Device Installation

Unpack the unit and verify shipment content with the packing list :
One GA90 equipment.
One power cable.
2. Device Installation
Chapter 2
One Ethernet cable.
One electronic mannual CD.
Accessories package: 2 GA90 fixers, 8 M3 screws for fixing on GA90, 6 M6 screws for fixing
on 19# rack.
Note: If there is any missing or damage, contact the seller or Zed-3 sales immediately and save
all packages for the repackaging if need.

2.1 Installation Requirements

2.1.1 Power Requirements

Power-off before installation, dismantlement or movement.
The electric outlet shall be installed near the equitment and shall be easily accessible in case
of emergency.

2.1.2 Anti-static Requirements

If the device's power line need to be put outside, take necessary anti-static action please.
Anti-static Requirements
- Static will damage the circuit or the whole machine seriously if static exceed the limitation, so make sure the ground bus well enough.
5
GA90 Modular Gateway User’s Manual
- Static inside body will result in damage too, so please wear anti-static wristband if you have.

2.1.3 Environment Requirements

2.1.3.1 Basic Conditions
Keep the GA90 equipment in a room which has proper control of temperature and humidity, watch out the conductivity of the shelf. Too high or too low humidity will cause short circuit or fire. At the same time, the conductive property of rack is also considerable.
Place the equipment on a rack (if possible) which is near stable and liable power in an anti-fire, anti-humidity, anti-dust, and anti-thief room.
2.1.3.2 Temperature, Humidity, and Illumination
Suggestions:
Temperature: 0 ~ 40
Relative humidity: 5~ 95RH without coagulation
Illumination: light, 500 ~750 lx, light enough for operations.
High humidity will affect the insulating efficiency of insulating materials and also cause the rust of metals. Low humidity will make insulating gasket shrink, loose the fixed bolts, and scrape up static. Long period of high temperature will accelerate components' aging, lower the reliability and reduce the useful time dramatically.
2.1.3.3 Air Quality
The air particulate may enter the equipment through ventholes. Too much dust will cause short-circuit, so the suggestion is less than 180mg/m3. In machinery room, printer and Photocopiers shall be placed away from the power provider in case of floating particulate. Please put it in the diagonal corner.
Keep the room clean, for the dust will cause static and bad connections between little components
2.1.3.4 Ventilation Requirements
There are thermal discharge holes in the back and side side, so keep more than 100mm from other stuffs for thermal discharging.
2.1.3.5 Safety
There must be some safety precautions like securities or other effective anti-thief actions. The lightning rod is well connected to the ground, the ground bus' diameter must be more than 5mm. For seismal zones, there must be anti-earthquake measurements, like fixed balustrade for the rack.

2.2 Preparations

2.2.1 Network Resources

GA90 shall be connected with intra-company network or Internet for different usages. Test your network connectivity and provide a port for this equipment. It is usually connected to a switch or a router.

2.2.2 IP Address

Get an IP address for your GA90 . the setting of IP address, see 3.1.1set GA90 's IP address.
Note: Static IP address is recommended, no matter public or private address. (except DDNS).

2.2.3 Ethernet Cable

Get a standard RJ-45 cable for GA90 .
2. Device Installation

2.2.4 External Line

8FXO card is necessary if you want to call PSTN phones from GA90, connect its FXO port with PSTN with a cable.

2.2.5 Other Soft-switch Accounts

Ask for soft switch accounts and register information like phone number, password, register proxy address, proxy address, register port, outbound proxy address, register expiration etc. if your GA90 need to connect to other softswitchs.

2.2.6 Network Topology

Build your network topology based on GA90 's location and connectivities.

2.2.7 Line Adjustment

Extend the external lines and cables to reach GA90 's ports, if they are too far from the equipment.

2.3 Installation Procedures

GA90 equipment shall be placed on a table or a rack, install it as below steps.
Note: Do not put any heavy thing on the equipment to avoid any damage of the base.
7
GA90 Modular Gateway User’s Manual

2.3.1 Network Connection

Connect the cable with Ethernet LAN port on the back side.

2.3.2 Connect external Line

3. Web Management System
Chapter 3
1. Open IE browser and enter IP address in the address field.
GA90 has a default address: 192.168.0.100. If the default address has been changed, gain it like below: ( if you can not login, see 3.1.1 change GA90 's IP address)
Dail “***” and input password "23646" when you hear the dialing tone of AA after calling
in through FXO port of GA90 , and the equipment will show you the IP address. The SpreeCode and password used here are default, you may change them on the page of AA at Call Settings-System Settings after loging into the web management system.
Or click Reset button for 6 seconds and reset the configurations to the factory default
(including the IP address recovered to default 192.168.0.100).
Note: The Reset button will reset all configurations, not only the IP address.
