Introduction
TheD-LinkDG-104SHVoIPStationGatewaylinkstraditionaltelephonynetworks
to IP networks with conventional telephony devices such as analog phones or
fax machines. The DG-104SH includes four loop start Foreign Exchange
Subscriber (FXS) interfaces with normal RJ-11 telephone connectors that
provide voice/fax communication over the IP network, and it also provides two
10/100MbpsFast Ethernet ports. OneEthernetportis for a DSL/CableModem
or other WAN devices and the other may function as a connection to create a
home or small office LAN network. Enabling NAT on the DG-104SH will allow
multiple clients to connect to the Internet. It can be configured/monitored via
theConsole, Webbrowser,orTelnetandSNMPmanagement isalsosupported.
By routing calls over the Internet or any IP network, this gateway can reduce or
eliminate long distance or inter-office phone charges. Corporations can also
enjoy the benefits of network consolidation and the reduction of leased lines by
relying on the Internet service providers to deliver toll-quality voice
communications over the IP networks.

AC Power Connector: For the included power adapter. If you use a
power adapter other than the one included with the product, please make
sure that it has a DC output of 12VDC/1A.
Diagnostic Port: An RS-232 serial port used to configure the device.
Plug one end of a straight-through wired RS-232 cable to the device and
the other end to a serial port of a PC running a terminal emulation pro-
gram (such as Microsoft HyperTerminal) or a VT-100 terminal.

Identifying External Components
Fast Ethernet WAN: A 10/100 dual-speed Ethernet port fitted with an
RJ-45 connector used to connect the VoIP gateway to a WAN device
(usually a router). This port accepts Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP cabling with
an RJ-45 connector.
Fast Ethernet LAN: A10/100 dual-speed Ethernet port fittedwithan RJ-
45 connector used to connect the VoIP gateway to a LAN device (hub,
switch, PC, etc.). This port accepts Category 5 or better UTP cabling
with an RJ-45 connector.
Phone 1 to 4: Normal RJ-11 phone jacks used to connect analog (or
digital) telephones and fax machines. Plug your telephone(s) and/or fax
machine directly into any of these jacks.

Installation
When choosing a place to install the VoIP Gateway, please Use the following
guidelines:
The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the device.
Visually inspect the power cord and see that it is secured to the AC
power connector.
Donotplace heavy objects on theDG-104SHat any time. Placingthe
DG-104SH in a well ventilated area is very important. Not doing so
may cause damage to the unit.
When installing the unit on a desktop or shelf, the rubber feet in-
cluded with the device should be attached. These cushioning feet
should be attached to the bottom corners of the device.

Getting Started
Connecting the Network Cable
Category 3, 4, or 5 UTP cable can be used to make an Ethernet connection to
your router.
Connecting the VoIP Gateway to a Hub/Switch
Connecting the VoIP Gateway to a Computer
The DG-104SH requires a straight-through cable when connecting to a
computer. Make sure that your IP address on your Ethernet card is in the same
subnet as the DG-104SH, otherwise it will not connect.
When connecting the LAN port to a Hub/Switch you will need to use a cross-
overcable.

Understanding Indicators
Before configuring your VoIP Gateway, take a few minutes to look over this
section and familiarize yourself with the front panel LED indicators depicted
below.
Power: This LED is lit when the device is receiving power; otherwise, it
is unlit.
WAN: This LED displays the connection speed, link status, and activity
on the 10/100 dual-speed Ethernet port that is used to connect to your
WAN device (usually a DSL/cable modem).
10/100M: This indicator remains unlit when there is no connection, or
the port is operating at 10Mbps through a connection to a 10BASE-T
device. It is lit when the port is operating at 100Mbps through a con-
nection to a dual-speed or 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet device.
Link/Act: When a good link to a powered-up, but idle device is de-
tected on a port, this indicator shines steadily. When packets are re-
ceived from the device, the indicator blinks.


Test: This LED will flash quickly when the DG-104SH is either perform-
ing a self test or booting up. The LED will remain lit when the system is
ready for a connection with the Gatekeeper. It will remain dark when the
system is ready but can not receive an acknowledgement from the
Gatekeeper.

10
Line: Lights when PSTN line is in use.
Phone 1 to 4: Lights when standard phone port is in use.
Note: If a powered-up device is connected to a port and the port’s Link/Act status
indicator is unlit, the most probable cause is a cabling or connection problem
(for example, wrong cable type or bad contact) or a device malfunction.
LAN: ThisLEDdisplaysthe connection speed, link status, and activity on
the 10/100 dual-speed Ethernet port that is used to connect to your LAN.
10/100M: This indicator remains unlit when there is no connection, or
the port is operating at 10Mbps through a connection to a 10BASE-T
device. It is lit when the port is operating at 100Mbps through a con-
nection to a dual-speed or 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet device.
Link/Act: When a good link to a powered-up but idle device is de-
tected on a port, this indicator shines steadily. When packets are re-
ceived from the device, the indicator blinks off and on.
