4.2. Connecting the Voice Gateway
T o avoid overheating problems, allow at least 3 centimeters (one inch) spacing between the ventilation holes and any object to either side of the unit.
Avoid any obstructions on the top of the unit. The top of the unit should be
at least 5 centimeters (two inches) from any obstruction. Connect the voice
gateway using the following steps:
1. Connect the Ethernet Cable from the WAN port of voice gateway to
the Internet access port. This Internet access port is a 10/100 BaseT
connection on a router, switch, or broadband devices, such as cable
modem or ADSL modem.
2. Connect the 10/100BaseT cable (RJ-45) from your computer to the
LAN port connector on the voice gateway rear panel (optional).
3. Connect the telephone line from your telephone to the P1–P4 (RJ-
11) connector on the rear panel.
4. Connect the AC adapter to multi-voltage input jack on the voice gateway rear panel. Then plug the AC adapter to a wall electrical outlet.

5. System Configuration
The Voice Gateway / Pocket Voice Gateway can be configured in many
ways such as using telnet, Web browser, telephone keypad, or SNMP control. Although there are many VoIP protocols, Voice Gateway currently supports H.323 protocol and MGCP protocol.
For H.323 protocol, it can support both version 2 and version 3.
For MGCP protocol, Voice Gateway can support most major profiles to
achieve maximum interoperability . This includes RFC standard profile (RFC
2705, MGCP 1.0), NCS standard profile (for Packet Cable, NCS 1.0), and
some proprietary profile (MGCP 0.1, NCS 1.0).
The following sections describe all methods for controlling Voice Gateway.
5.1. Console Control
This section describes how to set up the different operation modes or monitor
the performance of the Voice Gateway using the User Mode Console.
