Installation site
4Vpacket 5100/6100 Series QuickStart Guide Ethernet
The following additional cables and wire are required to install the 5100/6100 VDR with other
internetworking equipment:
• serial cable (DB-9 male to DB-25 female)
• straight-through cable (RJ-45 with boot cover)
• grounding wire
Installation site
Vpacket 5100/6100 VDRs are designed to be installed on a wall, within a standard 19-inch (48.26 cm)
rack, or on a desktop. You should observe these guidelines:
• Ensure that the side of the unit with the fans (right-hand side panel if you are facing the unit
from head-on) is not placed in the top-most position; this would defeat the air-flow and
encourage overheating.
• Collocate the punchdown panel and voice ports.
• Ensure sufficient clearance for airflow and cable routing. The LEDs on the front panel should be
easily visible and cables to the connectors on the back panel should be easily accessible.
• Ensure that the indoor room temperature does not exceed 50°C (122°F).
• Maintain the 5100/6100 VDR by keeping the unit clean and free of dust and other
contaminating particles before, during, and after installation.

Powering on the 5100/6100 VDR
After making the physical port connections, you can connect the power supply cord into the Power
receptacle on the back panel of the 5100/6100 VDR and connect the 3-pronged end of the power
cord into an AC power outlet. The unit powers on automatically when enough power is available.
User interface
To access the command line interface (CLI) through the management console port (located on the
back panel of the unit), you need to connect a terminal or PC that is running emulation software to
the 5100/6100 VDR. After connecting to the management console port, configure the emulation
software as follows:
• Bits per second: 57600 baud
•Databits:8
• Parity: none
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: none
If you are connected locally, you can telnet to the default Ethernet IP address (192.168.0.254) to
access the CLI.

The 6100 VDR has a LAN IP address of 15.15.15.254
and is connected to a switch behind which resides the 15.15.15.0
network. The WAN IP address is a public address and connects the
6100 VDR (via an Ethernet connection) to the gateway (205.176.94.12)
that connects the network to the Internet. For voice services, the 6100 VDR
communicates with the switch with IP address 38.170.77.11.

Voice over IP configuration
Vpacket 5100/6100 VDRs support the use of either MGCP, SIP, or H.323 voice stacks for VoIP
support. The telephony commands are accessible through the telephony command shell. To access
the telephony shell, enter tel at the VPacket# prompt. To configure SIP or H.323, see
“Preconfiguration steps for SIP or H.323” on page 10.
MGCP configuration
To configure the 5100/6100 VDR to support MGCP, you need to set each voice port, set the ports to
point to a softswitch (or group of softswitches), set the coding type for each TCID, and set the
coding profile usage for each coding profile.
Note. You can enter telephony commands individually at the prompt or collect them
into a text file and copy the settings into the telephony subdirectory for uploading.

Note. Vpacket recommends that you assign them sequentially (see Example). When this
command is executed, the endpoint attempts to register with the softswitch. The naming
convention (a001...a024) is an example; it is not a VDR standard. The name of the
endpoint_id must match that configured in the Call Agent's database.

Preconfiguration steps for SIP or H.323
The 5100/6100 VDR automatically generates a default dial plan upon boot up. This dial plan needs
to be removed along with any existing telephony configuration. Next, you need to create a custom
dial plan and add a hunt group (for H.323 or SIP). View commands for hunt groups and the dial plan
are included in this section. For the procedure to use PRI signaling within a SIP environment, refer to
the supplemental Quick Start Guide named SIP with PRI/ISDN signaling.

Saving configuration changes
You need to commit all system changes and then save to write changes to the Flash memory. You can
use either the commit command to retain all changes or the commit ip command to retain only IP
interface changes. The save command then writes the changes to the Flash memory.
For telephony changes first you need to issue the activate command and then commit command
(from within the telephony shell).
LEDs
The 5100/6100 VDR has LEDs that indicate real-time conditions. The following table lists the front
panel LED status and management functions
Each WAN port has a status LED to the immediate left of the port on the back panel. The single
LAN port has individual LEDs to indicate link status and activity. The FXS and T1 CAS ports have a
status LED to the immediate right of the port.
Upgrading the software image
You can upgrade the current software image by following these steps. First, you will establish a
HyperTerminal or other emulation program session. See “Setting up a HyperTerminal session” on
page 5. Before you begin this procedure, you need to verify connectivity to an FTP server. The
username, password and filename of the code base to be downloaded is required for a successful
upgrade.
Note. Sample values shown for illustration purposes only.
1. Log on to the 5100/6100 VDR.
LED Status Color Function
Power Lit Green Normal condition. Unit is receiving power.
Darkened — Unit is not receiving power.
