Figure 2-1 illustrates how the VoIP Paging Gateway is normally installed as part of a paging system:
● When you call to make a page, the VoIP Paging Gateway generates a tone over the phone.
● When you hear this tone, enter the two-digit code for the zone that you want to page.
● The VoIP Paging Gateway sends the code to the paging amplifier.
● When the paging amp acknowleges the code, the VoIP Paging Gateway generates another tone
to the phone.
● When you hear this tone, you can begin paging.

2.3 Setting up the VoIP Paging Gateway
Before you set up the VoIP Paging Gateway, be sure that you have received all the parts described in
Section 2.1, "Parts list".
To set up the VoIP Paging Gateway:
● Connect to the Power Source
● Connect to the Network
● Confirm that the VoIP Paging Gateway is up and running
•Confirm Power on, Network Connectivity, and Baud Rate
•Verify Network Activity
● Connect to a Paging Device
•Connect the VoIP Paging Gateway to a Paging Amplifier
•Connect the VoIP Paging Gateway to a Telephone
● Broadcast a test message to all paging zones
● Restore the Factory Default Settings as Required
2.3.1 Connect to the Power Source
To use PoE, plug a Cat 5 Ethernet cable from the VoIP Paging Gateway Ethernet port to your
network. As an alternative to PoE, you can plug one end of a +48V DC power supply into the Paging
Gateway, and plug the other end into a receptacle. Connect the earth grounding wire to the chassis
ground on the back of the unit.
2.3.4.1 Connect the VoIP Paging Gateway to a Paging Amplifier
Plug one end of a modular telephone cord into the Paging Gateway Line Out port. Plug the other
end into your paging amplifier.
Figure 2-5. Connecting to a Paging Amplifier
9
2.3.4.2 Connect the VoIP Paging Gateway to a Telephone
Plug one end of a modular telephone cord into the Paging Gateway Line Out port. Plug the other
end into a touch tone telephone.
2.3.5 Broadcast a test message to all paging zones
The Test/Reset switch is located on the back of the VoIP Paging Gateway. It enables testing to all
paging zones, and lets you restore the VoIP Paging Gateway to its factory default settings.
VoIP Paging Gateway Operations Guide930098DCyberData Corporation
Implementing the VoIP Paging Gateway
10
Once the VoIP Paging Gateway is running and connected to a paging device, use the Test/Reset
switch to broadcast a test message to all zones in the paging system.
Figure 2-6. Test/Reset Switch
NoteWhen the VoIP Paging Gateway has been configured and connected to a paging device, you
can also broadcast a test message to a paging zone that you specify. Refer to
"Broadcast a Test Message to a Specific Paging Zone"
To use the Test/Reset switch to broadcast a test message to all zones:
1. Press the end of a paper clip into the switch only until it beeps after one second.
2. Immediately release the switch. The VoIP Paging Gateway sends the audio message, via the
paging amplifier, to zone 00, which is the code for all zones, and the test message is broadcast to
all enabled paging zones. The round, green Paging light below the Status light blinks when the
page is in progress.
CAUTION Pressing the Test/Reset switch for longer than one second might restore the VoIP
Paging Gateway settings to the factory defaults.
2.3.6 Restore the Factory Default Settings as Required
The VoIP Paging Gateway is delivered with factory set default values for the following parameters.
Use the Test/Reset switch on the back of the unit to restore these parameters to the factory default
settings. See
NoteWhen you perform this procedure, the factory default settings are restored for all the
To restore these parameters to the factory default settings:
1. Press and hold the Te st / R e se t switch while the unit beeps after one second and all indicator
lights on the front of the unit come on.
2. Continue to press the switch until after the indicator lights go off, and then release it.
● The VoIP Paging Gateway settings are restored to the factory defaults.
● The unit announces the restored default IP address:
11
192.168.3.10
● Then, a voice message announces that the unit is rebooting.

2.4 Configuring the VoIP Paging Gateway
Perform the following steps to configure the VoIP Paging Gateway online:
● Gather the Required Configuration Information
● Log in to the Configuration GUI
● Configure the Network Parameters
● Change the Default Username and Password
● Configure the SiP Parameters
2.4.1 Gather the Required Configuration Information
Have the following information available before you configure the VoIP Paging Gateway.
2.4.1.1 Static or DHCP Addressing?
Know whether your system uses static or dynamic (DHCP) IP addressing. If it uses static
addressing, you also need to know the values to assign to the following VoIP Paging Gateway
parameters:
● IP Address
● Subnet Mask
● Default Gateway
2.4.1.2 Username and Password for Configuration GUI
Determine the Username and Password that will replace the defaults after you initially log in to the
configuration GUI.
● The Username is case-sensitive, and must be from four to 25 alphanumeric characters long
● The Password is case-sensitive, and must be from four to 20 alphanumeric characters long
2.4.1.3 Zone Numbers for Testing Purposes
To audio test the VoIP Paging Gateway you need to enter the zone number you are testing. Be sure
to have this information on hand so that you can audio test the gateway with each paging zone.
2.4.1.4 SIP Settings
To configure the SIP parameters, determine whether you want to register the server. If you do,
determine the number of minutes the registration lease remains valid, and whether you want to
automatically unregister when you reboot. To configure the SIP parameters, you also need to
determine the values for these parameters:
● SIP Server IP Address
● Remote and Local SIP Port Numbers
● SIP User ID, and Authenticate ID and Password for this User ID
1. For the initial configuration of the VoIP Paging Gateway, open your browser and enter the
following address:
http://192.168.3.10
NoteTo work with the VoIP Paging Gateway configuration after the initial configuration, log in
using the IP address you assign to the device.

2.5 Upgrading the Firmware
The firmware on the board consists of two files: a Kernel and an Application, that can be loaded
separately. Uploading the firmware files requires a host machine running a TFTP server. If you need
to set up this server, Appendix A, “Setting up a TFTP server” provides instructions.
Upgrading the firmware requires a TFTP server on which you access the Web interface where you
upload the firmware files.
A.1 Set up a TFTP Server
Upgrading the VoIP Paging Gateway firmware requires a TFTP server on which you access the Web
interface where you can upload the firmware files.
A.1.1 In a LINUX Environment
To set up a TFTP server on LINUX:
1. Create a directory dedicated to the TFTP server, and move the files to be uploaded to that
directory.
25
2. Run the following command where /tftpboot/ is the path to the directory you created in
Step 1: the directory that contains the files to be uploaded. For example:
in.tftpd -l -s /tftpboot/your_directory_name
A.1.2 In a Windows Environment
You can find several options online for setting up a Windows TFTP server. This example explains
how to use the Solarwinds freeware TFTP server, which you can download at:
3. Make a note of the default directory name, and then move the firmware files to be uploaded to
that directory.
