Chapter 1: Introduction
The Pocket VoIP Gateway offers a user-friendly web-based management interface
for the configuration of all the unit’s features. Any PC directly attached to the unit can
access the management interface using a web browser, such as Internet Explorer
(version 6.0 or above), Firefox (version 1.5 or above), or Opera (version 8.51 or
above).
The initial configuration steps can be made through the web browser interface using
the Setup Wizard. It is recommended to make the initial changes by connecting a
PC directly to the Pocket VoIP Gateway’s LAN port.
Operating Modes
The Pocket VoIP Gateway operates in one of three possible modes:
• Gateway
• Wireless Client
• Access Point
The Pocket VoIP Gateway’s Setup Wizard and Advanced Configuration menus
display only settings that are valid for the current operating mode. Before making
any configuration settings, be sure the unit is operating in the mode you want to use.
In its default Automatic Configuration setting, the unit starts in Gateway mode if the
WAN port has a valid connection. If the WAN port has no connection, it starts in
Wireless Client mode.
To set the unit in Access Point mode requires manual configuration. After logging in,
you must first use the Advanced Setup menu to set the mode. See “Manually Setting
the Operating Mode” on page 1-3.
Accessing the Web Management Interface
The Pocket VoIP Gateway has a default IP address of 192.168.7.1 and a subnet
mask of 255.255.255.0. If your PC uses DHCP or has an IP address on the same
subnet (that is, the PC and Pocket VoIP Gateway addresses both start 192.168.7.x),
you can connect immediately to the web interface. Otherwise, you must first change
your PC’s IP address to be on the same subnet as the Pocket VoIP Gateway.

Chapter 2: Using the Setup Wizard
The PocketVoIP Gateway can automatically configure its operating mode for use as
a gateway or wireless client. However, it still requires some manual configuration for
other modes, its WAN port connection, wireless settings, and VoIP functions. The
Setup Wizard takes you through the basic configuration steps for the current
operating mode.
Note: The Setup Wizard steps depend on the current operating mode. You should first
make sure the Pocket VoIP Gateway starts in the mode that you want to use.
Launching the Setup Wizard – To perform basic configuration, click Start with
Setup Wizard on the main menu.
Figure 2-4. Starting the Setup Wizard
The following sections detail the necessary steps in configuring the Pocket VoIP
Gateway in each of its operating modes.
Gateway
When configuring the unit to operate as a gateway, you will need to proceed through
the following four steps:
1. Settings – The Settings page takes you through the wireless SSID (Service Set
Identifier) configuration.

Using the Setup Wizard
2-2

Figure 2-5. Gateway Settings
ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier) – The ESSID is a name that uniquely
identifies the wireless network provided by the Pocket VoIP Gateway. Clients
that want to connect to the wireless network must set their SSID to the same as
that of the Pocket VoIP Gateway.
SSID Broadcast – Check this box to disable broadcasting the configured
ESSID. The Pocket VoIP Gateway is configured by default as an “open
system,” which broadcasts a beacon signal including the configured ESSID.
Wireless clients with a configured SSID of “ANY” can read the SSID from the
beacon, and automatically set their SSID to allow immediate connection to the
Pocket VoIP Gateway. When disabled, the Pocket VoIP Gateway does not
include its ESSID in beacon messages. This provides a basic level of security,
since wireless clients must be pre-configured with the ESSID to connect to the
Pocket VoIP Gateway.
2. WAN Type – The WAN Type page is for specifying the WAN port connection to
your Internet service provider (ISP). When one of the four options is specified,
the Wizard displays the appropriate configuration parameters.

supplied by your ISP. (Range: 1-32 characters)
Password – Specify the password for your xDSL connection, as supplied by
your ISP. (Default: No password)
Service Name – Enter the xDSL service name (if any) as supplied by your ISP.
MTU (1400~1492) – The Maximum Transmission Unit for Ethernet data
transmission. Only change the default value if specifically instructed by your
ISP. (Range: 1400~1492 bytes)
Maximum Idle Time (1~99) – The maximum length of inactive time the unit will
stay connected to the xDSL service provider before disconnecting. This feature
only works when Auto-Reconnect is selected. (Range: 1~99 minutes)

4. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) – The VoIP page allows you to configure
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) parameters for enabling Internet telephony.
VoIP service providers operate SIP “proxy servers” that allow you to register
your Pocket VoIP Gateway on their system so that you can make telephone
calls over the Internet. Your VoIP service provider will provide you with the
connection details that need to be set up on the Pocket VoIP Gateway to be
able to use their service.
Figure 2-10. Gateway VoIP Configuration
Proxy Server Address – Address of the VoIP service provider proxy server.
Proxy Server Port – The TCP port number used by the VoIP service provider’s
proxy server. (Default: 5060)

Wireless Client
When configuring the unit to operate as a wireless client, you will need to proceed
through the following two steps:
1. Settings – The settings page takes you through the process of searching and
selecting the access point to which you want to connect.
If you know the SSID of the wireless network, you can enter it directly in the text
box provided. Otherwise, you may perform a wireless scan to detect all access
points that are within range, and then select the access point you want to
connect to from a list.
Figure 2-11. Wireless Client Settings
Site Survey – Performs a wireless scan on all channels to detect all nearby
access points. A list of deteced access points is displayed from which you can
select an access point to connect to.
Selected AP SSID – Enter the service set identifier of the wireless network you
want to connect to. The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32
alphanumeric characters.
WEP Key – WEP (Wireless Equivalent Privacy) provides a basic level of
security in wireless networks, it prevents unauthorized access by encrypting
data transmitted between wireless clients and an access point. WEP uses static
shared keys (fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings) that are
manually distributed to all clients that want to use an access point. If the
wireless network you are connecting to uses WEP security, you need to enter
the WEP key provided to you by the network operator.
Show Connection Status – Displays the connection status of the unit to the
selected access point.
