Be sure to pay attention to cooling. Because the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway has
side-to-side cooling, the design of the rack should allow for adequate airflow on
either side of the unit. Refer to the rack manufacturer’s specification for suitable
mounting methods.

Step 1 Connect the earthing cable as described in the “Caution” in Hardware Installation.
Step 2 Connect the mains power cable.
Note Install the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway in a place that is near the mains
power socket-outlet. Install the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway in a place
from which you can reach the mains outlet easily.
Step 3 Connect the 10/100 Ethernet cable.
Front Panel Indicators
The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway unit includes 10 LEDs on its front panel. They
show unit status information. This section describes the front panel indicators that
Figure 3 shows.
Figure 3 Front View
STATUS
The four red STATUS LEDs are labelled S3, S2, S1 and S0. They indicate unit
status in conjunction with the two port LEDs, P1 and P2. During unit self-test, the
status LEDs will come on and go off in sequence, and, in the event of a self-test
failure, stop with one LED remaining on.

LAN
Three LEDs indicate LAN activity. The TxD LED flashes amber on transmission
of a packet. The Link/RxD LED flashes green on receipt of a packet. The green
Speed LED is ON for 100 Mbit/s or OFF for 10Mbit/s. If Ethernet is not
connected, these LEDs will remain off.
Note The RxD LED will flash for any traffic on the Ethernet, regardless of destination.
P1 and P2
The two amber Port LEDs are labelled P1 and P2. Together with the STATUS
LEDs, they indicate unit status. When the unit is operating normally and all is
well, these LEDs turn on and off every few seconds with all STATUS LEDs off.
When a problem exists, the Port LEDs will show the problem’s location (P1 or P2,
or if both P1 and P2 are lit, a major alarm exists). The STATUS LEDs will then
indicate the problem. If more than one has a problem, they will be shown in a
cycle of 5 seconds each.
Power
The Power LED includes two functions. When power is applied, it comes on amber
to indicate that the unit is in self-test mode. When the self-test satisfactorily
completes, the LED changes to green to indicate that the unit is functioning
correctly.
Back Panel Equipment
This section describes the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway back panel ports and
switches that are shown in Figure 4.

Ports
Ethernet
The 10/100 Base-T Port gets used to connect to the IP Network to allow voice
packets to be transmitted and received and for a PC that is using a Web browser
to communicate with the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway configuration and
management interface.
Port 1 & Port 2
Each port includes three connectors. The two BNC connectors, which are 75-ohm
unbalanced, are marked Rx and Tx. The RJ45 connector is 120-ohm balanced.
The Impedance Switch must be set to the correct impedance. Be aware that
parameters for each port are configurable by using the Gateway Management
Interface on a Web browser.
Craft Port
The Craft Port primarily enables a serial connection to a dumb terminal or a
terminal emulation application on a PC that is running RS-232 at 9600 baud, 8 bit,
1 stop bit, and no parity.

Alarm Port
If required, you can connect the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway Alarm port to an
alarm signal detector before powering on the unit.
Switches
Power On/Off
Find the power On/Off switch (I / O) adjacent to the mains connector.
Caution Before connecting any cables or changing any switches, power off the Cisco
VG30D Voice Gateway.
POST
Ensure the Power On Self Test (POST) switch is set in the POST position before
powering on the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway unit. Be aware that the Factory
position is for Cisco Systems, Inc., engineers only.
Impedance Switches
These switches allow the selection of either 75-ohm or 120-ohm impedance for
the SCN ports. Use 75 ohms for coaxial BNC connection (BNC position), and use
120 ohms for UTP RJ45 connectivity (RJ45 position).
Caution Make this selection before power is applied to the unit.
Craft Switch
Use the Craft switch to switch between serial connection for initialising the Cisco
VG30D Voice Gateway and Factory Engineering management. By default, the
switch should remain set to Craft.

Power On Self Test and IP Address Setup
Power On Self Test and IP Address Setup
On powering ON the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway, the unit will perform a
self-test. The Power LED on the front panel shows amber, and the four STATUS
LEDs come on and go off (in sequence from left to right) to indicate that the unit
is performing the self-test. These tests check the correct operation of the hardware
and start the operational software. This process should complete in less than 1
minute.
Successful Self-Test
When all the tests have completed successfully and the software is operational, the
Power LED changes colour from amber to green. Approximately 30 seconds later,
you can log in to the web-based Gateway Management Interface.
The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway configuration includes the default IP address
of 192.168.1.1 and sub-net mask 255.255.255.0.
Proceed as follows:
Step 1 Connect the ethernet port of the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway directly to the
ethernet port of a PC.
Step 2 Open a web browser and enter 192.168.1.1 directly into the IP address bar.
Note You may need to change the IP address and sub-net mask of your
computer to be on the same sub-net.
Step 3 Log in to the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway by using Advanced (case sensitive)
for both Username and Password.
Step 4 Browse to Configuration/Gateway/Set IP Address.
Step 5 Set Gateway Management IP Address,Set Gateway Management Subnet
Mask, and if required, Set Management Default Gateway Address and click the
Submit button.

Note The set parameters will get used the next time that the Cisco VG30D
Voice Gateway is re-booted, but the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway will
remain accessible through the active connection until then.
The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway may now be powered OFF, and installed and
connected to the IP network (accessible through the new IP address), or you may
continue with further configuration by using the Gateway Management Interface
as described in Sections 3 and 4 of the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway User Guide.
Self-Test Failure
If any test in the sequence fails, the cycle of the STATUS LEDs will stop (with
one LED remaining on) and the Power LED will remain AMBER.
You can obtain details of any failures if the unit undergoes the self-test when
connected from the Craft Port to a dumb terminal or a terminal emulation
application on a computer that is running RS-232 at 9600 baud, 8 bit, 1 stop bit
and no parity or flow control.
If an error is reported, consult the “Fault Determination” section in the
Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway User Guide for the appropriate corrective action or
call your support contact. After errors have been corrected, make sure that the
self-test runs satisfactorily to completion and proceed as described in the
Successful Self-Test section.
Warranty Terms
The following are special terms applicable to your hardware warranty.
Duration of Hardware Warranty: One (1) Year
Replacement, Repair or Refund Procedure for Hardware: Cisco or its service
center will use commercially reasonable efforts to ship a replacement part within
ten (10) working days after receipt of the RMA request. Actual delivery times
