QuadroE1/T1; (SW Version 3.2.x) 9
Installing QuadroE1/T1
Networking Overview
To establish a connection between the PSTN (or your PBX) and the Internet, a VoIP gate-
way is needed. The QuadroE1/T1 is a VoIP gateway, and will perform the task of connecting
your PSTN (or PBX) via its E1/T1 port to a Private Data Network that includes Quadro SIP
routers (Quadro2x, -4x and/or16x) or the Internet. The QuadroE1/T1 will process and regu-
late the voice traffic between these networks by means of Call Routing paths that are speci-
fied by the administrator according to a dial plan. The QuadroE1/T1 has one additional LAN
port that is used to connect a PC for management purposes. The WAN port transmits up to
10 Mbps, and the LAN port transmits at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
Fig. I-3: Connection overview
Every device within an IP network requires a unique IP address to identify itself. Since the
QuadroE1/T1 connects to both the LAN (Admin PC) and the WAN (Private Data Network or
Internet), it has to be part of both networks, and must have two IP addresses: one for the
WAN side and one for the LAN side. The QuadroE1/T1’s integrated firewall/NAT functional-
ity will hide the LAN IP address from the WAN (Internet) side.
There are two ways of assigning an IP address: statically or dynamically. The Quadro E1/T1
can be configured with a static IP address on the WAN interface. You also can use a DHCP
server assigned IP address on the WAN side.
Please Note: A DHCP client is software that requests an IP address from a DHCP server. A
DHCP server assigns on request a unique IP address to a device. The QuadroE1/T1 acts as
a DHCP client on its WAN interface and as a DHCP server on its LAN interface.

Configuring the QuadroE1/T1
To configure the QuadroE1/T1 basically, four steps are needed:
Step1: Basic Configuration using the System Configuration Wizard and the
Internet Configuration Wizard.
Step 2: Entering the E1/T1 settings provided by your PSTN Provider.
Step 3: Specifying the Call Routing paths according to your dial plan.
The most important settings required in Step 1: Basic Configuration are:
Static IP address for the WAN Interface. If you use a DHCP server, please config-
ure it to deliver a static IP address. In this case, QuadroE1/T1 will get its IP address
automatically, as it acts as a DHCP client on the WAN side.
Bandwidth – used to regulate the number of calls allowed by the QuadroE1/T1 to
avoid degradation in low bandwidth conditions.
Regional Settings - if your QuadroE1/T1 is located outside the United States, it is
important to properly configure your line connections to the PSTN in your location
Firewall - if your QuadroE1/T1 is connected behind a router configure the firewall to
make the QuadroE1/T1 accessible for management.
To customize these settings, connect a PC to QuadroE1/T1's LAN port, log in and complete
the Basic Configuration as described in the following sections.

Uplink Configuration
Select here the WAN Interface Protocol required by you ISP: PPPoE (Point to Point Proto-
col over Ethernet), PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) or Ethernet.
Fig. I-15:Uplink Configuration
If the available bandwidth is used to the point where the quality of an additional IP call would
suffer, then new IP calls are rejected.
The bandwidth provided by your ISP must be specified for both Upstream and Downstream
fields. The default entry in both fields is 10000, the maximum bandwidth of the 10 MB uplink
module. For basic DSL and cable modem service in the United States, typical values are
300 for Upstream and 1500 for Downstream.
The Min Data Rate text field is used to specify the amount of bandwidth reserved for data
applications. The value entered here needs to be smaller that the value specified for Up-
stream Bandwidth.
Specify the WAN Interface Protocol by choosing between available WAN interface proto-
cols: PPPoE (Point to Point over Ethernet), PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) and
Ethernet. Use Ethernet for DHCP or static IP.
For Ethernet,clicking Next will display the WAN IP Configuration page. If PPPoE is the
selected WAN Interface Protocol, the next page will be PPP/PPTP Configuration.For PPTP
WAN Interface Protocol, PPP/PPTP Configuration page will follow the WAN IP Configura-
tion.
