Please read this guide thoroughly as it describes the basic installation of
the device. Additional configuration needed to deploy the device in a
specific environment can be performed with the help of online help.
This guide also provides an example of a typical 4552 deployment that
can be used as a guideline for your installation.
Requirements for Installation
• A computer with a web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or
Mozilla Firefox or any o th e r b ro wser of your choice
• At least one Ethernet cable
• Following information supplied by the Internet Service Provider:
o IP address of the WAN interface
Before You Start
o if T1 is being used for WAN connection then:
T1 frame format
Layer 2 protocol such as PPP, Frame Relay/DLCIs, HDLC,
etc.

Instructions
Step 1 Connecting the Cables
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to local LAN port 1 of the 4552. This port can be
seen in the area “B” of the above picture. Connect the other end of the cable to your
computer’s Ethernet port.
2. If T1 is used for the WAN connectivity then perform the following steps, otherwise go to
step 5.
3. Based on the number of functional ports, connect on end of the T1 cable(s) to the T1
port(s), located in area “D” of the above picture, and the other end of the cable(s) to the
T1 demarcation unit provided by the Service Provider.
To reduce the risk of fire, connect the T1 port to the T1 network using only 26
AWG or larger wire such as 24, 22, 20, etc.
4. Skip to step 6.
5. Connect an Ethernet cable between the Ethernet WAN port of the 4552, shown in the
above diagram as “C,” and the Ethernet port on a router or a modem.
6. Plug one end of the power adapter into an AC outlet and the other end into the power
receptacle on the 4552.
Make sure that the power and status LEDs, shown in the diagram below as “A” and “B”,
are solid green after a short while.

Step 3 Plan Your Configuration
The EdgeMarc 4552 can be deployed as a gateway router in a network. It can also be deployed
in a network behind an existing firewall.
Note: When deploying VoIP services, all connected LAN switches or routers must support full
duplex.
Based on your deployment criteria, consult the following documents for further configuration:
• EdgeMarc 4552 Hardware Installation Guide
• VoIP Operating System (VOS) for EdgeMarc User Manual
Helpful Hints
Although not recommended, the 4552 and IP phones can be installed behind an existing
enterprise firewall. In this instance the firewall will have to be configured to allow access to and
from the 4552’s public IP address for the following ports:
Port Type Firewall Ports to Open
UDP 161 (SNMP) and 162 (SNMPTRAP)
RTP 16386 to 17286
TCP SSH TCP 22 for remote management & TCP 80 for WAN
configuration-downloads
Telnet 23
FTP TCP 21 for stateful TCP-session control from 4508T4W to
Edgewater FTP server
MGCP 2427, 2429, 2432, and 2727
NTP ¬ 123
SIP 5060 and 5075
IP phones normally point to a local NTP server for their time reference. The NTP port 123
needs to be opened if your network does not have an NTP server.
Please Note: Traffic shaping for this configuration is only available if the enterprise data
devices are also installed behind the 4552.
