This document describes how to configure a Vega 50 FXS H.323 unit using the web browser
interface. The configuration described will allow the Vega to be rapidly installed and tested.
The instructions below will configure the Vega 50 FXS (connected to 8 analogue telephones) as
follows:
• Calls made on any of the attached analogue phones will be routed to another gateway;
when sending the call over the LAN, the Vega will prefix the dialled number with a 2 digit
prefix indicating on which port the call was received.
• Each of the 8 analogue telephones connected to the Vega will be configured with a 3-digit
extension number 406 to 413. Calls received from the LAN presenting a dialled number in
the range 406 to 413 will be routed to the appropriate telephone.

The Caller ID values presented to the LAN will be configured as though the full number of
the telephones is 1344 784 4xx, where 4xx is the extension number i.e.:
Extension number Caller ID
406 1344 784 406
407 1344 784 407
408 1344 784 408
409 1344 784 409
410 1344 784 410
411 1344 784 411
412 1344 784 412
413 1344 784 413
The configuration process is broken down into 11 stages as follows:

1. Connect your Vega to LAN, Telephone and Power
Serial (RS232) LAN
POTS port 8
Power Switch
AC Power
POTS port 1
Before installing your Vega, ensure that you read the VegaStream VoIP Gateways Safety
and Compliance Information document.
LAN:
Using the yellow booted cable connect the LAN port on the Vega to a standard or fast Ethernet
hub or switch (10 baseT or 100 baseTx). The connector nearest the ferrite core should be
plugged into the Vega.
Telephony:
Connect analogue telephones to the 8 POTS ports. Note the port numbers increase in an
anticlockwise direction from the bottom left corner. So the phones extensions will be as follows:
413 412 411 410
406 407 408 409
Power:
Insert the power cable into the AC power inlet on the Vega and switch on. The power LED on the
front panel will illuminate.
The LAN LEDs will also illuminate indicating 10 (baseT) or 100 (baseTx) connection, and the FDX
LED will illuminate if Full Duplex mode has been negotiated.

2. Configure the basic LAN parameters
If a DHCP server is available, by default, the Vega will automatically pick up an IP
address. If the Vega has an LCD display, or you know the IP address served to the
Vega, skip this section and start at 3.
If DHCP is not to be used to provide the Vega with an IP address, or you need to
check the IP address provided to the Vega, connect the serial interface of the Vega
to a PC serial interface using a 9 way male to female straight through cable.
Configure a terminal emulator program (such as Microsoft’s HyperTerminal) for:
• Speed = 115200 baud
• Data bits = 8
• Parity = none
• Stop bits = 1
• Flow Control = none
Press <Enter> to get the Username: prompt
At the prompts enter the default user name and password
Username: admin
Password: admin
To display the current IP address, type:
 show lan.ip
If this is not the IP address required, it can be overridden, together with other LAN
parameters by typing:
 set lan.use_dhcp=0
 set lan.ip=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
 set lan.subnet=eee.fff.ggg.hhh
 set lan.gateway=iii.jjj.kkk.lll
 save
 reboot system

 select and then click “here” to return
1If the web interface is not used for this length of time the Vega will automatically log off the session. This change is
only activated by logging out and back into the browser session.

5. Configure H.323 parameters
 On the left hand side menu select H.323
If this Vega is to be inter-working with another Vega leave the H.323 LAN Configuration
alone, if it is to work with other manufacturer’s devices, it is often best to untick the
indicated items – as these are advanced H.323 features that are not always supported by
other manufacturers. Once the Vega and the other device are working in the basic H.323
mode, try enabling other features – back towards this configuration, as this will improve call
setup times.

 Set Name = From_telephones
 Set Source = IF:<.[^5]>,TEL:<.*> (This takes a call from any of the 8 telephony
ports and stores the interface number in store
<1> and the number dialled in store <2>)
 Set Destination = IF:05,TEL:<1><2> (This routes the call to IF:05 (the LAN) and
passes the dialled telephone number prefixed

Now create a new profile and in it create a dial plan entry to handle calls being received inbound
from the LAN:
In a similar manner to adding profile 2 add another profile, profile 3,
 Set Name = Inbound_from_LAN
Modify the first plan for Profile 3:
 Set Name = From_LAN
 Set Source = IF:05,TEL:4<..> (This takes the three digit extension number
presented as the telephone number (4xx) and
stores the latter two digits in location <1>)
 Set Destination = IF:<1> (Use the 2 digits in store <1> as the interface
ID (telephone) to ring)
 select and then click “here” to return

Note: The sending device must present just the 3-digit extension number, whether the
caller dialled just the extension number, or whether the caller dialled the full
telephone number including the area code.
For the calls to be accepted, the last two digits of the extension number must be 06
to 13 to be a valid Vega 50 interface ID.
For more details on the operation of the dial planner, including the various
tokens that may be used, see the section “The Dial Planner” in the Vega
Primer.
