2. Setting Up IP Address
If your network has a DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, then there is no need
for manual IP address setting. The Net2Phone MAX system automatically configures IP related
parameter settings itself using the DHCP protocol.
The IP related parameter settings are displayed on console when system boots up. For
connecting console to Net2Phone MAX, refer to section 2.1.
If your network does not have a DHCP server, then you can manually configure IP address
settings through the console port. (Refer to section 2.2)
2.1. Connecting Console to Net2Phone MAX
① Prepare a serial communication cable. (D-sub 9-pin, male-to-female, straight-through
connection)
② Connect the cable from a computer to the Net2Phone MAX.
③ Start HyperTerminal (in windows95/98/NT)or equivalent terminal emulator application
program.
④ Set serial communication parameters as following table
Baud rate 19200
Parity None
Character size 8
Stop Bit 1
Flow Control None
⑤ Execute disconnect command and then execute connect command again.
⑥ Power on the Net2Phone MAX, then wait while the booting messages of Net2Phone MAX
are displayed.
⑦ If login prompt is displayed, login by using one of the following user ID’s.
user ID Password [factory default]

B. Play Welcome Only : When this option is selected, callers to the port hear a welcome
message, “Welcome to Net2Phone. Please enter the number you wish to call.” Callers
can then make VoIP calls without restriction.
C. Request Password Only : This option prevents unauthorized access to the T1/E1 on
which it is set. Callers are asked to enter a password through the telephone keypad
before access to VoIP calling is permitted. Callers can then make VoIP calls without
restriction. To configure this option, you must create a password (in the port’s
Password column) which may consist of up to 5 (numeric only) characters.
D. Request Account and PIN : This feature requires the caller to enter a Net2Phone
account number and PIN before VoIP calling is enabled. If the caller then incurs
charges while using the Net2Phone MAX, they will accrue to the caller’s account.
E. Request Password Account and PIN : This option combines the two functions
described above.
F. Use Forwarding Number : Select this IVR option for a port if you wish to have
incoming calls to that port forwarded to a specified number automatically, without
notice to the caller. Any PSTN telephone number, or a Net2Phone account number
preceded by *72, may be entered in the Forwarding Number column. If a PSTN

If your network uses firewall system, then you must make following request to the network
administrator.
{The network administrator must open up at least 3 UDP port and 2 TCP port.}
The following ports must be opened through the firewall:
UDPPORT=6801
UDPPORT=21000,21001
11
Page 15
User Guide Network and Voice Configuration
TDPPORT=21000,21001
The ports must be allowed to make an external connection and a connection back in.
The network administrator must make sure that UDP port 6801 is open. The other UDPPORT &
TCPPORT can be anything in the range from 21000.
Once these port numbers are decided, the end user (Net2Phone MAX user) must set up the
TCP start port and UDP start port parameters in the Network configuration table as specified by
the network administrator.
If there are more than one user, then the network administrator must open up extra 2
UDPPORT & 2 TCPPORT per additional user in consecutive order.
If the customer uses a proxy server, then there is no solution. The Net2Phone Firewall
Information web page states that Net2Phone cannot work through a proxy server under any
circumstance.
Voice configuration figure displays the jitter buffer bounds, which are used for controlling QoS.

VOIP interface for IP network
Next, type in the logical port number of the port. This number can be viewed at the hardware
and port configuration page.
The third step is to specifying the call numbers that are to be directed to the port. You can use
following characters.
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,* used for ordinary digits which user can input from telephone
? Represents any one of ordinary digits.
~ Represents any length of any one of ordinary digits.
(Note : ‘#’ characters are used for end-digit indicator, so # character does not appear in number
field of call routing table)
<Example 1>
‘1???’ represents the number which starts with digit 1 followed by any 3 digits.
<Example 2>
‘011~’ represents the number which starts from 011 followed by any length of any digits.
The rest of the input boxes representing the truncation length (TRNC), the prefix number (PRE),
postfix number (POST) are for reserved use and don’t need to be modified.
To delete any unwanted entry, simply type in the entry index number in the Delete Entry box,
and click the Delete Entry button.
However, the VOIP entries with the number field ~ and ***~ can not be deleted, since these 2
entries are necessary for correct operation of the Net2Phone MAX system.

12. T1/E1 Configuration Guide
12.1. Overview of Digital Trunk Interface
Digital trunk interface is used for transferring a large volume of call traffic between exchange
equipments (PBX or KTS) or between Exchange equipment and peripherals.
Digital trunk interface has signaling function, which exchanges information needed for traffic
path setup, release and monitoring, and supervisory control function, which performs status
management function and error diagnosis for trunk line.
Digital trunk interface is generally classified into E1 interface and T1 interface depending on
transmitting speed and has various types of interface depending on timing, frame mode, line
encoding, signaling, etc.
12.2. Timing Clock mode Setup
To maintain error-free communication state between two exchange equipments connected
by digital trunk, timing clock signal must be synchronized for exact clock extraction and data
tranceiving.
One of them generates timing clock signal, sends it to remote side, this clock generating
system is called clock source or clock master, and the remote side receiving timing clock
from clock master makes itself synchronization with clock master system using phase
locked loop circuit, this system is called clock slave.
Yap Max system has a chip, this chip contains phase locked loop circuit, so that this system
can be used as clock master or clock slave.
Commands for timing clock mode setup of MAX system are executed in the directory of
‘MAX:/CONFIG/COMMON’.
‘Clkp’ is the parameter to set primary system clock source and has option values like
‘freerun’ and ‘dvu’.
The former option value ‘freerun’ means clock master and the latter option value ‘dvu’
means clock slave.
‘Clks’ is the parameter to set secondary system clock source but this parameter is used only
when several DVU boards are inserted into a system.
‘Clks’ parameter can be set with the same value as ‘clkp’.
30
Page 34
User Guide T1/E1 configuration guide
12.2.1. When MAX is set as clock master.
In this case, timing clock signal that MAX system generates is used for
telecommunication over digital trunk interface between AX-200 and exchange
equipment (PBX in the figure 1)
Figure 1. Clock Master Diagram
T1/E1
clock
MAX
PBX
The command settings for clock master are as follows:
Digital trunk is classified into E1 (2.048Mhz) and T1 (1.544Mhz) depending on transmission
speed.
Command for digital trunk setup is executed in the directory of ‘MAX:/CONFIG/DTRUNK>’.
MAX:/CONFIG/DTRUNK>change cfg type <value>
The option value can be defined as ‘T1’ or ‘E1’.
12.3.1. Line Coding
Line coding means transformation of original digital bit stream to optimized bit pattern
for easy clock extraction and error detection.
AMI (Alternate mark inversion) and B8ZS (Binary 8-zero substitution) line codings are
used in the T1 trunk and HDB3 (High-Density Bipolar-3 zeros) and AMI line codings are
used in the E1 trunk.
The line coding of MAX must be identical to that of counterpart exchange
equipments.(PBX)
Command to set line coding is executed in the directory of ‘MAX:/CONFIG/DTRUNK>’.
MAX:/CONFIG/DTRUNK>change cfg lcode <value>
The option value can be defined as ‘AMI’, ‘HDB3’, or ‘B8ZS’.
12.3.2. Frame Type
Data transmitted and received through digital trunk forms a bundle of bit, is called as
frame.
Frame types like SF (Super Frame), ESF (Extended Super Frame) and D3/D4 are used
in the T1 trunk and CRC4 and non-CRC4 frames are used in the E1 trunk.
The frame type of MAX must be identical to that of counterpart exchange
equipments.(PBX)
Command to set frame type is executed in the directory ‘MAX:/CONFIG/DTRUNK>’.
MAX:/CONFIG/DTRUNK>change cfg frame <value>
The option value can be defined as ‘D4’, ‘ESF’, ‘SLS96’, ‘CRC4’, or ‘NOCRC4’.
32
Page 36
User Guide T1/E1 configuration guide
12.3.3. Signaling Setup
Signaling is a protocol to exchange information needed for line monitoring, call setup or
release between exchange equipments, between extension line and exchange equipment,
or between network equipments.
Digital trunk has two types of signaling as below.
- Common Channel Signaling (CCS)
- Channel Associated Signaling (CAS)
Command for signaling setup is executed in the directory of ‘MAX:/CONFIG/DTRUNK>’.
MAX:/CONFIG/DTRUNK>change cfg sig <value>
The option value can be selected as ‘R2’, ‘DTMF’, or ‘ISDN’.
‘R2’ and ‘DTMF’ are CAS signaling type and ‘ISDN’ is CCS signaling type.
12.3.4. CCS
CCS is a signaling type used to send signaling information as out-band signal.
The most notable and widely used form of this signaling type is ISDN. One
disadvantage to using an ISDN primary rate interface (PRI) is the removal of one DS0,
or voice channel in this case, for signaling use. Therefore, one T1 may have 23 DSOs,
or B channels for user data, and one DSO, or D channel for signaling. It is possible to
control multiple PRIs with a single D channel each using Non Facility Associated
Signaling (NFAS), and therefore, you can configure the other PRI's in the NFAS group
to use all 24 DS0s as B channels
MAXN supports T1 ISDN PRI and E1 ISDN PRI.
T1 ISDN PRI or E1 ISDN PRI depends upon digital trunk type.
12.3.5. ISDN PRI
The commands and parameters used for ISDN PRI setup are as follows:
promode – ISDN protocol mode
This parameter is used to set ISDN protocol mode. (ETSI, National ISDN-2)
This setting must be identical to that of the counterpart PBX and support
MAX:/CONFIG/ISDN>change promode <value>
33
Page 37
User Guide T1/E1 configuration guide
etsi - ETSI
ni2 - National ISDN-2
opmode
This parameter is used to choose user-side protocol or network-side protocol.
If the counterpart exchange equipment is user-side, network-side have to be
chosen.
If the counterpart exchange equipment is network-side, user-side have to be
chosen.
MAX:/CONFIG/ISDN>change opmode <value>
user – ISDN PRI user-side pr otocol
net – ISDN PRI network-side protocol
dmode
dsend
dtype
This parameter is used to set the mode to send destination number.
In case of collecting numbers and sending them at a time in SETUP message,
enbloc is to set.
In case of sending them one by one in INFO message, overlap is to set.
This parameter is used to choose sending a dial tone to the current channel in
receiving overlap.
In case of setting to ‘ON’ and SETUP message doesn’t have a destination
number, a dial tone will be sent to the current channel.
MAX:/CONFIG/ISDN>change dsend <value>
This parameter is used to send continuous dial tone or discontinuous dial tone.
t1
MAX:/CONFIG/ISDN>change dtype <value>
This parameter is used to set the time waiting the first INFO message sent from
the counterpart exchange equipment in receiving overlap.
MAX:/CONFIG/ISDN>change t1 <value>
34
Page 38
User Guide T1/E1 configuration guide
t2
This parameter is used to set the max interval time between INFO messages in
receiving overlap. If one INFO message is not followed by the next message
within the t2 time, digit information received up to the latest is regarded as
destination address.
MAX:/CONFIG/ISDN>change t2 <value>
t3xx
This parameter is used to set the value of the timer related to ISDN hierarchy
defined in ITU-T Q.931. For further details, refer to ITU-T Q.931
Recommendation.
MAX:/CONFIG/ISDN>change t303 <value>
cnpn, cdpn
12.3.6. CAS
CAS is a signaling type used to send signaling information into information band.
CAS signaling is divided largely into line signaling and address signaling.

performs call setup, call connection monitoring and release operation.
MAX:/CONFIG/ISDN>change t304 <value>
………..
MAX:/CONFIG/ISDN>change t310 <value>
This parameter is used to set numbering plan needed to use in case of sending
calling party number or called party number. For further details, refer to ITU-T
Q.931 Recommendation.
Address signaling performs processing related caller-dialed number, that is, destination

T1 line signaling :
CAS signaling means that instead of having a specific time slot(such as an ISDN D
channel in PRI) designated to provide signaling only, signaling bits are within the sixth,
35
Page 39
User Guide T1/E1 configuration guide
twelfth, eighteenth and twenty-fourth frames of each time slot. CAS signaling is often
called robbed-bit signaling because it takes bits from bearer channels and uses them
for signaling.
Various types of CAS signaling are available in the T1 world. The most common forms
of CAS signaling are loop-start, ground-start, and EM signaling.
E1 line signaling :
The Conference of European Postal and Telecommunications administrations (CEPT)
defines how bits of a PCM carrier system in E1 areas will be used and in what
sequence. E1 circuits use the Channel Associated Signaling(CAS) protocol. Frames
using CAS share time slot 16, which carries signaling information for two time slots or
voice channels at a time.
Address signaling :
In CAS signaling, address signal is transmitted as audio tone through the voice channel.
International standard for audio tone transmission is R2MFC signaling but most of
countries has adapted different form each other in the number of tones used and
frequency range
DTMF can be used as audio tone in PBX.
12.3.7. T1 CAS
Line signaling used in MAX is E&M signaling that includes ‘E&M wink-start’,
‘E&M immediate-start’ and ‘E&M delay-start’.
The command to set line signaling is executed in the directory of
‘N2P:/CONFIG/R2>’.
MAX:/CONFIG/R2> change stype <value>
The option value can be selected as ‘emi’, ‘emd’, or ‘emw’.
‘emi’ is for E&M immediate, ‘emd’ for E&M delay-start and ‘emw’ for E&M wink-
start.
Address signaling used in MAXN is R2MFC signaling and DTMF signaling.
The command to set address signaling is executed in the directory of
‘N2P:/CONFIG/DTRUNK>’.
N2P:/CONFIG/DTRUNK>change cfg sig <value>
The option value can be selected as ‘r2’ or ‘dtmf’.
‘r2’ is for R2MFC signaling and ‘dtmf” for DTMF signaling.
