Call your NEC America, Inc. authorized dealer if you need assistance when installing, programming, or
using your syste m.

Prerequisites for Installation

The following items are required before installing the i-Series Gate wa y.

1HWZRUN5HTXLUHPHQWV



Appropriate network terminating device must be installed, configured, and functioning at both the
corporate facility and the branch office and both must support an RS-232, V.35 or V.530 synchronous,
asynchronous or Voice over IP interface.



A 50-pin cable with an RJ-21 female connector.



Appropriate network terminating device must be installed and functioning at both the corporate facilit y
and the branch office.



The data connection between the corporate facility and the branch office MUST be operational and
configured properly.



The system has been designed to operate from 100-240 VAC, 50-60Hz. Power should not be applied
to the i-Series Gateway unit until specified in the installation procedures.



The Gateway’s power supply and cabling should be installed away from high power/high RF noise
devices such as computers, fans, fluorescent ballast, power supplies, etc.



Use good wiring practices. Do not run wires over fluorescent lights, computers, air conditioners, etc. as
this can introduce noise to the modems.



The distance from the PBX to the i-Series Gateway should not exceed 500 feet.



Obtain the following information from your customer:

MODE: (V.35, RS-232, RS-530)_________________
NUMBER OF DS
56K or 64K_______________

number of DS

∅s X 64 or 56K(above) = _________ SYNC RATE ÷ number of stations = _______

If the result is at least 40 KBPS use ADPCM32 voice compression
If the result is less than 40 KBPS but at least 32 KBPS use ADPCM24 voice compression
If the result is less than 32 KBPS but at least 16 KBPS use G.729A voice compression
If the result is less than 16 KBPS, there is not enough bandwidth for all phone s to be active
simultaneously.

Note: This is a general guideline for calculating bandwidth requirements. For more information, see

your System Administrator’s Guide.



If using an asynchronous connection, an ISDN Terminal Adapter (TAs) from the list below must be
installed and operational at BOTH the corporate facility and at the Branch Office location. This list is
complete as of the release date of this document.

Note: In order for the Async-RS 232 Dial feature to work properly for these devices, you need to setup

each device to accept incoming “AT Commands”. Consult the documentation provided with each device
for proper instructions.



Proper wiring with adequate punch down blocks to connect the Gateway to the PBX. Must be wired
according to Table 3, page 7, and provide RJ-21 female connector.



ISDN Requirements (for Asynchronous connections)

Before you install your units, you need to order an ISDN line at both the local site and the remote branch
office. This ISDN line should be capable of the following:



The ability to make two “data” calls using both B Channel of the ISDN line.



If Long Distance, both “data” calls need to be routed as a “data” call.

Note: Confirm this with your Long Distance provider when you order your ISDN Line.

i-Series Gateway Page 3 G-6000G-SKE, Rev AA

Information for the System Administrator



Once your ISDN line is installed, you will be provided with two Service P r ofile Identifiers (SPIDs) and two
Directory Numbers (DNs). Provide these numbers to the System Administrator.

Note: When installing the ISDN TAs, make sure you write down the SPIDs and DNs. Keep this information
in a safe place for reference. If you do not have the SPIDs or DNs, you cannot program the ISDN TAs.

VT-100 Setup

Procedure

1. Make sure the i-Series Gateway is connected as shown on page 6.

2. You must use a communications package — for example, HyperTerminal — to configure and test the
i-Series Gateway. Attach one end of the RS-232 cable to your PC COM1 port and the other end to the
Console port connector on the front of the i-Series Gateway.

3. Set up HyperTerminal as follows:

Access: Start button > Programs > Accessories > HyperTerminal folder > HyperTerminal icon.

a

Type PBXgateway and click OK.

b

Within HyperTerminal go under File Properties and then select Connect using = Direct to COM1.

c

Select Configure and then set the parameters to 9600, 8, none, and Xon/Xoff and click OK.

d

Select the Settings tab and configure Emulation to VT100, then click OK.

e

4. Go to Power-Up sequence on the next page.
