H3C VG Series Voice Gateways Chapter 1

Introduction to VG

1-1

Chapter 1 Introduction to VG

H3C VG is a voice gateway device (hereinafter referred to as VG). It is developed by

Huawei-3Com Technology Co., Ltd. as a new generation of voice and fax access

equipment for various sectors and SOHO (small office and home office).

The VG is designed to access voice and fax signal, and convert the analog voice and

fax signal to digital signal, then packetize the digital signal into IP packets, and send the

IP packets to the IP network through an Ethernet interface at the network side.

Additionally, some models, such as VG 10-40/10-41, can implement broadband access

of digital service, and provide an Ethernet interface at the user side to connect a PC or

a LAN.

The VG is cost-effective, for it integrates various IP telephone features, such as voice

over IP (VoIP), fax over IP (FoIP), call control, resource management, and

maintenance management, provides multiple coding/decoding modes, and supports

dynamic address acquisition.

The VG is compliant with H.323 of ITU-T and guarantees quality of voice and fax data

transmission over the IP network through high-performance DSP chips,

coding/decoding algorithms with a high compression ratio, echo cancellation, mute

compression, comfortable noise, jitter prevention, and relevant security and QoS

features.

The VG supports fast and non-fast connection to implement outband transmission of

the DTMF (dual tone multifrequency) code and provide busy tone detection,

abbreviated dialing, private lines, outgoing prefix, and some special services of

program-controlled switch (such as do-not-disturb, call forward on busy, alarm call, and

multi-line group access).

At present, the VG provides Ethernet interfaces to connect with LAN and WAN, and

FXS (foreign exchange station) interfaces and FXO (foreign exchange office) interfaces

to connect with ordinary telephone sets or PBX (private branch exchange).

Apart from providing SOHO users with IP telephone and fax services, the VG can

implement simultaneous transmission of voice and data by connecting with LAN

through Ethernet interfaces and thus make better use of the resources.

Chapter 2 Getting Started with Configuration

2.1 Connecting Hardware

For a VG with two Ethernet interfaces:

The default IP address of the WAN interface is 192.168.192.1, with a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0.

The default IP address of the LAN interface is 192.168.193.1, with a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0.

For a VG with only one Ethernet interface:

The default IP address of the ETH interface is 192.168.192.1, with a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0.

Connect the Ethernet interface WAN or ETH with a PC through a network, and

configure the IP address of the PC on the same network segment as the default IP

address of the VG, and use the ping command to check the connection between the

VG and PC.

 Note:

Users can modify the IP address of an Ethernet interface through Web configuration.

Once the IP address is modified, the default IP address will be deleted automatically.

2.2 First Login

Open the explorer (IE5.0 or later recommended) and input the IP address

192.168.192.1 in the address bar. Press <Enter>, and a language selection page will

Web-based Configuration Manual

H3C VG Series Voice Gateways Chapter 2

Getting Started with Configuration

2-3

2.3.2 List Display Page

Figure 2-3 The list display page

The list display page consists of three parts: navigation bar, data display area and

operation button bar.

I. Navigation bar

The navigation bar is located at the uppermost part of the configuration area and used

to navigate to the data you want to view. Click the drop-down list box at the top left

corner to adjust the number of data displayed on each page. If one page cannot display

all data, you can turn to another page by clicking <<<Previous> or <Next>>> at the top

right corner.

II. Data display area

The data display area is located in the middle of the configuration area and displays the

content of data in a table.

z The first column of the table is a check box for deletion option. If the check box is

grey, it indicates you cannot delete this entry.

z On the last column is a property setting button . Press this button to enter the

page for setting the properties of the current data. A user can both view details of

the data on this page and modify some of properties (refer to the section

2.3.3

“Configuration Item Page”). If this column is not available in the table, it means the

data in the table cannot be modified. If a data entry has no modification button, it

means this data entry cannot be modified.

z The other columns of the table display the data information.

III. Operation button bar

The operation button bar is located at the bottom of the configuration area. The list

display page supports the following operations:

<Select All>: Selects all the data entries displayed in the current page for the purpose of

deletion. Once clicked, the button will change automatically to <Cancel All> for

Web-based Configuration Manual

H3C VG Series Voice Gateways Chapter 2

Getting Started with Configuration

2-4

canceling selection of all the entries. When <Cancel All> is clicked, the button will

return to <Select All> automatically.

<Del Select>: Deletes the selected data entry (entries). If no data entry is selected, a

dialogue box will pop up to prompt you to select a data entry.

<Refresh>: Asks the VG for the latest data of the current page.

2.3.3 Configuration Item Page

The third type of page is a property setting page, which displays in a table the

properties you need to set as well as their related information. You can use the input

box or drop-down list box to set the properties. This kind of page is usually used to

create, modify and view property configuration.

Figure 2-4 The configuration item page

A property setting page consists of two parts: property setting table and operation

button bar.

I. Property setting table

A property setting table contains four columns:

The first one indicates the name of the property.

Web-based Configuration Manual

H3C VG Series Voice Gateways Chapter 2

Getting Started with Configuration

2-5

The second one is a column for inputting a value for the property. There are two means

available for inputting a property value: direct typing in a text box and selecting from a

drop box.

In some cases two properties are associated. For example, when property A is

configured, property B will be made invalid. In such a case, the setting page will perform

an automatic check when A is being configured. If A is configured with a value that will

make B invalid, the setting page will hide B automatically or turn the input box of B into

a disabled state (in grey), making it impossible for a user to input a value.

Besides, for some complex properties, such as the fax service property of the POTS

(plain old telephone service) entity, a hyperlink is provided in the input column. Users

can click this hyperlink to enter the configuration page.

Caution:

Except the “Voice Subscriber Line Description Information”, no data can contain “?”,

space or two-byte character (such as Chinese), or the system will display an error

prompt.

The third column describes the range of the property values. This description consists

of two parts. The first part indicates the type of data you can input, including digital and

string. The second part specifies the size of data. It refers to a length when a string is

input and a range when digitals are input. For the string type, if it is 0, it means you are

allowed not to input any value for this property. Numbers [1-10] means that you must

input a number from 1 to 10 inclusively.

The fourth column is a link for detailed help information about the property. Click the

help icon

in this column to bring up the current property information.

II. Operation button bar

The operation button bar is located at the bottom of the configuration area. The

property setting page supports the following operations:

<Execute>: Submits the configuration data of the current page to the Web server (VG).

Web-based Configuration Manual

H3C VG Series Voice Gateways Chapter 2

Getting Started with Configuration

2-6

Caution:

z Check the validity of each property value before submission.

z If an invalid property value is input, the system will display alarm information, and

the data will not be submitted for processing.

z If an error occurs when the VG is performing configuration, an error prompt page will

appear to indicate the cause, but the valid data submitted simultaneously are still

processed as usual.

z If the configuration is successful, it will return to the previous page of the current

configuration node (if there is no previous page, the current page remains.) For

example, after the POTS entity is configured successfully, it will return to the POTS

entity list display page. If global configuration of voice is successful, it will return to

the page for global configuration of voice, because this page has no previous page.

<Reset>: Cancels the modification made by the user to the values in the property input

box or drop-down list box.

<Refresh>: Asks the VG for the latest data of this current page. A configuration

modification page contains this button, while a newly created page does not.

<Return>: Returns to the previous page.

Caution:

z A list display page, property setting page and configuration error alarm page support

return operation, which means to return to the previous page.

z The page classifications and descriptions above are applicable to most pages, but

some special pages, such as a configuration wizard page, may be a little different

from what have been described. Please refer to the description of specific pages.
