telephone socket, using an RJ-11 telephone cable.

• WAN Ethernet: connect the LAN4/WAN port (located on the rear panel and

labeled LAN 4/WAN) to an external modem, using a CAT-5 Ethernet cable.

Note: Use minimum 26 AWG wire for cabling the ADSL port to the public switched

telephone network (PSTN).

2. Connect the LAN Ethernet ports (labeled LAN 1 - 4) to your LAN computers, using

RJ-45 CAT-5 Ethernet cables.

3. Connect the telephone ports (labeled Phone 1 - 2) to analog telephones, using RJ-11

telephone cables.

4. Connect MP252 to a standard 110/220 VAC electrical wall outlet, using the supplied

AC/DC power adapter.

When MP252 is powered on, the Status LED is lit. After initialization completes (about two

minutes), this LED changes from red to green. If no power is received by

MP252, press the Power button located on the rear panel to switch it on.

3.3 Mounting

You can place MP252 on a desktop or mount it on a wall. For desktop mounting, MP252 provides integrated rubber feet on its base so that it sits firmly on a desktop. Alternatively, you can hang your MP252 on a wall, using the supplied MP252 wall-mounting bracket, as described in this section.

Wall mounting consists of the following main procedural stages:

 Preparing the mounting screws on the wall  Hanging the mounting bracket on the wall  Attaching MP252 to the mounting bracket

Before you begin, ensure that you have the following items:

 Wall-mounting bracket (supplied)  2 x screws  2 x wall anchors  Screwdriver

Note: When choosing a wall on which to mount MP252, consider cable limitations and

wall structure.

¾ To wall-mount MP252:

1. Prepare the wall-mounting screws: a. Drill two holes in the wall according to the wall-mounting bracket dimensions. The

vertical distance between the holes should be 83 mm (3.27 inches).

b. Insert a wall anchor into each hole.

MP252 Multimedia Home Gateway 30 Document #: LTRT-23504

Page 35

MP252 Multimedia Home Gateway 3. Hardware Description

c. Using a screwdriver, drive screws of the appropriate size into the anchors, leaving

approximately 4 mm (0.16 inches) of the screw head jutting out. This protrusion will allow you to hang the mounting bracket on the screw head.

Figure 3-6: MP 252 Wall Mount Bracket

2. Hang the mounting bracket on the wall screws: a. Gently slide the mounting bracket onto the lower screw so that the screw enters the

bracket's bottom screw groove rail. As you lower the bracket onto the screw, ensure that the upper screw fits into the bracket's top screw groove.

b. Gently pull down on the mounting bracket so that both screw heads sit firmly and

securely in the top notch of the screw grooves.

3. Attach MP252 to the wall-mounting bracket: a. Three slits at the base (bottom) of MP252 are covered by rubber caps. Remove

these caps.

b. With its rear panel facing the mounting bracket, hold MP252 at an angle and slide

the base of MP252 under the two latches located on the mounting bracket.

c. Align the three slits on the MP252 base with the three protruding humps located on

the front of the mounting bracket. Align the clip holes on either side of MP252 with the clips on the mounting bracket.

d. While gently pressing down on MP252, press the clips inwards so that the clips

snap into the base of MP252.

4.5.2 Defining Network Objects

Network objects is a method used to logically define a set of LAN hosts, according to one or more MAC address, IP address, and host name. Defining such a group can assist when configuring other system rules. For example, you can use network objects to apply security rules based on host names instead of IP addresses. This may be useful, since IP addresses change from time to time. Moreover, it is possible to define network objects according to MAC addresses, making rule application more persistent against network configuration settings.

7.2 Using the Automatic Dialer for Internet Connection

The Automatic Dialer feature allows the service provider to use one type of pre-configured MP252 for all the following Internet connection types:

 WAN Ethernet (DHCP, LT2P or PPPoE)  WAN ADSL (PPPoE)

In the Private Labeling process, the factory setting is burned with the parameters of the different dialers. When powered-up at the customer site, MP252 first detects the physical WAN type (ADSL or Ethernet) and then attempts the relevant WAN connection methods. The indication for a successful result is connection (i.e., receipt of an IP address) and a ping test.

This section describes the recommended process for using the Automatic Dialer.

Notes:

• If the Automatic Dialer feature is shipped pre-configured (i.e., enabled),

then MP252 automatically detects the Internet dialer type and therefore, configuration of the Internet connection is not necessary. However, it is

recommended to manually configure the Internet connection after the

Automatic Dialer process has completed (successfully or not).

• If you manually configure the Internet connection in the Web interface, the

Automatic Dialer feature becomes disabled.

7.2.1 Recommended Configuration

The recommended factory settings for the Automatic Dialer feature are shown below:

(auto_dialer_detect

(enabled(1))

(done(0))

7.2.2 Setting up and Starting the Automatic Dialer

The procedure below describes how to setup and start the Automatic Dialer feature.

¾ To setup and start Automatic Dialer:

1. Power off the MP252.

2. Connect the ADSL or Ethernet cables.

Note: If you are using an ADSL connection, DO NOT connect any cable to the

WAN/LAN4 port. Connecting this port causes the Automatic Dialer to fail.

3. Power on the MP252; the Automatic Dialer begins its operation and you can view the

progress status by checking the MP252 LEDs (see Section 3.1.1.2.2 on page 26).

Notes:

• If the connection is ADSL, the Automatic Dialer usually connects in the first

iteration (after less than 10 seconds, when configuring manual PVC). In some cases, the Automatic Dialer may connect in the second iteration (up to 4 minutes).

• If the connection is WAN Ethernet:

- For DHCP, the connection is fast.

- For L2TP, the connection takes up to ~2 minutes.

- For PPPoE, the connection can take up to ~4 minutes.

¾ To quit Automatic Dialer and manually configure the Internet connection:

1. Power off the MP252.

2. Disconnect the WAN ADSL or Ethernet cable.

3. Power on the MP252.

4. Wait for the Automatic Dialer process to end (i.e., the Broadband LED stops blinking).

5. Log in to the MP252 Web interface.

6. Manually configure the Internet connection using the 'Quick Setup' screen (see Section

7.1 on page 57). This ensures that the Automatic Dialer feature does not re-activate

itself after the MP252 resets.

Once the MP252 successfully connects to the Internet, it downloads its configuration file from the server.

Note: The configuration file must include the following parameter to indicate that

Automatic Dialer is no longer needed: auto_dialer_detect/done = 1.

MP252 Multimedia Home Gateway 8. Configuring VoIP Parameters

8.1.1 Configuring Proxy Redundancy

The Redundant Proxy feature allows the configuration of a backup SIP proxy server to increase Quality of Service (QoS). Once this feature is enabled, MP252 identifies cases where the primary proxy does not respond to SIP signaling messages. In these cases, MP252 registers to the redundant proxy and seamlessly continues normal functionality, without any noticeable connectivity failure or malfunction with the primary proxy.

The Redundant Proxy feature includes two operational modes:

 Asymmetric mode: This mode assigns the primary proxy a higher priority for

registration over the redundant proxy. Once MP252 is registered to the primary proxy, it sends keep-alive messages (using SIP OPTIONS messages) to the primary proxy. If the primary proxy does not respond, MP252 registers to the redundant proxy, but continues sending keep-alive messages to the primary proxy. If the primary proxy responds to these keep-alive messages, MP252 re-registers to the primary proxy.

 Symmetric mode: In this mode, both proxies are assigned the same priority for

registration. Once MP252 is registered to a proxy (primary or redundant), it sends keep-alive messages to this proxy. MP252 switches proxies only once the proxy to which it has registered does not respond.

In both modes, the following applies:

 If MP252 is not registered (i.e., if the proxy server - redundant or primary - to which

MP252 currently tries to register does not respond), MP252 attempts to register to an alternative proxy. These attempts continue until MP252 successfully registers.

 If this feature is enabled and you reboot MP252, it registers to the last proxy to which it

was trying to register (not necessarily to the primary proxy).

¾ To configure proxy redundancy:

1. From the menu bar, click the Voice Over IP menu; the Signaling Protocol tab screen

appears.

2. Define a primary proxy server (under the SIP Proxy and Registrar group): a. Select the ‘Use SIP Proxy’ check box.

b. In the 'Host Name or Address' field, enter the primary proxy's IP address. c. In the 'Proxy Port' field, enter the primary proxy's port number.

3. Define a redundancy proxy server (under the SIP Proxy and Registrar group): a. Select one of the following check boxes: 'Use SIP Registrar' or 'Use SIP Proxy IP

and Port for Registration'.

a. Select the 'Use Redundant Proxy' check box. b. In the 'Redundant Proxy Address' field, enter the redundant proxy's IP address or

DNS name.

c. In the 'Redundant Proxy Port' field, enter the redundant proxy's port number.

Complete dialing key

Dial Tone Timeout

Reorder Tone Timeout

Defines the duration (in seconds) of allowed inactivity between dialed digits. When you work with a proxy, the number you have dialed before the dialing process has timed out is sent to the proxy as the user ID to be called. This is useful for calling remote parties without creating a speed dial entry (assuming the remote party is registered with the proxy).

Defines the maximum length of shortcut numbers that you can enter and the maximum number of digits that you can dial.

When selected (default), you can define a key that when pressed forces MP252 to make a call to the dialed digits even if there is no match in the dial plan or digit map. The key is defined in the ‘Complete dialing key’ field, which appears when this parameter is selected.

Note: This parameter appears only in 'Advanced' mode.

Defines the key that when pressed forces MP252 to make a call to the dialed digits even if there is no match in the dial plan or digit map. The default value is the pound (#) key.

Note: This parameter is available only if the ‘Enabled dialing complete key’ is

selected.

Defines the duration of the dial tone (in seconds). If the limit is exceeded, the dial tone stops and you a reorder tone is played.

Defines the duration (in seconds) of the reorder tone. The reorder tone is played, for example, when MP252 receives a SIP 486 response. If the limit is exceeded, the reorder tone stops and a howler tone is played.

Note: This parameter appears only in 'Advanced' mode.

Unanswered call timeout

Howler Tone Timeout

Note: This parameter appears only in 'Advanced' mode.

Defines the key sequence with the flash button:

 ‘Flash only’ (default) = uses only the phone's Flash button. There are

three scenarios:

9 During an existing call, if the user presses Flash, the call is put on

hold, a dial tone is heard and the user is able to initiate a second call. Once the second call is established, on-hooking transfers the first (held) call to the second call.

9 During an existing call, if the user presses Flash, the call is put on

hold and a dial tone is heard. The user can initiate a second call and establish a 3-way conference by again pressing Flash after the second call is initiated.

9 During an existing call, if a call comes in (call waiting), pressing Flash

puts the active call on hold and answers the waiting call; pressing Flash again toggles between these two calls.

 ‘Flash + digits sequence’ = Flash button with a key sequence:

9 Flash + 1 holds a call or toggles between two existing calls. 9 Flash + 2 makes a call transfer. 9 Flash + 3 establishes a 3-way conference.

 'Send Flash Hook Via SIP' = you can modify the SIP INFO message that

is sent upon Flash. You can change the Content Type header field and Message Body field.

Note: This parameter appears only in 'Advanced' mode.

SIP INFO Header

SIP INFO Body

When the key sequence is set to 'Send Flash Hook Via SIP', you can modif the Content Type header field of the SIP INFO message.

For example: "application/broadsoft; version = 1.0"

Note: This parameter appears only when the ‘Flash keys sequence style’

For example: " event flashhook"

Note: This parameter appears only when the ‘Flash keys sequence style’ field is set to 'Send Flash Hook Via SIP'.

8.2.1 Syntax for Digit Maps and Dial Plans

Digit maps and dial plans are defined using special syntax rules, configured in the 'Dialing' screen (see Section 8.2 on page 78).

 Digit Maps: A phone's digit map allows MP252 to know when an entered telephone

number is complete and therefore, when it should initiate the call. If the phone digit map is defined incorrectly, MP252 might start to dial before the telephone user has entered

Version 3.4.0 81 June 2011

Page 86

User's Manual

all the required digits. A digit map is defined either by a (case insensitive) "string" or by a list of strings. Each string in the list is an alternative numbering scheme, specified either as a set of digits or as an expression over which MP252 attempts to find a shortest possible match. The syntax that can be used in each numbering scheme is described in the table below.

 Dial Plans: A dial plan translates specific patterns into specific SIP destination

addresses. For example, dial plan rule "4xxx=Line_\\\@10.1.2.3" sends a dialed number consisting of the digit “4” followed by any three digits to IP address 10.1.2.3. The syntax of the pattern on the left of the '=' sign is described in the table below.

Parameter Description

Quality of Service Parameters Type of Service (Hex)

This is a part of the IP header that defines the type of routing service to be used to tag outgoing voice packets originated from MP252. It is used to inform routers along the way that this packet should get specific QoS. Leave this value as 0xb8 (default) if you are unfamiliar with the Differentiated Services IP protocol parameter.

Codecs

1st - 6th Codec Defines the voice codec. For more information, see 8.3.1 on page 84.

8.3.1 Configuring Codecs

Codecs define the method of relaying voice data. Different codecs have different characteristics, such as data compression and voice quality. For example, G.723 is a codec that uses compression, so it is good for use where bandwidth is limited but its voice quality is not as good compared to other codecs such as the G.711.

8.3.1.1 Supported Codecs

To make a call, at least one codec must be enabled. Moreover, all codecs may be enabled for best performance. When you start a call to a remote party, your available codecs are compared against the remote party's to determine the codec used. The priority by which the codecs are compared is according to their order of appearance in the table (descending order). To change the priorities, rearrange the codecs in the required order.

If there is no codec that both parties have made available, the call attempt fails. Note that if more than one codec is common to both parties, you cannot force which of the common codecs that were found are used by the remote party's client. If you do wish to force the use of a specific codec, leave only that codec checked.

8.3.1.2 Packetization Time

The Packetization Time is the length of the digital voice segment that each packet holds. The default is 20 millisecond packets. Selecting 10 millisecond packets reduces the delay but increases the bandwidth consumption.

8.4 Configuring Voice and Fax

The procedure below describes how to configure the voice and fax parameters.

¾ To configure voice and fax parameters:

Parameter Description

CED Transfer Mode

Enable CNG Detection

Switch To Fax Only By The Answering Side

 By Fax Relay: When MP252 is the receiver side, Switch to Fax relay is

enabled upon CED. This allows a high reliable fax-over-IP call establishment at the beginning of CED tone.

 In Voice Or PCM Bypass: When MP252 is the receiver side, to avoid

possible conflicts with low-speed modems, the CED (ANS) relay by FoIP protocol may be disabled by setting the CED transfer mode to ‘In Voice Or PCM Bypass’. In this case, MP252 does not initiate the Fax Relay on detecting CED tone in absence of CNG, but switches to VBD or remains in voice mode (depends on the Modem Transport Mode). MP252 switches to FoIP later when it defines exactly that a monitored call is the fax call (CED and CND or V.21 Preamble).

Enables detection of the fax CNG signal. When the local fax machine connected to MP252 receives a fax, MP252 switches to T.38 fax relay upon detection of the CED signal from the remote fax. If the local fax machine sends a fax, MP252 switches to T.38 only after detecting the CNG signal from the local side and the CED signal from the remote side. If this check box is selected, MP252 switches to T.38 relay immediately upon detection of the CNG signal from the local side, without waiting for the CED signal from the remote side. The default is disabled.

Typically, switching to fax mode is the responsibility of the answering side. However, in some cases, the sending machine can also switch to fax mode. If this check box is marked, the sending machine does not switch to fax, but allows the answering side to detect the fax and switch to fax mode.

8.6 Configuring Line Settings

Before you can make phone calls, you need to configure lines. Lines are SIP logical ID numbers (i.e., telephone numbers), which are registered to the SIP proxy server, and for which you are charged for calls you make on it.

MP252 supports two line-configuration modes:

 One-Line Configuration: In this mode, only one line is configured to represent all the

physical telephone extensions on MP252 (i.e., two analog phones and five DECT handsets):

• When you receive an incoming call, all the extensions on the line ring, and you can

answer from any one of them. When you do answer, the other extensions stop ringing.
