2 Prepare the Site
The VIU-323 is suited for an office environment where it can be rack mounted with your
other network equipment or free standing.
When deciding where to place the VIU-323, ensure that:
!The VIU-323 is accessible and all cables can be easily connected to it; for proper
ventilation, leave a space of at least 10 cm (4 inches) behind the unit’s rear panel.
!The room in which you install the unit has an operating temperature range of 0oto 40o
C (32oto 104oF) and a non-condensing relative humidity range of 15% to 85%.
!The air vents at the sides of the unit are not blocked.
!No objects are placed on top of the unit.
!A Windows 95/98 or NT-based station running TCP/IP is available for running the
configuration software and other utilities (network software must be Winsock 1.1-
compatible).
!Grounded AC power outlets are accessible for the VIU-323 and room system.
!A LAN port is available on the hub for the VIU-323.
!There is a gatekeeper to register the VIU-323’s IP address (not required in direct
VIU-323 to VIU–323 connection without gatekeeper).

6 Connect the Y-Cable
Note V.35/RS-366 Y-cables are not always included in the VIU-323 package.
The V.35/RS-366 Y-cable connects the VIU-323 to the H.320 room system. It has one 26-
pin male connector that divides into a V.35 female (Winchester) connector and an RS-366
female connector; see Figure 5 on the next page.
Insert the 26-pin male connector into Port 1 on the rear panel of the VIU-323. Connect the
V.35 female connector to the male V.35 connector on the cable that attaches to the room
system; connect the RS-366 female connector to the corresponding RS-366 connector that
attaches to the room system.
If you are sending two-channel (2B) calls, connect the second Y-cable to VIU-323 Port 2
and connect the V.35 and RS-366 connectors to the appropriate connectors on the cable that
attaches to the corresponding room system port (or ports).

1 Prepare a Checklist
Before you start configuration, obtain the following information (from your network
administrator, for example); enter the values below to make VIU-323 configuration more
convenient:
❒VIU-323 IP address: __ __ __ . __ __ __ .__ __ __ . __ __ __
❒VIU-323 IP subnet mask: __ __ __ . __ __ __ .__ __ __ . __ __ __
❒Configuration PC IP subnet mask: __ __ __ . __ __ __ .__ __ __ . __ __ __
❒Default gatekeeper IP address: __ __ __ . __ __ __ .__ __ __ . __ __ __

❒Default VIU-323 configuration password: VIUrv (case sensitive).
Note We recommend that the VIU-323’s subnet mask be the same as the configuration
PC’s subnet mask so that the VIU-323 configuration program will display the
VIU-323’s IP address for your selection in the first configuration screen; otherwise,
you must manually enter the VIU-323’s IP address.

Set the Network Parameters
Figure 9 - Network Parameters screen
1. In the Default Gatekeeper IP text box, the correct IP address may already be
displayed; if it is not, type the IP address of the gatekeeper the VIU-323 will be
registered with.
2. In the Gatekeeper Port text box, do not change the default port (1719) unless the
gatekeeper you are using indicates otherwise.
3. In the Default Router IP text box, if the correct IP address is not already displayed,
type the IP address of the default router, if one is being used. If you are not using a
router, leave the field blank.
4. In the Terminal ID text box, type the alias that identifies this VIU-323, for example,
“VIU Conference Rm”. This is the H.323 Alias that is recorded by the gatekeeper.
5. In the Phone Number text box, type the VIU-323’s phone number; this will be
recorded in the gatekeeper.
6. After setting parameters, click Next to continue configuring VIU-323 parameters. The
LAN Port Setting screen is displayed.

Define the LAN Port
Figure 10 - LAN Port Settings screen
1. In the LAN Port Settings screen, make sure the Enabled check box is selected.
2. In the IP Address text box, the IP address is displayed automatically if you used a
terminal session to set this parameter (for information, see “Error! Cannot open file.”
in Chapter 9, “Error! Cannot open file.”); if the field is empty or the address
displayed is incorrect, type the correct address for this port.
3. In the IP Mask field, the subnet mask is displayed automatically if you used a terminal
session to set this parameter; if the field is empty or the address displayed is incorrect,
type the correct subnet mask (for information, see “Appendix C”).
4. In the Description field, type a description of this LAN port.
5. Click Next. The Dialing Properties screen is displayed.

Set Dialing Properties
Figure 11 - Dialing Parameters screen
Note Set outgoing and incoming default bandwidths to the same value. We recommend
setting the default bandwidth to 384 Kbps for maximum quality. If you need to call to
an endpoint with a different bandwidth, you can easily change the bandwidth by
using the dialing prefix. See the "VIU–323 User Guide” for further information.
1. In the Dialing Settings screen, select *or #or None as the 2nd Number Delimiter.
2. Select the outgoing and incoming default bandwidths; these values must be the same.
3. Click Next. The Save Setup screen is displayed.

4 Save and Transfer the Configuration
The Save Setup screen enables you to save the VIU-323 configuration parameters to a local
file. The parameters are saved as an *.ini file to the directory in which the
OnLAN Configure 323 configuration software is installed. The next time you run
OnLAN Configure 323, you can select this file from the Source drop down list in the
Configuration Source screen. Saving configuration parameters to a file may be useful if
you plan to configure more than one VIU-323 unit.
1. In the Save as text box, type a filename for this configuration setup, for example
VIU1_NEW, and click OK.
2. In the Confirm screen, click Yes to transfer the configuration settings to the VIU-323.
The transfer process may take up to one minute. The VIU-323 restarts with the
configuration parameters you set.
3. Quit the configuration software.

5 Make a Trial Call
After the room system is connected to the VIU-323, the VIU-323 is connected to the LAN,
and both the room system and the VIU-323 are up and running. Use the room system dialer
to make your call. The following are examples of basic dialing.
Dialing Within a LAN
When the calling VIU-323s and the receiving endpoint are on the same LAN segment and
set to the same default bandwidth, simply dial the extension of the endpoint you are calling.
Example
5555
Where 5555 is the extension of the endpoint you are calling.
Two-Channel (2B) Dialing Through a Gateway
To dial through a gateway to an H.320 unit, you must take into account the bandwidths of
the calling VIU-323 and the receiving unit, and the bandwidth of the circuit switched
network that connects the two sides.
If:
!You are making a BRI call, and
!The default bandwidth of the calling VIU-323 and the receiving unit is 2x64 Kbps
then you don’t have to change the bandwidth, but you must dial:
!The gateway’s service prefix, followed by
!The first channel phone number, followed by
!The 2nd number delimiter.
!If the second channel phone number is different from the first number, after the 2nd
number delimiter dial the digits of the second number that differ from the first
number (see example below). If the second number is the same as the first number,
don’t dial the number.

VIU–323 Quick Start Guide
18
Examples
80 7654321*
Where 80 is the gateway service prefix, 7654321 is the phone number for both the first and
second channels of the unit you are calling, and * is the 2nd number delimiter. (You don’t
have to dial the phone number twice because the phone numbers are the same for both
channels.)
80 7654321*2
Where the delimiter * is followed by the digits of the second number that differ from the
first number dialed, in this case the number 2.
Note Since it is not common that the default outgoing bandwidth of a VIU-323 is 2x64
Kbps, you will probably have to change the outgoing bandwidth.
Dialing Through a Gateway and IMUX
To dial through a gateway and an IMUX to a unit with the same bandwidth as the calling
VIU-323, dial:
!The gateway’s service prefix, followed by
!The IMUX profile, followed by
!The phone number of the receiving unit; for a 2x64 Kbps call this will consist of:
!The first channel phone number, followed by
!The 2nd number delimiter.
!If the second channel phone number is different from the first number, after the 2nd
number delimiter dial the digits of the second number that differ from the first
number. If the second number is the same as the first number, don’t dial the number.
Example
80 #001 7654321*
Where 80 is the gateway service prefix, #001 is the IMUX profile, 7654321 is the phone
number for both the first and second channels of the unit you are calling and * is the 2nd
number delimiter. (You don’t have to dial the phone number twice because the phone
numbers are the same for both channels.)
