Chapter 1
Overview
This chapter gives an overview of the 4 ports desktop version VoIP Gateway Router (TVP224HR) and a detailed description of its front panel and rear panel.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new TVP-224HR. The TVP-224HR is a multifunction device providing the following services:
Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users.
1
Figure 1: TVP-224HR
1.1 Features
The TVP-224HR is a cost-effective and highly reliable analog Voice over IP
(VoIP) Gateway Router that offers toll quality voice and real-time fax data over IP
networks. With its embedded architecture, the gateway is ideal for VoIP
applications associated with Remote Office and Branch Office (ROBO)
environments. With its built-in user-friendly interface, the gateway may be
installed easily and conveniently to yield immediate cost savings. One VoIP
Gateway supports up to four voice or Fax communications simultaneously.
Implemented with an efficient Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) and flash
memory, the TVP-224HR provides upgradeable capabilities, so it may be
programmed with updated firmware locally or via the network at any time. It
comes equipped with remote management capabilities, configurable signaling to
work with PBX, KTS, and/or telephone. The TVP-224HR utilizes advanced VoIP
related technology. It includes various voice codecs and fax algorithms, echo
cancellation, Voice Activity Detection (VAD) , Comfort Noise Generation
(CNG) , and lost packet recovery algorithms.
12
Internet Access Features
• Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet
through the TVP-224HR, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid)
IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network
Address Translation).
DSL & Cable Modem Support. The TVP-224HR has a 100BaseT Ethernet port
•
for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All popular DSL and Cable Modems are
supported. SingTel RAS and Big Pond (Australia) login support is also included.
PPPoE. The Internet (WAN port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP over
•
Ethernet).
•
Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the TVP-
224HR supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection)
and Fixed IP Address.
Advanced Internet Functions
• Special Internet Applications. Applications which use non-standard connections
or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and allow
such applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.
Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your
•
LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
•
DMZ. One (1) PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way
communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the
ability to run programs which are incompatible with Firewalls.
• QOS. This feature “guarantees” better service to selected traffic on a network. The
goal in configuring QoS is to give priority and attention to certain devices or services
so that they can use the maximum available throughput and speed available on a
certain network when it is needed.
Setup
LAN Features
• DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic
IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The TVP-224HR can act as a
DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.
Configuration & Management
• Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for
configuration.
•
Remote Management. The TVP-224HR can be managed from any PC on your
LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured via
the Internet using a web browser or telnet.
Security Features
• Password - protected Configuration. password protection is provided to prevent
unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
•
NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation)
technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location
and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no
network, only a single device - the TVP-224HR.
13
1.2 Networking Protocols
The TVP-224HR supports several industry-standard networking protocols
required for voice communication. The following table describes these protocols.
Networking Protocol Description
Internet Protocol (IP) IP is a messaging protocol that addresses and sends packets
across the network. To enable IP protocol, the TVP-224HR
must have a Real IP address, subnet, and gateway assigned
to it.
Voice over IP Protocol
(VoIP)
Trivial File Transfer
Protocol (TFTP)
Real-Time Transport
(RTP)
VoIP enables the TVP-224HR to transfer voice
communications over an IP network. The TVP-224HR
employs ITU-T H.323 protocol for setting up calls with
one another.
TFTP allows you to transfer files over the network. The
TVP-224HR implements a TFTP client allowing you to
download new revision firmware from a TFTP server. The
TFTP client requires a TFTP server in your network.
RTP is a standard for transporting real-time data over IP
network. The TVP-224HR uses RTP protocol to send
digitized and compressed voice packets.

Installing the TVP-224HR
This chapter gives information on how to install the TVP-224HR.
2.1 Network Requirements
For the TVP-224HR to successfully operate in your network, your network must
meet the following requirements:
1. A working 10/100 Base-T Ethernet. The TVP-224HR connects to the Internet
via an Ethernet LAN.
2. IP network that supports gateway, and subnet mask. You’ll need a static IP
address to assign the TVP-224HR or a DDNS account for your Dynamic IP.
2.2 Installing the TVP-224HR
Due to the TVP-224HR being used in a desktop configuration, ensure that the
TVP-224HR is placed in a clean, well-ventilated, and vibration-free environment.
When the TVP-224HR is used, be certain that the unit is placed on a sturdy, flat
surface, near a grounded power outlet. At least three inches of clearance must be
provided on both sides of the TVP-224HR for good ventilation.
2
2.3 Connecting to the telephony devices
The 4 port TVP-224HR supports 2 FXO and 2 FXS. Each RJ11 port is for
connecting to telephony devices.
The FXO port is designed for connecting to PBXs or local telephone company
central office switches (CO).
The FXS port is designed for connecting to analog telephone sets, G3 fax
machines.
Warning: connection of incorrect telephony devices to the ports on the TIM can
cause permanent damage to the TIM and/or the TVP-224HR.
2.4 Connecting to the LAN Network
The 4x RJ45 LAN network ports on the rear panel supports 10/100 Mbps halfduplex connections to Ethernet. You can use either Category 3 or 5 straightthrough UTP cable for 10 Mbps connections, but use Category 5 for 100 Mbps
connections. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into one of the 4 RJ45 ports on
the rear panel of the TVP-224HR and other end of the cable to a network device /
PC.
17
2.5 Assigning an IP address to the TVP-224HR
The IP address is the unique logical address identifying each IP node, such as the
TVP-224HR, on an IP network. An IP address is a 32-bit number expressed as
four decimal numbers from 0 to 255 separated by periods. The TVP-224HR can
be configured with a fixed IP address, subnet mask and default gateway. The
TVP-224HR can also be setup as a DHCP. Additionally, the TVP-224HR can also
be configured to use PPPoE. With PPPoE, you will have a Dynamic IP but
combined with Dynamic DNS, the TVP-224HR will automatically notify
DynDNS of your changing IP Address and DynDNS will in turn, map it to your
registered Domain Name. Consult your network manager to obtain a unique and
static IP address for the TVP-224HR, the IP subnet mask and default gateway of
your network, and fill out the work sheet in Appendix D before configuring the
gateway. Procedures for assigning IP address, default gateway and subnet mask is
available in Chapter 4.

To establish a connection from your PC to the TVP-224HR:
1. After installing the TVP-224HR in your LAN, start your PC. If your PC is already running,
restart it.
2. Start your WEB browser.
3. In the Address box, enter "HTTP://" and the IP Address of the TVP-224HR, as in this
example, which uses the TVP-224HR 's default IP Address:
HTTP://192.168.0.1
If you can't connect
If the TVP-224HR does not respond, check the following:
The TVP-224HR is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it is powered
ON. You can test the connection by using the "Ping" command:
• Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
• Enter the command:
ping 192.168.0.1
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your
PC's IP address is not compatible with the TVP-224HR 's IP Address. (See
next item.)
If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range
192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 to be compatible with the TVP-224HR 's default
IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, the Network Mask must be set to
255.255.255.0. See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on checking your
PC's TCP/IP settings.
Ensure that your PC and the TVP-224HR are on the same network segment. (If you
don't have a router, this must be the case.)
4. You will be prompted for a username and password, as shown below.

Figure 2: Password Dialog
• Enter Username and Password. Default User Name and Password are “admin” and
“123” respectively.
• These are the default values. Both the name and password can (and should) be
changed, using the AdministrationPassword page. Once you have changed either the
name or the password, you must use the current values.
Home Screen
After Logging on to the TVP-224HR, you will see the Home screen which is the System Status
page. When you connect in future, you will see this screen when you connect. An example
screen is shown below.

IP address for the TVP-224HR, as seen from the local LAN. Use the
default value unless the address is already in use or your LAN is using
a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an unused IP
Address from within the range used by your LAN.
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")
networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN
segment to which the TVP-224HR is attached (the same value as the
PCs on that LAN segment).
DHCP Server is by default, always on. The TVP-224HR will allocate
IP Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start
up.
If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be Disabled,
and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to treat the
TVP-224HR as the default Gateway. See the following section for
further details.
The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the values
used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP
clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP clients
supported.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.

DHCP
What does DHCP do?
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to a
DHCP Client (PC or device) upon request.
• The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots).
• The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client, as well as
allocating an IP Address.
• The TVP-224HR can act as a DHCP server.
• Windows 95/98/ME and other non-Server versions of Windows will act as a DHCP
client. This is the default Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol.
However, Windows uses the term Obtain an IP Address automatically instead of
"DHCP Client".
• You must NOT have two (2) or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If
your LAN does not have other Routers, this means there must only be one (1) DHCP
Server on your LAN.)
Using the TVP-224HR 's DHCP Server
This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this screen,
you can:
• Enable or Disable the TVP-224HR 's DHCP Server function. Disable the DHCP by
entering “0” in the number of clients field
• Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.
You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices
while using DHCP, provided that the Fixed IP Addresses
are NOT within the range used by the DHCP Server.
Using another DHCP Server
You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP
Server, rather than the TVP-224HR 's, the following procedure is required.
1. Disable the DHCP Server feature in the TVP-224HR. Disable the DHCP by entering “0”
in the number of clients field.
2. Configure the DHCP Server to provide the TVP-224HR 's IP Address as the Default
Gateway.
To Configure your PCs to use DHCP
This is the default setting for TCP/IP under Windows 95/98/ME.
See Chapter 4 - Client Configuration for the procedure to check these settings.

This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal") LAN.
Overview
For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
• TCP/IP network settings
• Internet Access configuration
Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the TVP224HR.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The TVP-224HR uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essential that the
TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.
TCP/IP Settings - Overview
If using the default TVP-224HR settings, and the default Windows TCP/IP
settings, no changes need to be made.
• By default, the TVP-224HR will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a
suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.
• For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a
DHCP client.
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are
required:
• The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the TVP-224HR
• The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.
Do to NAT resolution issues, it is not recommended to
use the TVP-224HR under another Router.
