About the IP Gateway (IP GW)  
The IP GW is a voice and video gateway that allows calls to be made between pairs of  
IP endpoints that cannot normally connect directly to each other. A second Ethernet  
port allows for connections between two completely independent networks of  
endpoints. A built-in auto attendant and support for manual operators allow easy  
connection of calls where a caller cannot directly address the destination endpoint.  
The IP GW translates call signalling (for example, between SIP and H.323) and can  
connect between almost any two endpoints. The IP GW can transcode all media to  
ensure the call takes place.

Connecting the IP GW  
Before you start  
IMPORTANT: Before installing the IP GW, you must read the safety  
Step one: Connect power  
Connect the power connector on the rear of the unit to the power supply using the  
supplied power cable. (There is no On/Off switch.)  
Connecting power causes the Power LED to light blue and when the IP GW has  
booted (which can take up to two minutes), the Status LED will light green.  
Step two: Connect to Ethernet Ports A and B  
Connect an Ethernet cable from Ethernet Port A to an Ethernet switch (rather than a  
hub, to minimize interference from other devices on the network). The Ethernet  
port is a 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing connection.  
Connect Port A to your local network and connect Port B to a second subnet or the  
internet depending on your application of the IP GW.  
Do not connect Ethernet Port A and Ethernet Port B to the same subnet.

Ensure power is connected to the IP GW and the Status LED is green.  
Connect the console port of the IP GW to the serial port of your PC using the  
blue RJ45 to DB9 cable supplied.

Use a serial terminal program, such as SecureCRT or HyperTerminal, to  
connect to the IP GW. Set your terminal software to the following settings:  
 
 
 
 
 
Baud rate:  
Data bits:  
Parity:  
Stop bits:  
Flow control: none  
38400  
8
none

4
Press Enter. The following command prompt appears on the terminal: IPGW:>  
Step two: Configure Ethernet Port A  
The default setting for the IP GW Ethernet ports is auto-sensing mode. If the switch  
ports to which you connect the IP GW are not also set to auto-sensing mode, then  
you need to configure the IP GW Ethernet ports to use the same speed and duplex  
mode.  
Both ends of the Ethernet connection must be configured in the same  
way. For example, either configure both ends of the link to be auto-  
sensing or configure both ends to operate at the same speed and duplex.  
i
To establish a 1000Mbps connection, both ends of the link must be  
configured as auto-sensing.  
i
To configure Ethernet Port A, enter the following for auto-sensing mode:  
ethertype auto  
or to configure a speed and duplex, use the following command:  
ethertype <10|100> <half|full>  
For example, to configure a full-duplex 100Mbps link, enter:  
ethertype 100 full  
To display the current configuration and status of the Ethernet ports, enter:  
status  
5
 
     
Step three: Assign an IP address to Port A  
The default setting for the IP GW is to use DHCP to obtain an IP address for Port A.  
You can assign a static IP address if you prefer or if a DHCP server is not available.  
If you want the IP address of the IP GW to be assigned by your DHCP server, omit  
this step.  
To assign a static IP address, use the following command:  
static <IP address> <netmask> <default gateway address>  
<DNS server address>  
If you do not have a DNS server, use 0.0.0.0 as the DNS server IP  
address.  
i
For example, to assign an address of 192.168.1.2 where the default gateway is at  
192.168.1.1, and there is no DNS server, enter:  
static 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0  
To return to using DHCP after setting a static address, use the following  
command:  
dhcp  
Step four: Discover the IP address of the IP GW  
1
To display the current status of the IP address, enter: status  
If you have DHCP enabled on your network and you are allowing the IP GW to  
acquire its address using DHCP, the IP address that has been acquired by  
Ethernet Port A will be shown; if you have assigned a static IP address, that is the  
address that will be shown.  
2
Make a note of the IP address. You will use this to access the web interface of the  
unit.

Configuring the IP GW  
Configuring the IP GW  
Step one: Log in to the IP GW  
All administration of the IP GW is performed through the web interface.  
To log in to the web interface of the IP GW:  
1
Use your browser to navigate to the IP address of the IP GW (to discover the IP  
address, refer to the previous section).  
2
Click Click here to log in, and then click Change log in and enter the user name  
adminwith no password.  
Codian recommends that you change the admin account to use a  
password as soon as possible. To do that, go to Users, click the admin  
i
link, and provide the required user information.  
Step two: Configure Ethernet Port B settings (optional)  
Port B is configured through the web interface.  
The default setting for the IP GW Ethernet ports is auto-sensing mode. If the switch  
ports to which you connect the IP GW are not also set to auto-sensing mode, then  
you need to configure the IP GW Ethernet ports to use the same speed and duplex  
mode.  
Both ends of the Ethernet connection must be configured in the same  
way. For example, either configure both ends of the link to be auto-  
sensing or configure both ends to operate at the same speed and duplex.  
i
i
To establish a 1000Mbps connection, both ends of the link must be  
configured as auto-sensing.

2
To configure Ethernet Port B, go to Network > Port B.  
Enter the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS name server for the  
port.  
3
4
Enter a secondary name server and domain name if required.  
Click Update IP configuration.  
7
 
     
Step three: Configure the default gateway and routes  
(optional)  
If the networks to which you connect contain more than one subnet, you might need  
to change the default gateway preference on the IP GW (default setting is Port A).  
You might also need to add routes to the configuration of the IP GW to indicate  
which interface will be used for certain IP addresses.  
To configure the default gateway and route information:  
Log in to the IP GW and go to Network > Routes.  
For more information about route configuration, refer to the online help topic:  
“Configuring IP routes settings”.  
Step four: Configure an H.323 gatekeeper or SIP registrar  
(optional)  
If you have H.323 endpoints, using an H.323 gatekeeper can make it easier for callers  
to make their call. You can configure the IP GW to use an external gatekeeper or its  
own built-in gatekeeper.  
If you have SIP endpoints, using a SIP registrar can make it easier for callers to make  
their call.  
To configure the use of an H.323 gatekeeper, go to Settings > H.323  
To configure the use of a SIP registrar, go to Settings > SIP  
For more information refer to the online help topics: “Configuring H.323 settings”  
and “Configuring SIP settings”.

Configuring the IP GW  
Step five: Configure the auto attendant menus (optional)  
Depending on the proposed configuration of your dial plan, and the settings for failed  
calls, callers can be connected to an auto attendant menu. The IP GW provides a  
highly flexible menu-creation feature. This enables you to create a menu (or a multi-  
layered menu structure) to provide end users with the options they require when  
they connect to the IP GW. Menus can provide end users with access to videos,  
operators, address books, dial-it-yourself functions, and audio files.  
To configure auto attendant menus, go to Menus > Menu builder  
For more information, refer to the online help topics: “Creating auto attendant  
menus”, “Configuring failed call settings”, and “Understanding the dial plan”.  
Step six: Configure an operator (optional)  
An operator is a person who can put calls through on the IP GW. You can use the dial  
plan to automatically connect calls to an operator, you can have the operator as an  
option on an auto attendant menu, and connection to an operator is an option for  
failed calls. An operator connects the calls one by one as calls reach the top of the  
operator's call queue which is displayed on the operator’s web page and is  
automatically refreshed.  
An operator can put calls through to configured endpoints and call groups that have  
been given names in the system, or to any other endpoint by manually entering the  
IP address or E.164 number of the endpoint.  
You can configure one or more operators.  
To configure an operator, go to Settings > Operator  
For more information, refer to the online help topics: “Understanding operator  
features” and “Configuring operator settings”.  
9
 
   
Step seven: Add endpoints and call groups (optional)  
You can pre-configure a list of endpoints on the IP GW. For these endpoints, an  
operator or caller can simply choose the endpoint's name from an onscreen address  
book, rather than having to type in the endpoint's address when a caller wants to be  
connected to that endpoint.  
You can group configured endpoints into call groups. When a call group receives a  
call, all endpoints in the call group will ring and the first to be answered will take the  
call. Call groups can be useful in organizations that have, for example, sales or  
support teams where anyone from the team can take a call. An operator or caller can  
choose a call group to which to connect an incoming call from the address book.  
When you configure endpoints and call groups, you can select whether or not that  
endpoint or call group will be shown in the address book. Callers can connect to that  
endpoint, without the caller having to know its address.  
To configure endpoints and call groups, go to Endpoints  
For more information, refer to the online help topics: “Configuring endpoints” and  
“Configuring call groups”.  
Step eight: Configure the dial plan  
The default behavior of the IP GW is to reject all calls. You must configure a dial plan  
to allow permitted calls to be placed. The dial plan is in two parts: a dial plan for calls  
arriving on Port A and a dial plan for calls arriving on Port B.  
There are a number of different ways in which you can use the dial plan. For  
example, you can configure a particular prefix that will forward calls to the operator  
and another to connect callers to the auto attendant.  
To configure the dial plan, go to Dial plan  
Dial plan configuration (with supporting examples) is explained in greater detail in  
the online help; refer to the topics: “Understanding the dial plan”, “Adding and  
updating dial plan rules”, “Example dial plan rules”, “Dial plan syntax”, and  
“Displaying and testing the dial plan”.

Troubleshooting and technical support information  
Using the event log to help solve a problem  
Unless you are experiencing a problem, all event logging sources should be set to the  
default, which is Errors, warnings and information. For more information about  
configuring the event log, refer to the online help accessible from the web interface.  
You can use the event log to produce debugging information to assist technical  
support in solving your problem. However, we recommend that you only alter the  
setting of the event log under the guidance of technical support. In particular, you  
should not turn on event logging sources without good cause or advice from  
technical support.  
Increasing logging can degrade system performance.
