General information
About the IP Gateway (IP GW)
The IP GW is a voice and video gateway that allows calls to be made between pairs of
IP endpoints that cannot normally connect directly to each other. A second Ethernet
port allows for connections between two completely independent networks of
endpoints. A built-in auto attendant and support for manual operators allow easy
connection of calls where a caller cannot directly address the destination endpoint.
The IP GW translates call signalling (for example, between SIP and H.323) and can
connect between almost any two endpoints. The IP GW can transcode all media to
ensure the call takes place.

Table 1 describes the behavior of the LEDs.
Table 1: IP GW LED behavior
LED Color Indicates
Compact Flash Activity Flashing
green
One of:
the IP GW is booting
a configuration change has been made
the configuration is being transferred
by FTP
Console Link Green A PC is connected to the console port
Status Green The IP GW is operating normally
Alarm Red The IP GW is booting or has developed a
fault, for example:
temperature is outside normal limits
fan failure
battery failure of the internal clock
Refer to the web interface for more
information about the problem (go to
Status > Health)
System Load Green The IP GW is processing data. The LEDs
represent the media processing load of the
IP GW. The column numbered 1
represents audio load. The other columns
represent video DSP load. Media
processing load is also displayed in the web
interface: go to
Status > General to see
the percentage load
