The VIP-281GS is equipped with both FXS and PSTN interfaces, which gives the gateway a wide
range of potential applications. The VIP-281GS can be installed on a PBX trunk line to enrich its
trunks-GSM and VoIP routes. The PBX is able to have voice communication to either VoIP or GSM
environment by the least costs.
Meanwhile, the VIP-281GS is designed for comfort, ease-of-use with a sophisticated and satisfaction to
customers. The VIP-281GS not only inherits traditions of quality voice communications but the
VIP-281GS also eliminates the human resource of VoIP network deployment. With optimized
H.323/SIP architecture, the VIP-281SG is the ideal choices for P2P voice chat and ITSP cost-saving
solution, but also provides network-converting feature to translate the packet network into traditional
PBX system.
With built-in PPPoE/DHCP/DDNS clients, up to 2 concurrent connections in VIP-281GS, voice
communications can be established from anywhere around the world. The VIP-281GS comes with
intuitive user-friendly and powerful management interface (web/telnet), that can dramatically reduce IT
personnel resource and complete GSM/VoIP deployment in a short time. Plus remote management
capability, administrators can monitor machine/network status or proceed
maintenance/trouble-shooting service via Internet browser or telnet session.
Besides, it provides voice channels status display and optimized packet voice streaming over managed
and public (Internet) IP networks.

Dynamic DNS

DDNS is a service that maps Internet domain names to IP addresses. DDNS serves a similar purpose
to DNS: DDNS allows anyone hosting a Web or FTP server to advertise a public name to prospective
users. Unlike DNS that only works with static IP addresses, DDNS works with dynamic IP addresses,
such as those assigned by an ISP or other DHCP server. DDNS is popular with home network, who
typically receive dynamic, frequently-changing IP addresses from their service provider. To use DDNS,
one simply signs up with a provider and installs network software on their host to monitor its IP address.

H.323 VoIP Advance Configurtion
After the VoIP call is connected, when you dial a digit, this digit is sent
to the other side by DTMF tone. There are two methods of sending
the DTMF tone. The first is “in band”, that is, sending the DTMF tone
DTMF Relay for H.323
in the voice packet. The other is “out band”, that is, sending the DTMF
tone as a signal. Sending DTMF tone as a signal could tolerate more
packet loss caused by the network. If this selection is enabled, the
DTMF tone will be sent as a signal.

This selection could force the Gateway to use H.245 Tunneling when
establishing a VoIP call The default is disabled (using fast start

There are 2 choices for this setting. “Gateway” means it will act as the
VoIP gateway. “Terminal” means it will act as the IP phone terminal.
This command configures the number of seconds that the gateway
should be considered active by the H.323 Gatekeeper. The gateway
transmits this value in the RRQ message to the gatekeeper.The
default value is “0”.
When a VoIP call is incoming, the Gateway will ring a specific phone
set. The H.323 call signaling part could be connected or alerting
during this ringing period. If this selection is enabled, the H.323
signaling part is connected during the ringing period. The benefit of
this situation is that the remote side could hear the status of the

Gateway is really ringing the phone set. If the phone set is busy, the
remote side will hear busy tone. The disadvantage of this situation is
that the H.323 connected time is not the real voice call connected
time. So, if billing is recorded for this Gateway, this function should be
disabled.
Some Gatekeeper register need UA send MAC address to

Voice communications

The chapter shows you the concept and command to help you configure your PLANET VIP-281GS
through sample configuration. And provide several ways to make calls to desired destination in
VIP-281GS. In this section, we’ll lead you step by step to establish your first voice communication
via web browsers operations.

Concepts: Voice port

There are two type of the voice port, Phone (FXS, Foreign exchange Station) on the printing of the RJ-11 port, and GSM on the printing of the SIM port, you should find that.
z
Phone port
The Phone port allows the connection to an end node, like telephone, or out-line of PBX system.
Phone port is as like your local phone service provider who provides a number to you. It is easy to
tell that after you have connected an end-device to Phone port and you will hear the dial-tone from
Phone port once the hand set off-hook.
Caution
0
The Phone port is with voltage and current. DO NOT connects the port to any
PBX extension line or PSTN line. This may make the Phone port or your PBX
extension port malfunction.
FXS
412-1111

or
z
GSM port
The GSM port allows can be inserted a SIM card that already has a fixed number; say 0912-111111.
So the only connections for GSM port will be to your local PSTN or GSM network.
With your GSM connect to GSM network; the Internet Voice can then have a GSM call through this
line/number (0912-111111). Or, locally, you can have an Internet Call through the line 0912-111111.

FAQ
Q1: What is the default administrator password to login to the gateway? A: By default, your default username is “admin”; default password is “123” to login to the
router. For security, you should modify the password to protect your gateway against hacker
attacks.
Note: Default guest login username/password: guest/guest Q2: I forgot the administrator password. What should I do?
A: Press the Reset button on the rear panel for over 5 seconds to reset all settings to default
values.
Q3: What is the default IP address of the router?
A: The default WAN IP address is 172.16.0.1 with subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
Q4: What is different [set to default] and [Factory set to default]? A: Factory set to default, you must push RST button until 5 second, and gateway will clear
all your setting, and let gateway Wan port become the factory default (172.16.0.1). When
you use setting to default by Web or telnet, it will clear all your setting, but the wan port
setting will be saved. If you remote the gateway, after set to default, you can login gateway
again. No reset the gateway wan port again.
Q5: Why can I call out when the gateway under the NAT? A: VoIP product almost has NAT Pass through problem. By SIP, there are many NAT Pass
through Function can solve 80% NAT Problem. You can choose STUN/Outbound Proxy/
Symmetric RTP to Pass through NAT, you don’t set any other setting (DMZ/Virtual Server)
by router side. If you use STUN/Outbound Proxy, you must have a STUN/Outbound Proxy
Server to support. If they can’t pass NAT, please open the DMZ/Virtual Server by
Router/NAT/Firewall.
Q6: Why does the one way talk happen? A: Generally, one way talk happen when use the different codec between VoIP devices
make call. Please check and setting the same codec, most one way talk will be solved.
Q7: Why can I call out by Gateway? A: Please chick your Gateway is registered SIP Proxy Server (ITSP), and chink your
Internet works fine. Gateway can’t make a call without Internet or SIP Account that from
ITSP supply. You must have a SIP account or know the other Gateway IP/Domain Name,
and then you can make a VoIP call.
Q8: Why I use asterisk by G.729 sometimes disconnect happen? A: In asterisk setting VAD must disable, if you open Silence Compression (VAD), it will
make call disconnect happen, please disable the option when you use the asterisk.
Page 53
Q9: Why can I register and use after setting? A: After setting, please save configuration and reboot, after reboot you can use new
configuration.
