The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway

The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway is a dual-port ISDN unit that is designed to perform signalling and
service reconciliation between two unlike ISDN signalling systems.

It typically gets deployed to attach the following:

OL-19276-01

Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway User Guide

1-1

The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway

• A QSIG (or DPNSS) PBX to a DPNSS (or QSIG) network, or

• A number of DPNSS PBXs to a QSIG or Q.931 backbone network (VoIP or ATM, for example), or

• A DPNSS PBX to a Q.931-based Public ISDN service (such as ISDN 30e).

When you are attaching a QSIG (or DPNSS) PBX to a DPNSS (or QSIG) network, Cisco VG30D Voice
Gateway provides seamless service interworking between the attached PBX and other PBXs in the
network, including inter-operation of most of the commonly used services.

Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway facilitates basic call interworking, including simple services such as
calling and connected identity when attaching a number of DPNSS PBXs to a QSIG or Q.931 backbone
network, or a DPNSS PBX to a Q.931-based Public ISDN service.

In addition, when attaching a number of DPNSS PBXs to a QSIG backbone network, the, Cisco VG30D
Voice Gateway can transport DPNSS signalling across the network and deliver it practically
transparently through a similar InterChange unit to a remote DPNSS PBX. In this mode, all DPNSS
Supplementary Services get supported apart from some link-specific Traffic Channel maintenance
services.

Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway supports 2 E1 Primary Rate [2 Mbit/s (30B + D) Common Channel
Signalling] interfaces; providing a single Primary Rate conversion. The unit has been designed to be
installed on a 19-inch rack. It is particularly suited for use in Customer Premises Environments (CPE)
to interface equipment into Virtual Private Networks.

Figure 1-1 shows DPNSS PBXs interconnected across a QSIG network. In this configuration, the

combination of InterChange units and the network behave as a single DPNSS transit node and transports
DPNSS supplementary signalling.

Conversions operate on the common signalling channel only. Bearer circuits get passed directly through
the unit. You can configure each protocol support to meet specific application needs.

You can configure the Virtual Private Network protocol support to operate into sub-equipped ISDN
trunks, which allows the user to maximise the benefits of the advantageous Primary Rate ISDN tariffs
now that are being offered by some PTOs.

The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway also provides some additional facilities:

• The ability to perform diversions on behalf of the PBX

• Support for the Q.932 redirecting number element for diversion

• Custom configuration for Cisco Unified Communications Manager and other PBXs

• The ability to display DPNSS Message Waiting Indications on telephones that are controlled by

P1 and P2

The two amber Port LEDs are labelled P1 and P2. Together with the STATUS LEDs, they indicate unit
status. When the unit is operating normally and all is well, these LEDs turn on and off every few seconds
with all STATUS LEDs off.

When a problem exists, the Port LEDs will show the problem’s location (P1 or P2, or if both P1 and P2
are lit, a major alarm exists). The STATUS LEDs will then indicate the problem. If more than one port
has a problem, they will be shown in a cycle of 5 seconds each.

Power

The Power LED has two functions. When power is applied, it comes on amber to indicate that the unit is in
self-test mode. When the self-test satisfactorily completes, it changes to green to indicate that the unit is
functioning correctly.

Craft Port

Alarm Port

Back Panel Equipment

Each port has three connectors. The two BNC connectors, which are 75-ohm unbalanced, are marked Rx
and Tx. The RJ45 connector is 120-ohm balanced. Ensure the Impedance Switch is set to the correct
impedance. You can configure parameters for each port using the Gateway Management Interface on a
Web browser.

The Craft Port exists primarily to enable a serial connection to a dumb terminal or a terminal emulation
application on a computer that is running RS-232 at 9600 baud, 8 bit, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

If required, you can connect the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway Alarm Port to an alarm signal detector
before powering on the unit.

Switches

Power On/Off

The power On/Off switch (I / O) is adjacent to the mains connector.

Caution Before connecting any cables or changing any switches, power off the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway.

POST

You must set the Power On Self Test (POST) switch in the POST position before powering on the Cisco
VG30D Voice Gateway unit. Only Cisco Systems, Inc., engineers use the Factory position.

Impedance Switches

This allows the selection of either 75-ohm or 120-ohm impedance for the SCN ports. Use 75 ohms for
coaxial BNC connection (BNC position), and 120 ohms for UTP RJ45 connectivity (RJ45 position).

Caution Make this selection before power is applied to the unit.

Craft Switch

Use the Craft switch to switch between serial connection for initialising the Cisco VG30D Voice
Gateway and Factory Engineering management. By default, the switch should stay set to Craft.

Power On Self Test and IP Address Setup

Power On Self Test and IP Address Setup

On power ON of the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway, the unit will perform a self-test. The Power LED on
the front panel shows amber, and the four STATUS LEDs come on and go off (in sequence from left to
right) to indicate that the unit is performing the self-test. These tests check the correct operation of the
hardware and start the operational software. This process should complete in less than 1 minute.

Successful Self-Test

When all the tests complete successfully and the software is operational, the Power LED changes colour from
amber to green. Approximately 30 seconds later, you can log in to the web-based Gateway Management
Interface.

The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway has been configured with the default IP address of 192.168.1.1 and

The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway has 3 access levels:

• Monitor

• Configure

• Advanced

Close This button takes you back to the Menu or previous pages.

OL-19276-01

Chapter 3 Initial Configuration

Monitor level access allows the user to view the entire system configuration but prevents them from
making any changes.

Configure level access allows the user to make changes on the Application, DPNSS Basic and Q.931
Basic pages and to Back Up Configuration. At this access level, the user can view the remaining pages

but cannot change them.

Advanced level access users can make changes to any part of the configuration.

Help Facility

This facility, which is available from the Main menu, will open a separate browser window that may be
kept open at the same time as the Configuration window. However, it does not have the level of detail
of this User Guide and does not provide guidance on communications protocols.

Logout

The Logout facility is provided because only a single user may access the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway
management interface at any one time. When a user is logged in, no other logins will be accepted.
Therefore, the user should Logout at the end of the session.

An inactivity timer is provided for when a user does not log out. This timer enables another user to log
in after a set period of inactivity in the event of a network or computer failure. The factory default value
for the Non-Use Timeout Period is 5 minutes, but it may be set between 3 and 15 minutes. When the
Non-Use Timeout Period expires, it does not log out the user. This logout occurs when another user
attempts to log in.

Help Facility

Note When using Internet Explorer, if you close the browser or navigate to another location without first

logging out, a window will pop up to ask whether you want to log out from the Gateway Management
Interface. Selecting Logout will enable another user to log in immediately. Selecting Ignore will close
the window and leave you logged in until the Non-Use Timeout Period elapses.

Access Control

Name & Password Defaults

The factory default settings for the User Name (or User ID) and Password are the same as for the levels
of access. For example, to access the interface at Monitor level, the User Name is Monitor and the
Password is also Monitor. User Name is always the level of Access. Only the Password may get
changed. Remember that the User Name and Password are case sensitive.
