USER MANUAL TOPEX WEB INTERFACE description The WEB interface allows configuring the equipments comprise by Voxi family (VoiBridge, VoxiPlus), view real-time equipment state; manage services, editing users, etc. The interface offers the basic configuration tools for your equipment to work properly but also an advanced menu to use the equipment at full capacity.
The difference between these users is that the advanced user has access to some more configuration pages that need in depth knowledge of networking, routing and Topex specific elements. Generally, there will be no need to log in as advanced user; it will be used only for fine tuning and very specific things.
It doesn’t happen with the tabs in the right part of the menu bar, since they are just one-action buttons. The links in the right upper corner will help you to get in touch with Topex.
Web interface for Voxi family The Commit link This menu is a one action link, meaning that it doesn’t have a submenu, but executes the commit action by pressing the link. When the user makes some changes in equipment configuration, these changes are saved in a temporary memory.
USER MANUAL The System menu This menu allows configuring your access to the web interface and to the equipment. Here you can change the IP address of the equipment and your web password, as well as manage the configuration files. Password 3.3.1 In order to change the default password for web access, press the Pasword menu.
Web interface for Voxi family Tools 3.3.3 This page allows you to reboot the device, to restore the configuration to the default values and to download or upload the configuration files from the equipment. The main options are shown in the menu to the left: Restore to Default, Restore Last Configuration, Download Configuration and Restart System.
USER MANUAL 3.3.3.2 Restore Last Configuration This option restores the equipment state to the last committed configuration (committed configuration means the state of the configuration files saved by clicking the COMMIT button in the right part of the menu bar). 3.3.3.3 Download Configuration This option allows saving the configuration files from the equipment to your computer.

Though you may also add such routes from the SIP Users to VoIP routing page, this page will make this job easier for you. NOTE! You do not need any SIPUSER to SIPUSER route to make direct calls from one SIP User to another! But you need to define a route between SIP Users if you want to use such functions as...
Web interface for Voxi family You need to write a very specific prefix, so that this route does not overtake the traffic meant to another destination (for example if you write “f” in the “Prefix” text box, the interface will generate a route that says “Everything coming from SIP Users with any prefix goes to SIP Users“.
USER MANUAL Groups 3.7.2 This service is only active if you have SIP PBX installed. Here you can define the pick-up prefix and the hunting groups with its proprieties. The pick-up prefix will determine the number which the user dials to pick up a call comes in his pick-up group.
Web interface for Voxi family Each created group can be accessed with the Group Head Hunt Number from any incoming direction (with the mention that another overlapping or more specific route does not exist). For example, if a route “from GSM1 with any prefix goes to SIPUSERS” exists, it will be considered more specific than the route “from any direction with 904 prefix goes to mygroup”...
USER MANUAL NOTE! The email should be sent as plain text without authentication! First, define the prefixes attached to each GSM module.

Web interface for Voxi family Current Calls 3.8.2 This page shows the current calls. The calls are separated into proxy calls (the calls between local users) and the gateway calls (with outside participants). Both tables show the source and destination of calls, its durations (in seconds), the state of the calls, ip address of source and/or destination when relevant, the number of total calls, session id etc.
Topex specific concepts. The “Advanced” tab contains 5 pages that refer strictly to routing (Directions Name,...
Page 51
Web interface for Voxi family To ensure adequate routing of calls, you must assign one or more trunks to each direction. To add a new direction name, click the “edit” button on an empty entry (in this case, an empty entry means a row where the name of the direction is the same with its id number).
USER MANUAL 4.2 Directions (Class Settings) The “Directions” page offers the possibility to edit, add, and delete the directions (classes).

USER MANUAL Sign2 - contains 8 digits which will be fully used in further development. • Transit Q.850 ( 0x00000001)- is used to transfer the Q.850 termination code from the GSM link back on the E1-ISDN link. These Q.850 codes are available only for the Siemens GSM modules.
Page 57
Priority field (0x0ff00000) is useful in order to implement routes with the same prefix to have different priorities. For example - when a TOPEX softswitch is used to route calls to several TOPEX gateways - then each outgoing direction will have assigned a priority. The customer can assign higher priority to the machines with higher traffic capabilities and performances.
Page 58
USER MANUAL Sign4 contains 8 digits explained further: • Delay Answer (0x00000001)-Used for calls from GSM modules. If set, it will not answer to the call until the destination answers. In order to work DISA must be checked also in GSM port category.
