Quick Installation Guide 3.1.4 Searching for ini file Parameters The Embedded Web Server provides a search engine that allows you to search any ini file parameter that is configurable using the Embedded Web Server. The search result provides you with a link to the relevant Web page in which the parameter appears. You can search for a specific parameter (e.g., 'EnableIPSec') or a sub-string of that parameter (e.g., 'sec').
Assigning an IP Address to the MediaPack If the gateway's default IP address (refer to Office Communications Server 2007 is installed, you can assign a different IP address to the gateway, using one of the following methods: BootP (refer to Section Command Line Interface (CLI) using the RS-232 interface (refer to Section Gateway's HTTP-based Embedded Web Server (refer to Section DHCP (refer to the gateway's User’s Manual)
Quick Installation Guide Use the gateway's chassis reset button to physically reset the gateway, causing it to use BootP; the gateway changes its network parameters to the values provided by BootP. 3.2.2 Assigning an IP Address Using CLI via RS-232 You can assign an IP address to the gateway using CLI by establishing a serial connection between your PC and the gateway.
3.2.3 Assigning an IP Address using HTTP You can assign an IP address to the gateway using the gateway's Embedded Web Server (based on HTTP), by connecting the gateway to a PC with a direct, local Ethernet connection. To assign an IP address to the gateway using HTTP, take these 5 steps: Connect your PC to the gateway by performing the following: Disconnect the gateway from the network and reconnect it to your PC using one of the following methods:...
Quick Installation Guide Configure the gateway's ‘IP Address’, ‘Subnet Mask’, and ‘Default Gateway IP Address’ fields to correspond with your network IP settings of Office Communications Server 2007. Click the Reset button, and then at the prompt, click OK; the gateway applies the changes and restarts.
Notes: • Ensure that you download the correct ini file so that your gateway is configured correctly for interoperability with the deployed PBX / PSTN. • The gateway configuration for the PBX-Sends-Digits option is similar to the One-to-Many option. Therefore, for the PBX-Sends-Digits option, download the ini file for the One-to-Many option.
Quick Installation Guide Click the Browse button, and then navigate to the folder that contains the ini file you want to upload. Select the file, and then click the Open button; the name and path of the file appear in the field beside the Browse button.
3.3.2 Using the Embedded Web Server You can use the gateway's user-friendly, Web interface (described in Section configure the advanced parameters listed below: IP address of Mediation Server (refer to Section Number of FXO ports connected to the PBX (refer to Section Voice coders (refer to Section Numbers translation (normalization) from/to E.164 format using Manipulation tables for PBX / PSTN connectivity -- depends on deployment dial plan (refer to Section...
Page 21
Quick Installation Guide To define Mediation Server's IP address, take these 4 steps: Open the ‘Proxy & Registration' screen (Protocol Management menu > Protocol Definition > Proxy & Registration). From the 'Enable Proxy' drop-down list, select 'Use Proxy'. This allows Mediation Server to act as a proxy server.
The gateway's FXO port (located on the rear panel), interfaces with the PBX. By default, all the gateway's FXO ports (eight for the MP-118; four for the MP-114) are enabled. However, if for any reason the ports (endpoints) are disabled, you can enable them by performing the procedure below.
Quick Installation Guide 3.3.2.3 Defining Voice Coders The gateway communicates with Mediation Server using either the G.711 A-law or G.711 µ-law coder. You can change the default coder using the gateway's Embedded Web Server. To define the coder, take these 3 steps: Open the ‘Coders' screen (Protocol Management menu >...

To configure the Number Manipulation tables, take these 4 steps: Open the Number Manipulation screen you want to configure (Protocol Management menu > Manipulation Tables); the relevant Manipulation table screen is displayed. The figure below shows the ‘Source Phone Number Manipulation Table for Tel IP calls’. Figure 3-12: Source Phone Number Manipulation Table for Tel IP Calls In the ‘Table Index’...
Quick Installation Guide Table 3-3: Number Manipulation Parameters Description Parameter Description Source IP address of the call (obtained from the Contact header in the INVITE message). Source IP (Applicable only to the Note: The source IP address can include the ‘x’ wildcard to represent single digits. For ‘Destination Phone example: 10.8.8.xx represents all the addresses between 10.8.8.10 to 10.8.8.99.
3.3.2.4.2 Number Normalization Examples Two examples are provided below for number normalization. The examples are based on the following assumptions: a PBX with prefix (local) number 333 and a 4-digit extension number that begins with the digit 1 (i.e., 1xxx); National area code 206; International code 1. Modifying E.164 Numbers to PBX Format for Outbound Calls: Outbound calls refer to calls made by Office Communications Server 2007 users (OCS clients) connected through IP to the Office Communications Server 2007.
Quick Installation Guide Modifying PBX, Local, and National Calls to E.164 Format for Inbound Calls: Inbound calls refer to calls received by OCS clients connected through IP to the Office Communications Server 2007. Local calls from the PBX or PSTN: the PBX user only dials a 4-digit extension number of the OCS client (e.g., 1220).
3.3.2.5 Defining Answer Supervision When there is a call from Office Communications Server 2007 to the gateway, the gateway behavior depends on whether or not the Answer Supervision feature is enabled. If Answer Supervision is enabled, the gateway detects (by speech detection) when the called party answers the call (i.e., if the called party says “hello”...
Quick Installation Guide 3.3.2.6 Defining Automatic Dialing When using the One-to-One option, each PBX line that is connected to an FXO port serves one OCS client. You must define automatic dialing for each FXO port connected to the OCS client. To define Automatic Dialing, take these 4 steps: Open the ‘Automatic Dialing’...
3.3.2.7 Enabling Caller ID If the Caller ID service is enabled, the gateway detects the Caller ID signal from the Tel side (PBX / PSTN) and sends it to Mediation Server over IP in the SIP INVITE message. Therefore, to allow the OCS clients to receive caller ID, enable the Caller ID service at the gateway.
Quick Installation Guide 3.3.2.8 Defining SIP Transport Type The procedure below describes how to configure the SIP transport type. You may need to change the gateway's SIP transport type from UDP (default) to TCP, since this is the transport type used by Mediation Server.
3.3.2.9 Defining Disconnect on Broken Connection The procedure below describes how to configure the Disconnect on Broken Connection parameter. Since Mediation Server uses Silence Suppression, it may not send Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) packets during the detection of silence in the call. To avoid call disconnection by the gateway (due to RTP packets not being transmitted), you may need to disable the parameter 'Disconnect on Broken Connection'.
Quick Installation Guide 3.3.2.10 Defining DTMF Payload Type The procedure below describes how to define the dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) payload type. The DTMF payload type used by Mediation Server is 101. You may need to set this value at the gateway as well. To define the DTMF payload type, take these 3 steps: Open the ‘DTMF &...
3.3.2.11 Enabling One-Stage Dialing One-stage dialing is when the gateway receives an IP-to-Tel call, off-hooks the PBX line connected to the PBX / PSTN telephone, and then immediately dials the destination telephone number. In other words, the OCS client (i.e., IP caller) doesn't dial the PSTN number upon hearing a dial tone.
Quick Installation Guide 3.3.2.12 Defining Channel Select Mode Channel select modes determine the method in which new IP-to-Tel calls (i.e., calls from OCS clients to PBX/PSTN phones) are assigned to gateway ports (i.e., channels). It is recommended to select the Cyclic Ascending mode, which selects the next available channel in an ascending cycle order.
3.3.2.13 Disabling RTCP Attribute By default, the RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) attribute (EnableRTCPAttribute) is enabled. However, you need to disable it by using the AdminPage of the Embedded Web Server. To disable the RTCP attribute, take these 5 steps: In the Web browser's URL field, append the case-sensitive suffix ‘AdminPage’ to the IP address (e.g., http://10.1.229.17/AdminPage).
Quick Installation Guide Backing Up Configuration Settings Once you have modified configuration settings, it is recommended you make a backup of the modified configuration file. This is done by saving the modified ini configuration file to a folder on your PC. If you lose your gateway's configuration settings, you can always use this backed up ini file to restore them.
