③ Set the connection parameters of the console emulation program by the following steps
below:
(For more details on the connection parameters, refer to the user guide of the console
emulation program.)
 Port: COM port number of the computer where the serial cable is connected.
 Baud rate: 115200 bps
 Data Bits: 8
 Parity: None
 Stop Bits: 1
 Flow Control: None
The example below displays the console through the serial interface after booting the CG-410 is
completed successfully.

6.1.3. Configuring the Network System
① Select [System Configuration] on the left side, and then choose [Network] to enter the
network configuration page.
② Set each configuration parameters with appropriate value.
Item Description Default
External Enet
Address
Indicates the external Enet address of your CG-410. It is
recommended that you do not change the default value.
External
Enet
Address
NAT
Enable: CG-410 exercises as NAT router. Thus CG-410’s
LAN port connected to the PC or network devices is able to
contact external network with its private IP address.
Disable: CG-410 exercises as HUB. Thus CG-410’s LAN
port connected to the PC or network devices has the same
enable

18
IP address on the same subnet as CG-410.
Private
Network
Address
When CG-410 uses NAT and DHCP server, it assigns the
private IP address field to CG-410’s LAN port connected to
the PC or network devices with the value that you set.
Ex) 192.168.120.1
120
DHCP server CG-410 exercises as DHCP server. enable
DHCP Pool
When CG-410 exercises as DHCP server, it assigns the
private IP addresses to CG-410’s LAN port connected to the
PC or network devices within this pool.
Ex) 192.168.120.4 ~ 192.168.120.135
4~135
6.2. Configuring the Port Mapping
Applying the Port Mapping function allows you to operate some server programs on your computer
that is connected to the CG-410’s LAN port.
The following example illustrates how you can operate the FTP server on the PC (192.168.120.9).
 Direction (Incoming)
 Protocol (TCP)
 Client IP Address (192.168.120.9)
 Client Port (21)
 NAT Port (21)
 Push Insert button.
This procedure lets all the TCP data coming into the 21 port of CG-410 to be delivered to the 21 port
on the PC (192.168.120.9).
The following example illustrates how you can operate the FTP server on another PC
(192.168.120.22).
 Direction (Incoming)
 Protocol (TCP)
 Client IP Address (192.168.120.22)

19
 Client Port (80)
 NAT Port (80)
 Press Insert button to restart.
Similarly, all the TCP data coming into the 80 port of CG-410 will be delivered to the 80 port of the PC
(192.168.120.22).
6.3. Configuring the VoIP
Before using the VoIP functions of your CG-410, make sure the settings related to a specific VoIP
protocol are configured correctly. CG-410 supports both H.323 and SIP protocols. Please contact ITSP
or the network administrator for more information on VoIP configurations.
6.3.1. Configuring the CG-410 for H.323
① Select [System Configuration] on the left side, and then choose [VoIP] to enter the VoIP
configuration page.
② Set each configuration parameters with appropriate value.
Refer to the following table about the details of each field.

to register with the gatekeeper. disable
H.323 ID Set the H.323 ID in this tab. Clip
Enable E.164
ID
Once enabled, CG-410 uses the E.164 ID as one of its aliases
to register with the gatekeeper. disable
