SETUP GUIDE SCENARIO

In this setup guide we will be using the U CM6102 whic h has a WAN and LAN interface. The im age below shows the most t ypical setu p where you ha ve the UCM6100 series WAN port connected to th e Internet and the LAN side of the UCM6100 series providing DHCP.
We will use this scenario t o setup a Grandstr eam GXP2124 which will be conne cted to the LA N side of the UCM6100 series. There can also be a network switch connected to the LAN port of the UCM6100 series so that there may be more than one device connected.
Figure 1: Typical UCM Scenario

CONNECTING THE UCM6102

QUICK INSTALLATION

Figure 2: Quick Installation Guide for UCM6102

ACCESS UCM6100 SERIES WEB INTERFACE

Accessing the UCM6100 series web interface al low u ser s to m anage us ers and system settings locally as well as remotely.
To access the web UI, depends on where the user’s computer is connected. If the computer is connected to the same switch/router that the UCM6100 series WAN port is connected, then browse to the IP addressed that is displayed on the UCM6100 series LCD. This address is the WAN IP. If the computer is connected to the LAN side of the UCM6100 series, then users would browse to the default IP of the UCM6100 series which is 1 92.1 68.2 .1. If success f ul, the UC M6100 series login p age wil l be dis p layed as shown below.
Figure 3: Quick Installation Guide – Login Screen

CREATE USER EXTENSION

CONFIGURE EXTENSION RANGE

First part of conf iguring the UCM6100 series shou ld be about planning for ex pansion. Here are some questions to think about when setting up extension ranges:
How many users are in the office?
Will there be departments within the office?
Is this office interconnecting with another office?
Once there’s a clear pic ture of how m any users will be at eac h locat ion , how dep artm ents are going to be segmented and what’s the expected growth of the company, a user can then configure the extension range. Navigate to PBX Internal Options General.
Figure 4: Create User Extension – Extension Range
In the figure above, the user ex tension range is set with a starting extens ion of 100 and ending at 195. This allows u p to 196 extens ions to as s ign to users. We have also created a c o nf er enc e exte ns io n r an ge from 196 to 199, which gives 4 c onference bridges. Users can configure an y extension range as they desire. Here we’ve configured it to use three digit extensions with a leading 1.
Click “Save” at the bott om. Then rem ember to clic k on “Apply Chang es” at the top s o that our extens ion range will be ready for the next steps.
6

BATCH & SINGLE USER CREATION

So now that there’s extension ranges configured, we can now begin creating users to prepare for the provisioning process . Ther e are t wo methods of cr eating a us er. On e m ethod would be creat ing a s ingle user. The other method would be creating a batch of users.
TEPS ON ADDING SINGLE USER
S
1. Navigate to PBX Basic/Call Routes Extensions. For first time setups users will see “No Extension defined”.
Figure 5: Create User Extension – Extensions
2. Click on “Create New User”
3. On the “Create New User” screen, users can enter in quite a few options, but they are not required for this tutorial. Click “Save” at the bottom of the page.
Figure 6: Create User Extension – Create New User
After clicking “Save” the Extensions pag e will disp lay with the single SI P extension tha t was just creat ed. Here the user has the ability to edit the extensions by clicking the at the right.
7
Figure 7: Create User Extension – Created Single User
S
TEPS ON ADDING BATCH OF USERS
1. Navigate to PBX Basic/Call Routes Extensions
2. Click on “Batch Add Extensions”
3. At the “Batch Add Extens io ns” dia log, the user c an sp ecif y the “Start ing Exte nsio n” and the num ber of extensions to generat e by setting the “Create Num ber”. In this tutorial we will have a starting extension of 101 and have the UCM6100 series generate 5 extensions with a password random ly generated. This would create extensions 101, 102, 103, 104 and 105.
Figure 8: Create User Extension – Batch Add User
4. Click “Create Users” at the bottom to ha ve the UCM6100 series generate the extens ions
5. Next, a prompt will app ear as k ing “Are you s ure you want to c re ate users : 101, 102, 103, 104 105”. Click “OK”.
Figure 9: Create User Extension – Create User Prompt

PROVISIONING & ZERO CONFIG

Grandstream SIP Devices can be configured via Web interface as well as via configuration file through TFTP/HTTP/HTTPS download. All Grandstream SIP devices support a proprietary binary format configuration file and X ML format configuration file. T he UCM6100 prov ides a Plug and Pla y mechanism to auto-provision th e Grands tream SIP devices in a zero conf iguration m anner by gen erating XML config file and having the phone t o download it. This allows users to f inish the installation with ease and start using the SIP devices in a managed way.
To provision a phone, three steps are involved, i.e., discovery, assignment and provisioning. The UCM6100 creates XML config file to the detected/assigned Grandstream device and accomplishes the following configurations on the device after the provisioning:
A UCM6100 extension will be assigned and registered on the phone.
SIP-related network settings such as "NAT traversal" and "Use Random Port" are configured o n the phone.
Call settings such as "Dial Plan" and "Auto Answer".
LDAP client configurations will be set up automatically on the phone to use the default LDAP directory
generated in the UCM6100 LDAP server.
This section explains how zero config works on the UCM6100. The settings for this feature can be accessed via Web GUI->PBX->Basic/Call Routes->Zero Config.
AUTO DISCOVERING
When referring back to our typical scenario in the beginning of this tutorial, we know that there is a GXP2124 connected to the LAN side of the UCM6100 series. T he UCM6100 series LAN interface has DHCP enabled and has ass igned the GXP2 124 with an IP address. By default the IP ass igned would be within the 192.168.2.X range. When the UCM6100 series offers an IP address to the phone it also off ers DHCP Option 66, whic h provides the ph one with a conf ig server path tha t points to the UCM6100 series. All of Grandstream VoIP devices have Opti on 66 turned on by default a nd this is how the GXP 2124 was discovered by the UCM6102.
Upon being discovere d, the GXP2124 will provide details about its MAC, IP Address, Version(Firmware), Vendor, Model, Connection Status and Create Config.
By navigating to PBXBasic/Call RoutesZero Config, a user will be able to see the discovered device(s).
Figure 11: Provisioning with Zero Config – Auto Discovery
10

EXTENSION ASSIGNMENT

In the Auto Provision settings, users have the option to enable “Automatically Assign Extension”. If enabled, an extension will be cr eated and as signed to the new d evice detect ed. This is a gr eat featur e if specific extension assignment isn’t required, but for our setup we’ll work on manually assigning an extension to a discovered device.
Navigate to PBXBasic/Call RoutesZero Config and click on the for the discovered device. The next screen pro vides detai ls of the de vice and als o allows a user to as sign an exte nsion. S ince our
GXP2124 is a 4 line phone, the UCM6100 series gives us the option to assign 4 extensions to the phone.
Figure 12: Provisioning with Zero Config – Extension Assignment
Click on the Account 1 and select the desired extension, then click “Save”. No w the Zero Config page displays the device with an extensio n assig ne d to it on Account 1.
Figure 13: Provisioning with Zero Config – Manually Assigned Extension
After assigning an ex tension, the phone m ust be rebooted in order t o pick up the configura tion file from the UCM6100 series. During this process, the phone will bootup, request for conf ig file,download the config file, then reboot once more in order to apply the changes.
After the phone is com pletely booted, Navigate to PBXBasic/Cal l RoutesExtensio ns page to see the extension status. The SIP status will show a green circle for a successful registration.
Figure 14: Provisioning with Zero Config – Extension Status

CONFERENCE BRIDGE

The UCM6100 supports conference bridge allowing multiple bridges used at the same time:
UCM6102/6104 suppor ts up to 3 conf erence bridges allowing up to 25 simultan eous PST N or IP participants.
UCM6108/6116 supports up to 6 conference bridges allowing up to 32 simultan eous PSTN or IP participants.
The conference bridge configurations can be accessed under Web GUI->PBX->Call Features­>Conference. In this page, users could create, edit, view, invite, manage the participants and delete conference bridges. T he c o nf er enc e brid ge s t atus a nd c onf erenc e c al l rec ord ings (if r ec ording is en abled) will be displayed in this web page as well.

HOW TO SETUP A CONFERENCE BRIDGE

1. Click on “Create New Conference Room”
2. At the “Create New Co nference R oom ” screen, the Ex tension is autom aticall y populated sinc e the extension range is in effect. Users can assign another number that is within the Conference Extension range
3. Next, uncheck the option “ Public Mode”. This will m ake the password options a vailable. Enter a numeric password f or an admin as well as the regular user pass word. In this example, the user enters 511511 as the user password and 510510 as the admin password.
Figure 15: Conference Bridge – Create New Conference Room

4. Click “Save” at the bottom then “Apply Changes” at the top.
We should now have a conference room created and the status page will display the following:
Figure 16: Conference Bridge – Create New Conference Room
With the phone that was re gistered to t he UCM 6100 series, dial the conference r oom extension. For th is example we will d ial 196. The user will hear a prom pt for the conference password. Depen ding on the user, the regular password or admin password can be entered.
During a conference call, the admin can login to the UCM6100 series and view the conference room status. This provides t he adm in with d etails o n wh ich c onfer ence room is ac tive, who the p artici pants ar e and the conference call current duration.
Besides status inf orm ation, the a dm in has a sev eral c onf erence m anagement tools. By cl ick ing the button, the admin c an invite oth er users to the conf erence. C licking will kick the selected us er from
the conference. When clicking or button the admin will mute/unmute the specific user.

CALL ROUTES

OUTBOUND ROUTES

In the UCM6100, an outgoing c alling rule pairs an ex tension patter n with a trunk used to dial the patter n. This allows different patterns to be dialed through different trunks (e.g., "Local" 7-digit dials through a FXO while "Long distanc e" 10-digit dials through a low-cost SIP trunk) . Users can also set up a failov er trunk to be used when the primary trunk fails.
Go to Web GUI->PBX->Basic/Call Routes->Outbound Routes to add and edit outbound rules.
Click on "Create New Outbound Rule" to add a new outbound route.
Click on to edit the outbound route.
Click on to delete the outbound route.
Click on to move the outb ound route up/down to arrange the pr iority of the outboun d
rule. The outbound ru le listed o n the t op has hig her priorit y. W hen the dial ing patt ern matc hes two or more outbound rules (f or example, th e sam e pattern is c onfigured for 2 differ ent trunks ; or dialing out 1000 matches patter n 1xxx f or trunk 1 and pattern 10 0x for trunk 2), the one lis ted on the top will be used.
OW TO CONFIGURE AN OUTBOUND ROUTE
H
1. Click “Create New Outbound Rule”
2. Configure the name of the Calling Rule. For example, ‘Local’, ‘LongDistance’ and etc.
3. Create a dial Pattern. For 7 digit dialing (Local) the pattern will look like this: XXXXXXX This means that an y 7 digits will use th is route. F or 10 di git dialin g the patter n woul d look lik e this: NXXNXXXXXX. If a ‘1’ is required before dialing out, the dial patter can be configured in this manner: 1NXXNXXXXXX.
In this example, the dial pattern is going to be created for local 7 digit dialing so the pattern is XXXXXX
4. Next, set a “Privilege Level”. There are 4 Pr ivilege Levels; Interna l, Local, National, Inter national. Internal is the lowest level of security where as international is the highest level of security.
The way that Privilege Levels are used could be thought of as door lock s. Extens ions are grante d with “Permissions” that can be seen as keys. If an Extension is configured with an Internal permission, it CANNOT access an outbound route with a Privilege level of Local, National and International. A user c onfigured with National p ermission can access routes th at have a Privilege Level of Internal, Local, National, but not Inter nat ion al.
5. The pattern that was configured is a 7 digit dialing pattern. For “Use Trunk” select the Analog Trunk or select the desir ed trunk for this particular dial p attern. For long distance calls , it may be cost effective to route the calls to SIP trunk versus going through a local PSTN line.
6. Click “Save” and then click on “Apply Changes” at the top.
19
Figure 25: Routes – Create Outbound Route

INBOUND ROUTES

In the UCM6100, an incoming calling rule allows for various inbound destinations. Users can route inbound calls by DI D, to Extension , Voicemail, Conf erence Room, Queue, Ring Group, Page, Voicemail Group, FAX, DISA or IVR. These inbound routes can also be triggered based on a time condition as well.
Inbound routes can be configured via Web GUI->PBX->Basic/C a ll Rout es->Inbound Routes.
Click on "Create New Inbound Rule" to add a new inbound route.
Click on "DID Features" to configure DID features for the inbound route.
Click on "Blacklist" to configure blacklist for all inbound routes.
Click on to edit the inbound route.
Click on to delete the inbound route.
This section of the tutorial will pro vide instruct ions on ho w to setu p an i nbound ro ute for a R egist ered SIP Trunk. Inbound calls into this SIP trunk will have a default destination as well as a time conditioned destination.
20

SETUP INBOUND ROUTE

1. Click on “Create New Inbound Rule”
2. For “Trunks” select the SIP trunk that has been configured. (e.g. GS Trunk)
3. The DID pattern can be com posed of two par ts, divided b y a ‘/’ charac ter. The f irst part is us ed to specify the dialed n umber and the s econd p art is use d to spec ify the caller I D, which is optiona l. If caller ID section is ent ered it means onl y the extensio n with the specific c aller ID is allo wed to call into this trunk.
4. “Privilege level” can be left as Internal
5. Click the dropdown box for “Default Destination” and select IVR. Then select the IVR extension.
6. Next, click on “Click to add Time Condition”.
7. Enter a “Start Time” of 8am, “End Time” of 6pm.
8. Next select By Week for “Date” and select Monday-Friday.
9. For “Destination” select Extension and choose an extension number.
Figure 26: Routes – Create Inbound Route
When a call is received on t his SI P trunk during the hours of 8am to 6pm it will b e routed t o ex tens i on 1 00. All calls outside of this condition will be routed to the IVR extension 7004.
