Before You Start
Please read this guide thoroughly as it describes the basic installation of
the device. Additional configuration needed to deploy the device in a
specific environment can be performed with the help of online help.
This guide also provides an example of a typical 4562 deployment that
can be used as a guideline for your installation.
Requirements for Installation
•A computer with a web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or
Netscape Navigator or any other browser of your choice
•At least one Ethernet cable
•Following information supplied by the VoIP Service Provider
oIP address of the WAN interface
oif T1 is being used for WAN connection then:
T1 frame format
Layer 2 protocol such as PPP, Frame Relay/DLCIs, HDLC,
etc.
oIP address of the Softswitch

Instructions
Step 1 −Connecting the Cables
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to local LAN port 4 of 4562. This port can be seen
in the area “B” of the above diagram. Connect the other end of the cable to your
computer’s Ethernet port.
2. If T1 is used for the WAN connectivity then perform the following steps, otherwise go to
step 5.

3. Based on the number of functional ports, connect on end of the T1 cable(s) to the T1
port(s) and the other end of the cable(s) to the T1 demarcation unit provided by the
Service Provider.
To reduce the risk of fire, connect the T1 port to the T1 network using only 26
AWG or larger wire such as 24, 22, 20, etc.
4. Skip to step 8.
5. Connect an Ethernet cable between the Ethernet WAN port of 4562, shown in the above
diagram as “D,” and the Ethernet port on a router or a modem.
6. Connect the PSTN lines to ports denoted by “H” in the above diagram.
7. Connect the regular phones or key system to ports denoted by “I” in the above diagram.
8. Plug one end of the power adapter into an AC outlet and the other end into the power
receptacle on 4562. Make sure that the power and status LEDs, shown in the diagram
below as “A” and “B”, are solid green after a short while.

Step 2 −Configuring the EdgeMarc
1. The EdgeMarc device comes preconfigured with 192.168.1.1 local LAN address with a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. So configure your computers Ethernet adapter’s IP
address to any address other than 192.168.1.1 in the same subnet mask, for example
192.168.1.10.
If using a LAN switch then the switch must support 100Mbps full duplex.
2. Launch a web browser on the PC and enter the following URL: http://192.168.1.1 and hit
enter
3. The following login window should appear:
4. Enter “root” in the “User name” field and “default” in the “Password” field.
5. The “System” page should appear next.
6. From the “Configuration Menu” on the left configure the following:
•“Network” – To configure WAN and LAN ports
•Optionally configure “DHCP Server” to suit your needs.

Step 3 −Plan Your Configuration
The EdgeMarc 4562 can be deployed as a gateway router in a network. It can also be deployed
in a network behind an existing firewall. Based on your deployment criteria, consult the following
documents for further configuration:
•EdgeMarc 4500 Series Converged Networking Router Installation Guide
•VoIP Operating System (VOS) for EdgeMarc User Manual
Helpful Hints
Although not recommended, the 4562 and IP phones can be installed behind an existing
enterprise firewall. In this instance the firewall will have to be configured to allow access to and
from the 4562’s public IP address for the following ports:
Port Type Firewall Ports to Open
UDP 161 (SNMP) and 162 (SNMPTRAP)
RTP 1056 to 1255
TCP SSH TCP 22 for remote management & TCP 80 for WAN
configuration-downloads
Telnet 23
FTP TCP 21 for stateful TCP-session control from 4500 to Edgewater
FTP server
MGCP 2427, 2429, 2432, and 2727
NTP 123
SIP 5060 and 5075
IP phones normally point to a local NTP server for their time reference. The NTP port 123
needs to be opened if your network does not have an NTP server.
Please Note: Traffic shaping for this configuration is only available if the enterprise data
devices are also installed behind the 4500.
