Megaco/H.248 Media Gateway Configuration
Overview
H.248 or Megaco or Gateway Control Protocol is a recommendation from ITU which defines protocols that are used between elements of a physically decomposed multimedia gateway. It is an implementation of the Media Gateway Control Protocol Architecture (RFC 2805). H.248 is also called Megaco or in IETF domain. It is now known as Gateway Control Protocol.

Identify
In order to determine which physical T1/E1 port is: Port 1 Card 1
Select Identify button for Port 1 Card 1
The LED light will start flashing on a rear RJ45 T1/E1 port: rear panel.
Look at the rear panel of the appliance and plug in RJ45 cable to the blinking RJ45 T1/E1 port.
Once the Port 1 Card 1 is identified, the subsequent ports for that board are labeled.
Or alternatively keep using the Identify feature for each port.
