Installing and Configuring the Quintum
Tenor AS Gateway
Introduction
The Quintum Tenor AS is a 2-4 port analog gateway used in NetVanta Unified Communications Server
installations to provide a gateway between internal (SIP) phone calls and the outside phone network
(PSTN). Voice communications from an internal phone have voice over IP (VoIP) signals converted into
traditional analog voice, which is transmitted over the PSTN.
A gateway works in conjunction with the UC server’s SIP Proxy and SIP. All telephony services are
provided through the mutual cooperation of SIP gateways, SIP telephones, SIP proxy and the Core
Application Service.
The following diagram illustrates the UC server’s SIP architecture and its relationship with other
components in a typical customer network.

Interoperability Software Versions
The following gateway version was tested for interoperability:
System Description: Quintum Tenor AS
Hardware Version: P106-02-00
Firmware Version: P106-12-00
Overview of Procedure
To provide its functionality, the Quintum Tenor AS must be connected to the internal LAN (a 100 Mbps
connection is recommended) and from 1-4 PSTN analog phone lines.
The Quintum Tenor AS is primarily configured using a java configuration program. The program must
be installed to configure and manage the gateway.
The basic steps for installation and configuration are:
1. Unpack the Quintum Tenor AS.
2. Mount the Quintum Tenor AS.
3. Connect cables.
4. Power up the Quintum Tenor AS.
5. Set a DHCP IP address reservation for the Quintum Tenor AS based on its MAC address.
6. Run the initial configuration wizard.
7. Configure the UC server to use the Quintum Tenor AS.
Note: Please see the instructions provided by Quintum for steps 1 to 4, and for information about running
and configuring the gateway.
The rest of this document provides instructions for steps 5 to 7, which allow you to configure the
Quintum Tenor AS for operation with the UC server.
Address Reservation
By default, the gateway is configured to use an IP address assigned by DHCP. The gateway can also be
configured to use a static IP address. For routing calls out from the UC server, the Quintum Tenor AS
must have an IP address that does not change.

Initial Configuration
Installing Tenor Configuration Manager
To begin configuration of the Quintum gateway, you must first install the Tenor Configuration Manager.
You can either get it from the CD included with the gateway or at the Quintum support website
(http://www.quintum.com/support).
After you have installed and run the Tenor Configuration Manager, the following screen appears.
Adding the Gateway

PC is running on a different subnet than the gateway, the gateway must be manually added.
To add the gateway automatically
1. Select Discover to automatically detect the gateway.
2. When the wizard finds the gateway, select Connect.

network settings. A static IP address is recommended for a gateway.
3. You can specify whether you want to obtain DNS server addresses automatically or if you want to
manually configure them. If you are using DHCP, you can automatically obtain the DNS server
addresses; otherwise you must manually configure them. Select Next to continue.
