The VoiceGATE GATEWAY provides voice/fax service over IP network with

H.323 v3 protocol. By connecting to your existing ADSL or cable modem

service, which allows the use of a single, network for voice and fax services

with consequent saving in network infrastructure and greatly reduced

telephone charges. Ideal solution for providing low cost communications

between headquarters and branch offices in the world, as well as for SOHO

and office telephony applications.

VoiceGATE GATEWAY provides analog lines to connect local PSTN/PTT

interface (FXO), and converts voice/fax signal onto IP network. The

management feature is via RS-232C COM port and TELNET.

For example, if your company’s IP address is 192.168.4.111, subnet mask is

255.255.0.0, default gateway is 192.168.1.254, you should prepare one IP for

Peer-to-Peer Mode allows users to call other VoIP devices without using a

gatekeeper. When in Peer-To-Peer mode, VoiceGATE GATEWAY will send SETUP

message directly to the destination IP address once the dial is finished. Users

have 2 methods of dial. One is IP dialing, and the other is Phonebook dial, which

we will describe later. When using IP address as destination phone number, press

“*” as “.” in IP address expression, and press “#” when dial is finished. When using

Phonebook, users can dial predefined phone number, and press “#” (optional, to

accelerate the dial) as end of dial.

To configure Peer-To-Peer Mode in VoiceGATE GATEWAY, follow the steps

below:

1. Set Peer-To-Peer Mode, using “h323” command

An example such as ADSL network is in the following.

LAN     LAN

VoiceGATE GATEWAY PC



The WAN IP Address obtained from ADSL has two kinds of methods.

One is fixed IP Address, while user applies for one or more fixed IP Addresses.

Another is dynamic IP Address while user applies for dial-up connection way. 



The LAN IP Address of User’s PC can be set as DHCP client in order to gain an valid

one.



Anther IP Address for VoiceGATE GATEWAY must be set as an fixed one in order for

that IP Sharing device pass forwarding the relevant information from WAN to LAN.

Besides, a valid IP Address which meets the IP Sharing device (LAN site) is the

element.



VoiceGATE GATEWAY must enable the IP Sharing function for the fixed / dynamic

WAN IP Address.

IP Sharing device must have a function to do IP/Port mapping. Some is named as DMZ,

some is named as virtual server. The VoIP messages from WAN have to completely

pass forward to the LAN. It is said if the VoiceGATE GATEWAY is assigned a virtual

fixed IP Address such as 192.168.1.5, IP Sharing device must forward the VoIP

messages to 192.168.1.5.

This application note is going to describe the procedures of configuring the

disconnect tone on VoiceGATE GATEWAY in order to release LINE ports of

VoiceGATE GATEWAY after PSTN/PBX caller party is hung up.

:KDWLV'LVFRQQHFW7RQH

A caller make a telephone call to Gateway from PSTN side, VoiceGATE

GATEWAY will answer the call automatically. If the IP side of other VoIP devices

do not answer the call and the caller hang up the call, the PSTN/PBX will give

Gateway a disconnect tone automatically. Or, both devices are installed with

VoiceGATE GATEWAY and connect to local PSTN. If both parties are in talk mode,

one side hang up the call the VoiceGATE GATEWAY has to recognize the

disconnect tone from local PSTN. The VoiceGATE GATEWAY gateway will

recognize this disconnect tone and release the LINE port with the pre-defined busy

tone or reorder tone from VoiceGATE GATEWAY tone table.

If the other VoIP device of IP side hangs up the phone, the gateway will release

the LINE port automatically without analyzing disconnect tone from PSTN/PBX.

There are three parameters received from PSTN/PBX.

- High level frequency and Low level frequency

- Tone Cadence (ON/OFF intervals)

- Tone level

These parameters have to be properly configured to VoiceGATE GATEWAY in

order to recognize disconnect tone correctly. Each different PSTN/PBX have

different parameters. So, VoiceGATE GATEWAY has to configure tone table when

LINE port connect to different PSTN/PBX.

VoiceGATE GATEWAY has a default setting of disconnect tone (Busy tone 1,

Busy tone 2, reorder tone 1 and reorder tone 2 ). If the disconnect tone was

recognized correctly, the LINE port from PSTN/PBX will be released in two

seconds. Otherwise it may be released after one minute or lock this LINE

permanently.

The tone table parameters are shown as follows.

LowFreq 480: Low frequency is 480 HZ

HighFreq 620: High frequency is 620 HZ

LowFreqLevel 8: Low frequency level received range from PSTN/PBX

HighFreqLevel 8: High frequency level received range from PSTN/PBX

TOn1 - 50: Disconnect tone cadence ON time is 0.5 seconds

TOff1 - 50: Disconnect tone cadence OFF time is 0.5 seconds

( If this is continuous tone, the Toff has to set to 1023 )

TOn2 - 1023: Disconnect tone second cycle cadence ON time is OFF

TOff2 - 1023: Disconnect tone second cycle cadence OFF time is OFF

( If the tone cadence has only one cycle, the second cycle must set to 1023 )

a. The first one is using command “greetrd” from VoiceGATE GATEWAY. Once

you follow the instruction to analyze the disconnect tone, Gateway will

configure the tone table (Busy tone 1, Busy tone 2, reorder tone 1 and reorder

tone 2 ) with proper frequency and default tone level and cadence (Ton1/Toff1)

automatically. Or you may read the analysis tone frequency from command line

and configure to one of tone table manually.

The default tone level is set to 8. And the tone cadence (Ton1/Toff1) is set to

four different values on tone table. They are 0.1 second, 0.25 seconds, 0.5

seconds and 0.75 seconds with parameters 10/10, 25/25, 50/50 and 75/75.

If the PBX/PSTN cadence is not the value as default shown as above, you

need to use the following instruction to analyze ON/OFF intervals.

b. You may use your PC (START Æ Program Files Æ Accessories Æ Multimedia

Æ Recorder) with Headset or Microphone to record the disconnect tone via a

telephone set from PSTN/PBX and save to a voice file. Then you can use

“CoolEdit Pro” software to analyze the frequency and ON/OFF time. Please visit

http://www.cooledit.com to download demo version for analysis. You can use this

program to analyze ON/OFF time and fill in to tone table.
