    Configuration A brief introduction to using the MX100-TG GUI can be found in Chapter 4 “Getting Started”. Detailed information on configuring the MX100-TG is contained in Chapter 5, “Configuring the MX100-TG”.
  • Page 22: Getting Started

    Always ground the MX100-TG through the protective earth lead of the power cable. Before applying AC power to the MX100-TG, verify that the main plug is inserted into a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact only. The protective action must not be negated by using an extension cord (power cable) without a protective conductor (grounding).
  • Page 23 Getting Started The MX100-TG does not have an on/off switch. Plug the MX100-TG power cord into an outlet. Connect the other end of the power cord to the back of the MX100-TG. The MX100-TG fans will start and the LED indicators will light.
  • Page 24: Understanding The Mx100-Tg Web-Gui

    The Web-GUI has been designed to be simple and intuitive. The Web-GUI automatically detects the hardware capability of the SGX- 100. For example, if the MX100-TG has capacity for two spans of T1/ E1, the Web-GUI will only show two T1/E1 interfaces (1 and 2) in the appropriate configuration screens.
  • Page 25 The administrator account has full permissions while the operator can not change network configurations, perform password management, or restore factory default settings. The MX100-TG allows multiple users to log on at the same time. The user with the highest privilege level is able to make changes and perform actions.

    First Digit Timeout(s) The First Digit Timeout value defines how long after SETUP event the MX100-TG will wait before treating the call as abandoned and RELEASE the call. The default value is 12 seconds. This is only applicable for second stage dialing.
  • Page 28: Dtmf Method

    The MX100-TG can support multiple codec simultaneously. Supported codec are shown in Table 2. Enter the value shown in Table 2 to configure the MX100-TG to use a particular codec for calls. To configure the support of multiple codec, enter them on one line separated by a comma (no spaces).

    5060. The value can be any setting so long as it isn’t used elsewhere. Proxy Proxy allows a SIP Proxy to be designated for the MX100-TG. The format of the Proxy is the address or domain name separated from the port number by a colon. Two examples of valid settings are: 202.202.2.202:5060...
  • Page 30: Registrar

    SIP Domain Name SIP Domain Name defines the domain name. If the SIP Domain Name is not configured, the MX100-TG will use the address of the SIP Proxy. The format of the SIP Registrar is the address or domain name separated from the port number by a colon.
  • Page 31: User Name

    By selecting Network from the main screen, the Network configuration screen is shown. Host Name The Host Name parameter allows giving the MX100-TG a name. For example, it could be set to “MX100-TG-3rdSt-NYNY”. Valid domain name characters and symbols are allowed.
  • Page 32: Dns

    Configuring the MX100-TG IP Address The IP Address parameter configures the IP address of the Ethernet port. The standard IP address format is accepted: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd. The default setting is: 192.168.2.240. Make sure this address is valid and accessible from where you are. An invalid setting will require a site-visit to recover remote access to the MX100-TG.
  • Page 33: Routing And Dialing Rule

    Configuring the MX100-TG The MX100-TG allows the entry of up to two NTP servers. The first entry will be used as the primary server and the second entry as the backup. Time Zone In Time Zone field select a proper time zone for the MX100 based on the region where it is installed.
  • Page 34: Routing Table

    Routing Table The Routing Table (shown in Figure 9) has two functions in the MX100-TG, digit translation and routing. Digit translation and routing can be applied to both directions of a call, either from IP or from the PSTN. If the Route Table is empty: Calls from IP addresses will select the first available (nonfull) T1/E1.

    The IP Table (shown in figure) is used to identify which SIP Server IP address(es) may use the MX100-TG. Addresses appearing in the table are allowed to use the MX100-TG. If the table is left empty then all addresses are allowed.
  • Page 40 PBX expansion: PBX1 => MX100-TG1 => IP => MX100-TG1002 => PBX2. Enable second stage dialing. When an ISDN 0x0004 call comes in, the MX100-TG will cut-through and play dial tone while collecting digits for further routing. This is used in calling card or PSTN-VoIP number bonding applications.
  • Page 41: Group Id

    Configuring the MX100-TG Setting Behavior 0x0020 This setting is used in conjunction with second stage dialing (0x0004). If configured, after digit collection the collected digits are attached to the original CPN and sent to the softswitch as the CDPN for further routing.

  • Page 48 When configured to Enable, the MX100-TG will change the UDP port when switching to T.38 mode. If T.38 Change Port is set to Disable the MX100-TG will reuse the RTP port number that was used in the creation of the connection.
  • Page 49: Sip Settings

    MX100-TG will use the default port 5060. Always Send 180 If this parameter is set to Enable, the MX100-TG will map all alerting messages (ALERTING with and without in-band indicator) to 180. An example of when this parameter would be Enabled is when an IAD does not support a 183 message.
  • Page 50 SDP. With a Disable setting the MX100-TG will send 180 messages without SDP. CODEC Using Local Config List If this parameter is set to Enable, the MX100-TG will use its local CODEC preference order. By default, MX100-TG will choose CODEC based on IAD’s preference order. Enable this flag in applications that require MX100-TG to choose CODEC based on its local preference order.
  • Page 51: Border Proxy

    This parameter controls whether the proxy information or domain name information (set in SIP Setting section) will be used by SIP <To>. If set to Enable, the MX100-TG will use the domain name information. If set to Disable, the MX100-TG will use the proxy information.
