    Devices The devices discovered in the initial setup process are displayed in the Devices windows with the option to manually add additional phones that may not be already connected to the system. The option to add SPA8800 FXO gateways is also available in this page.
  • Page 24: Pbx/Key System

    PBX/Key System The PBX/Key System menu option allows the administrator to determine how the UC320W handles shared FXO lines. Curious administrators should consult the online help system for a detailed explanation. The vast majority of Cbeyond customers should select the default “Blend” mode which offers the features of both PBX and Key systems.
  • Page 25: Day/Night Features

    Day/Night Features The Day/Night Features window allows the administrator to configure how incoming calls are handled at different times of the day and night. The default setting is to enable a simple automated attendant all the time and to use the same call routing plan all the time.
  • Page 26: Internal Dialing

    Internal Dialing The Internal Dialing window lets the administrator configure the first basic elements of the UC320W dial plan. The default settings were accepted for purposes of this document, as an example only. The online help system may be consulted for explanations of how to use the various options.
  • Page 27: Music

    Music The music task allows the administrator to determine when music on hold (MoH) is played out to a device. The administrator can also select the source of the MoH. Installers should note that the extension selected for the MoH should match the extension listed in the previous “Internal Dialing”...

  • Page 30: Line (Fxo) Ports

    Line (FXO) Ports UC320W has four (4) FXO ports that can be used with LEC POTS lines for inbound and outbound calling. Cbeyond customers who leverage Cbeyond’s integrated voice and data service, which is delivered through a Cisco IAD or ISR, do generally not use these.
  • Page 31: Fxs Ports

    FXS Ports UC320W also has an FXS port that can be used for something like a Fax machine or modem line. The FXS Ports window allows the installer to enable or disable the port. If enabled, it will also require the assignment of an extension later in the configuration.
  • Page 32: Sip/Bri Configuration

    DIDs purchased. A 12-line service, for example, would set “call capacity” to 12. Note that the licensed features of the UC320W itself must permit setting the call capacity to what has been purchased from Cbeyond. In other words, an 8-line UC320W will not support a 12-line Cbeyond service.
  • Page 33 “main number” of the customer. Password: Provide in Cbeyond’s initial setup documentation, this is the password required to authenticate the customer’s UC320W to Cbeyond’s SIP proxy server. SRV Record Lookup: Should be checked. SRV Auto Prefix: Should be left unchecked.
  • Page 34 NAT Mapping should be left unchecked in a “basic” Cbeyond installation where the Cbeyond IAD is the next hop for the UC320W. Installers should reference the online help for details about this option but it essentially enables a SIP ALG, requiring a static IP address for the purposes of NAT and allowing STUN server configuration.
  • Page 35 With the Systemwide SIP Parameters section selected, the administrator may select between codes and Fax relay options. For Cbeyond’s service the default G.711ulaw and passthrough should be accepted, respectively. Next will take the installer to the last task for configuring trunks:...
  • Page 36: Outbound Trunks

    Outbound Trunks The Outbound Trunks window should only be used by installers who are configuring redundant SIP or FXO trunks to multiple providers. This configuration option will be rare for Cbeyond’s customers who should refer to the online help system or documentation on CCO for details on this configuration task. Clicking Next will continue to the section summary:...
  • Page 37: Summary

    Summary The Summary window displays the trunking options selected in the previous steps. Back allows corrections and Next will continue to the next configuration task:...
  • Page 38: Users/Phones

    Users/Phones The next section of the configuration tool is Users/Phones, where users and phones are defined and associated with each other. Clicking Next will continue:...
  • Page 39: Users

    Users Each of the users of the UC320W telephones should be defined in this task. Manual, interactive, user creation can be assisted with the clipboard icon located over the Voicemail column. Bulk user export/imports can be accomplished with the Download (CSV) and Import (CSV) icons, respectively. The use of these buttons is detailed in the online help system for the UC320W.
  • Page 40: Assign Phones

    Assign Phones The Assign Phones task is the step in the configuration of the UC320W when physical IP phones discovered by the system, or added in the Updates/IP Phones task, are associated with User extensions. The task is relatively self-explanatory and online help can be referenced as well..
  • Page 41: Users/Phones Summary

    Users/Phones Summary The Users/Phones Summary screen simply presents a count of the number of users, assigned phones, and applied licenses. Clicking Next will advance to the detailed phone configuration section.
  • Page 42: Extension Buttons

    Extension Buttons This section of the configuration Wizard provides the installer the option to assign additional lines, shared extensions...
  • Page 43: Shared Fxo Lines

    Shared FXO Lines Cbeyond SIPconnect customers generally do not employ FXO trunks. Online help may be consulted for those cases where an FXO line must be configured:...
  • Page 44: Share Extensions

    Share Extensions Share extensions are of interest to SIPconnect configuration mainly from the standpoint, again, of knowing what needs to be referenced when placing calls and also in the dial plan configuration that will take place later in the process. Assigning shared extensions if straightforward.
  • Page 45: Additional Extensions

    As the title suggests, this window allows the assignment of additional local extensions to a user. Note that assigning additional extensions and voicemail boxes to a users consumes licensed resources on the UC320W. Installers should reference the online help system for additional guidance.
  • Page 46: Summary

    Summary Extension Buttons Summary simply presents a summary accounting of the assignments made in this of the configuration. Clicking Back will allow corrections. Next continues the configuration:...
  • Page 47: Call Routing

    Call Routing The call routing section is largely unimportant to SIPconnect configuration except for the Inbound Calls section where Cbeyond DIDs are mapped to local extensions. Other sections are optional, depend on customer requirements, and fall outside of SIPconnect requirements. These will not be shown in this document:...
  • Page 48: Call Paging

    Call Paging Call paging allows definition of a paging system for the UC320W.
  • Page 49: Hunt Groups

    Hunt Groups Hunt Groups allows for the definition of hunt groups of users of the UC320W. Note that using Hunt groups for inbound calls will consume DIDs when they are assigned to the local hunt group extensions:...
  • Page 50: Auto Attendant

    Auto Attendant The Auto Attendant task allows for detailed AA configuration. This is outside of the scope of SIPconnect configuration. Installers should reference the online help system:...
  • Page 51: Inbound Calls

    These Phone Numbers portion of the Inbound Calls screen. The default setting is for the UC320W to send all calls inbound on the DIDs to the AA. This is the “Default Route” for the calls.
  • Page 52 In the example system used for testing UC320W for Cbeyond, 3 DIDs are assigned to a test account that was applied to the test unit. The first DID, shown in the screenshot below, is 678-397-2544. This is the “main number” that is used to authenticate the SIP trunk and in this example remains assigned to the AA for general inbound calls.
  • Page 53 Clicking the Move button next to DID 678-397-2546 likewise creates a new Routing Group that can be labeled “Jane Doe”. The Ring drop down can then be used to select “Jane Doe (102)” as the extension to map to incoming calls to DID 678-397- 2546.
  • Page 54: Call Routing Summary

    Call Routing Summary The Call Routing Summary page displays the choices and routing assignments made in the Call Routing section of the configuration Wizard. Clicking Next leads to the Site Summary screen.
  • Page 55: User/Group Features

    User/Group Features This section addresses additional user and telephone-level tasks, including Directory configuration, that do not fall in the scope of SIPconnect configuration and are presented only for the sake of completion:...

  • Page 61: Network

    Network Network configuration is the final task of the configuration tool.
  • Page 62: Topology

    Topology The Topology screen again presents the options for determining where DHCP services are offered in the network and whether UC320W acts as a router for voice traffic only. The vast majority of Cbeyond UC320W customers will choose the first option where “UC320W Routes Voice and Data”.
  • Page 63: Wan

    The WAN configuration task allows the installer to select the upstream bandwidth that will be available from Cbeyond, which are generally increments of T1s. A static IP address can also be assigned to the UC320W, which is recommended, and the UC320W’s DNS domain name can be defined here:...
  • Page 64: Lan

    The LAN task allows the installer to manage the IP address ranges used for voice and data in the customer’s LAN, including the DHCP server assignments. These should be assigned as appropriate for the customer’s environment:...
  • Page 65: Wireless

    Wireless UC320W supports a wireless LAN interface that may be enabled for separate data and voice networks. Curious administrators should reference the online help system for details on how wireless services can be configured:...
  • Page 66: Port Forwarding

    Port Forwarding In its role as a router, NATing between LAN and WAN interfaces, the UC320W also acts as a perimeter security device with firewalling enabled. The Port Forwarding screen of the UC320W Configuration Utility allows the administrator an opportunity to expose specific application ports to the “outside”...
  • Page 67: Summary

    Summary The Summary for the Network section displays the choices that have been made:...
