This chapter shows you the basic concept and steps to help you configure your ITG through the LAN port. It includes the VG-400R voice port and Dial Plan. 6.1 Concepts 6.1.1 The Voice Port There are two types of voice port, FXO (Foreign eXchange Office) and FXS (Foreign eXchange Station).

  • Page 58: The Dial Plan

    The FXO port cannot connect to a device such as telephone or fax machine since they do not provide Hint any phone number / extension and cannot generate any ring signal. If you connect those to the FXO port, you may hear nothing once you pick up the handset.
  • Page 59 Destination 1) Phone Number The “Phone number” associated with the VG-400R is a set of digits. You may look at that as an area code associated with your phone number. This number will only map to one Hunt Group in this example. You may reference to Section 7 for more details regarding configuration and Dial Plan examples.

  • Page 60: Web Browser Configuration

    The “Destination ID” here is an interpreter between Hunt Group and physical Destination. Hunt Groups may map to the same destination ID. The destination is either a local physical port or a remote IP address that ITG should make a call to. Each Destination ID maps to a physical destination.
  • Page 61 Click “VOIP” for all the telephony related settings, and VG-400R will display as follows:...
  • Page 62 You are advised to set up your Dial Plan associated with the VG-400R first before dialing any number and making a VoIP phone call. Click ”Dial Plan”, it will display as follows:...
  • Page 63 Click “Phone/Hunt Group/Destination Settings” and prepare to enter phone numbers, and VG-400R prompts the following:...
  • Page 64 Choose “Add”, “Telephone”, and “Select”, and VG-400R will display the following screen:...
  • Page 65 Fill in the information associated with “Telephone Number”, “Hunt Group ID”, “Min. Digits”, “Max Digits”, and “Strip Length”. Make sure the above data is correct then click “Complete”. Telephone Number – A set of digits. You may look at that as an area code associated with the remote Gateway.
  • Page 66 Strip Length – The number of digits needed to be strip off from the beginning of the dialing digits. Append prefix – The digits needed to be appended in front of the dialing digits after it is stripped for the strip length. The newly added telephone number will be displayed for confirmation as follows: Choose “Add”...
  • Page 67 Enter the information related to “Hunt Group ID” and “Destination ID”, then click “Complete”. The newly added Hunt Group ID and Destination ID will be displayed for confirmation as follows.
  • Page 68 Hunt Group ID – An interpreter between a Hunt Group and a Destination. Destination ID – The destination is either a physical port or a remote IP address that VG-400R should make a call to. Each Destination ID maps to a physical destination. There are two types of physical destination.
  • Page 69 Now choose “Add” and “Remote_Destination_IP” for setting up the Destination IP address. Click “Select”, and the VG-400R prompts as follows:...
  • Page 70 The information associated with “Destination ID” and “IP Address” of the remote Gateway should be filled in. Click “Complete”. The newly added remote IP address will be displayed for confirmation as follows:...
  • Page 71 Now you may test the phone connected to the remote Gateway (211.20.86.4) with phone number “88635xxx” from your local phone.

  • Page 72: Configuration Examples

    7.CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES (USE CONSOLE OR TELNET COMMANDS) 7.1 The Default Dial-plans Before any configuration set up, your VG-400R should have the following basic default information. Network: : 192.168.0.1 Mask: : 255.255.255.0 Gateway : 0.0.0.0 Dial Plan: Hunt Dest. Dest. Group 0 (local port #1) 1 (local port #2) (X-1)
  • Page 73 You may also check the LED indicators on the VG-400R. When it rings, the related LED should Hint flash. After you pick up the handset, it should remain on and off when the phone is on hook. Now let’s test your ITG that is equipped with FXO interface. Assume you have one extension line associated with your PBX system, say, 316 as the designated extension number, we connect this line to VG-400R port 1 (FXO port), then...

  • Page 76 Now, once VG A gets a dialed number “02” it will direct the call to VG B. The same is true for VG B. The dialed number ‘01’ will be mapped to VG A accordingly. VG A (01) VG B (02) Assume both VGs have a FXS port corresponding to port#3 each with a phone set connected to it.
  • Page 77 If you can not hear the ring signal, please do make sure of the following: 1) Both VGs can ping each other Hint 2) Phone sets are connected to the correct ports. In this example, it should be the FXS port. Also the phone number will be “20X”...
  • Page 78 The user at ext. 100 wants to make a call to VG B, 203. What we need to do is to pick up the handset with extension ‘100’ and dial ‘316’. After you hear the dial tone again, dial ’02-203’. Then, the phone attached to VG B should ring.

    7.3 PBX related issues There are some issues related to PBX system. There are: 1) CP (Call Progress) Tone detection, and 2) Call Security. 7.3.1 CP Tone Detection You may encounter a problem when your call goes to PBX via a VoIP connection, such as the caller may already hang up the phone but the PBX port is still active.
  • Page 84 To prevent this from happening, you are advised to do the following: 1) Restrict the right to use associated with the line. For example, if the line goes to an extension number associated with a PBX, ask the PBX manager to restrict this line from dialing to certain numbers.
