Wizard Setup for Quick Start
Wizard Setup
After nishing the authentication, the main menu will display 3 parts of
conguration, please click “Wizard Setup” to enter quick start:
STEP 1: WAN Port Type Setup (Setup First)
For most users, internet access is the primary application. The gateway support
the WAN interface for Internet access and remote access. The following sections
will explain more details of WAN Port Internet access and broadband access setup.
When you click “WAN Port Type Setup” from within the Wizard Setup, the
following setup page will be show:
Three methods are available for Internet Access
Fixed IP User
If you are a leased line user with a xed IP address, ll
out the following items with the information provided by
your ISP.
IP Address check with your ISP provider
Netmask check with your ISP provider
Default Gateway check with your ISP provider

13
ADSL Dial-Up User (PPPoE Enable)
Some ISPs provide DSL-based service and use PPPoE to establish communication
link with end-users. If you are connected to the Internet through a DSL line, check
with your ISP to see if they use PPPoE. If they do, you need to select this item.
Three methods are available for Internet Access
User Name Enter User Name provided by your ISP
Password Enter Password provided by your ISP
Retype Password Enter Password to conrm again
DHCP Client (Dynamic IP): (Get WAN IP address automatically)
IP address: If you are connected to the Internet through a Cable modem line then
a dynamic IP address will be assigned.

14
STEP 2: Conguring NAT or Bridge setting
Bridge Mode:
When working on Bride Mode, the VoIP gateway will use only the LAN setting IP,
The VoIP gateway will use the same LAN IP setting as WAN IP. That mean, When
Bride mode enable, the WAN connection setting will be ignored.
NAT mode:
LAN IP Network Conguration
IP Address Private IP address for connecting to a local private network
(Default: 192.168.0.1)
Subnet Mask Netmask for the local private network
(Default: 255.255.255.0)
STEP 3: VoIP Call Protocol Setup
n Congure VoIP Call Signal Protocols
User could select H.323 or SIP Protocol, and click “select” button

15
n congure the numbering with phone/line ports
Phone Number The representation number is the phone number of the
telephone that is connected to Phone port
Line Number
Line ports are connected to the extension ports of the PBX
system or the PSTN line. They have a common Line Hunting
Group Number. When this number is dialed, the Gateway
system will nd a free FXO line connected to PBX. This
hunting will skip all busy lines and absent lines and nd only
the idle line to the PBX. After the available line is found, you
can hear the dial tone from PBX. After that, you can dial the
needed phone number out through PBX
n Let VIP-GW register to Gatekeeper/SIP proxy server
(If user does not have Gatekeeper/SIP proxy server, please go to STEP 4: Outgoing
Dialing Plan)
Gatekeeper IP address
There is a gatekeeper address elds. If this
gateway does not want to register to any
gatekeeper, just set value 0.0.0.0 to the primary
gatekeeper address.
SIP Proxy Server IP
addresses
There is a SIP proxy server address elds. If this
gateway does not want to register to any SIP
proxy server, just set value 0.0.0.0 to the sip
proxy server address.

16
nOutgoing Dialing Plan
The purpose of “Outgoing Direct Call” setting is to let user create a proprietary
dialing plan when this Gateway is not registered to any H.323 Gatekeeper or any
SIP proxy server. This setting can also assign some dialing plan to local ports
(including prex strip, prex addition).
Through this setting, user can directly map a number to a specic gateway (IP
address).
In the “Outgoing Dial Plan” settings: Maximum Entries : 50
“Leading Number” is the leading digits of the dialing number.
“Min Length” and “Max Length” is the min/max allowed length you can dial.
“Strip Length” is the number of digits that will be stripped from beginning of
the dialed number.
“Prex Number” is the digits that will be added to the beginning of the dialed
number.
“Destination” is the IP address of the destination Gateway that owns this
phone number

17
nFinishing the Wizard Setup
After completing the Wizard Setup, please click “Finish” bottom. The VoIP gateway
will save the conguration and rebooting gateway automatically. After 20 Seconds,
you could re-login the gateway.
Voice communication samples
The chapter shows you the concept and command to help you congure your VoIP
gateway through sample conguration. And provide several ways to make calls
to desired destination in VIP-GW. In this section, we’ll lead you step by step to
establish your rst voice communication via web browsers operations.
Concepts: Voice Port
There are two type of the voice port, FXO (Foreign exchange Ofce) and FXS.
(Foreign exchange Station) On the printing of the RJ-11 port, you should nd that.
FXO port
The FXO port allows the connection with a device that already has a xed number;
say 222, or 412-1111. So the only connections for FXO port will be to your local
PSTN or one of your extension-line from your PBX system.
With your FXO connect to PSTN; the Internet Voice can then have a local call
through this line/number (412-1111). Or, locally, you can have an Internet Call
through the line 412-1111
The same to PBX system, you are required to know with which extension number
to the FXO port. Your PBX users will need to know this number in the future.

Hint
FXO port cannot connect to an end-node like telephone or fax
machine (since they do not provide a number!). If you connect
those to FXO port, you will hear nothing once you pick up the
handset.

18
FXS port
The FXS port allows the connection to an end node, like telephone, fax machine, or
out-line of PBX system.
FXS port is as like your local phone service provider who provides a number to
you. It is easy to tell that after you have connected an end-device to FXS port and
you will hear the dial-tone from FXS port once the hand set off-hook.
