5. Insert the SCOPIA100 Gateway unit into the 19-
inch rack.
6. Fasten the brackets to the side rails of the rack.
7. Make sure that the air vents at the sides of the
SCOPIA100 Gateway unit are not blocked.
ASSIGN AN IP
ADDRESS TO THE
GATEWAY
The first time you install the Gateway, you assign an IP address
using a terminal cable connection. This allows you to access the
boot configuration menu of the Gateway. At power-up, the
Gateway goes through the following boot phases:
Auto-boot—The embedded operating system initializes
and displays basic information.
Configuration menu—A six-second countdown allows
you to enter the configuration menu.
Initialization—The Gateway completes its boot
sequence and is ready for operation.
Note You can only perform serial port configuration of the
Gateway at startup, during a short period indicated by a
six-second countdown. Once the initialization phase is
complete, the only way you can enter the configuration menu is
by restarting the Gateway.

Assign an IP Address to the Gateway 9
CONNECT TO APC You make the serial connection by connecting a PC terminal
equipped with a terminal emulation application to the front panel
serial port of the Gateway.
 Procedure
1. Run a terminal emulation application (such as
HyperTerminal) on the PC.
2. Configure the communication settings for the PC
serial port as follows:
9600 Baud rate
8 data bits
1 stop bit
No parity
No flow control
3. Connect a terminal cable to the PC terminal.

CONNECT TO THE
IP NETWORK Use the supplied LAN cable to connect the Ethernet IP network port on the front panel of the Gateway to a 10/100Base-T IP
network connection on your network hub.
CONNECT TO THE
ISDN NETWORK
(PRI AND BRI
GATEWAYS ONLY)
Use the appropriate cables to connect the PRI/BRI ISDN ports to
your PBX or direct PRI/BRI line connection.
CONNECT TO THE
SERIAL
INTERFACE
(SERIAL
GATEWAYS ONLY)
Line cables are attached to the Gateway via a DB-60 connector
that provides the serial line connection for the Gateway serial
ports.ThecablesareY-type withsplit leadsat theremote end.On
one side is either a V.35, RS-449 or EIA-530 connector. On the
other side is an RS-366 connector.
Gateway terminal adapter cables have either a DTE or a DCE
interface.
The Gateway can identify which type of cable has been
connected to its DB-60 serial ports. Cable configuration settings
are automatically displayed in the Physical Interface section of
the Port tabs. The automatically configured settings are shown in
DTE/DCE Interface Configuration Options on page 6.
Note If the Physical Interface section of the Port tabs is
displayed while you are connecting a cable to the Gateway, exit
the screen and then return to see the displayed cable
configuration settings.
CONFIGURE THE
GATEWAY Once you have assigned an IP address to the Gateway, you can use the web interface to configure and monitor the Gateway.
 Procedure
1. In your web browser, enter the IP address or
device name of the Gateway.
For example: http://125.221.23.44
Press Enter to display the Login screen.

Configure the Gateway 13
2. Enter your user name and password and click OK
to proceed to the configuration page. The default
user name is admin and the default password is
null.
The configuration interface displays.
CHECK THE
NETWORKADDRESS
SETTINGS
Use the web interface to check that the network addresses you
set in the previous step were properly recorded by the Gateway.
 Procedure
1. In the sidebar, click the Device button to display
the Device configuration tabs.
2. Check the settings in the Addressing tab to
ensure that the network addressing parameters
you entered earlier (see Procedure on page 11)
were properly recorded in the Gateway.
SET THE
GATEKEEPER
ADDRESS
Before you can work with the Gateway, you must set a
gatekeeper IP address with which the Gateway registers.
1. In the Gatekeeper section of the Gateway
interface Settings tab, enter the gatekeeper IP
address in the Gatekeeper Address field.
2. Click Upload in the toolbar and wait for the
Gateway to reset itself.
3. Log out by clicking the Logout button in the
sidebar.
Note To review the settings, log in to the Gateway web
interface again.

SET GATEWAY
SERVICES The Gateway is pre-programmed with a number of default
service prefixes used in outgoing calls. You can modify the
existing prefixes to suit your network environment or define new
services and add them to the list.
Before setting a Gateway service, consider the following:
Ensure that the service prefix numbers are not identical
to the first digits of any of your IP network endpoint
phone numbers or aliases.
Note that changing a service prefix or adding a new
service may require resetting the Gateway.
 Procedure
1. In the Gateway interface Services tab, click Add
to add a new service, or select a service and click
Edit to modify that service.
2. Type in the prefix number for this service, select
the call type, bit rate, and ISDN ports for this
service. Click Upload to send the new parameters
to the Gateway.
