1) Introduction

This document covers setting up a Vega4x4 Private Wire Interface to allow the Private Wire circuits to be transported over a SIP trunk.

The Vega can be used to connect to a carrier or trading switch and will interface to any SIP trunk that supports IETF private wire SIP draft that can be found at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-beauchamp-private-wire/ 

 

2) Load an IP address


There are two methods to set up an IP address on the Vega both involve using the serial port CLI Interface.

...

DHCP out of the box Vega 4x4 will attempt to use DHCP in order to find out what IP address it has in use at the command line prompt type show IP and you should see the following:-
>show ip
Host name:Vega4x4-CMU LAN 1 IP:10.221.2.249
Use this address to open a web session http://10.221.2.249 and can then either stick with DHCP address or use the web interface to change to a static address.
Static
If there is no DHCP available then you can set up IP address manually from the CLI as follows:-
> set lan.if.1.ip x.x.x.x - where x.x.x.x is the IP address you want
> set lan.if.1.subnet y.y.y.y – where y.y.y.y is the subnet mask of your network
> set lan.gateway z.z.z.z - where z.z.z.z is the address of the default gateway
> save
> apply
> reboot system

 

3) Web Configuration

Connect the Vega to a suitable LAN and start a web browser session with the IP address defined. Login using the default Username and Password. The Vega 4x4 System Status configuration screen should be presented as shown below

...

 

3.1) Software Upgrade

From the System Status screen under Expert Config select System and you should see the following:

...

Browse to where you have the new image and hit Download the system will automatically upload the new mage and blow it to flash.
Once the correct code is on the Vega can start to configure it.

 

3.2) LAN configuration

Normally only one LAN interface is setup as this keeps local routing simple and avoid the need to set up multiple LAN profiles. If Out of band management is required a second interface can be set up on a different network in this example only one LAN interface is used. Under Expert Config select LAN should see the following:

...

Note when data is changed you must submit it or you will find that if you move away from the page all your changes are lost. In addition when changes are submitted they are not applied or saved unless you explicitly hit the Save and Apply Changes button which will become Red if the Vega detects there are unsaved or unapplied changes.  I normally hit the apply button and save button at the end of each section.

3.3) POTS Configuration

Once the IP interface is set up next thing to do is set up the analog interfaces. To do this select POTS from Expert Config and you should see the following screen.

...

On this page ensure all modules are detected and they are placed in to PW mode. Once this is complete the analog ports should be setup. 

 

3.4) Media Configuration

Select Media from Expert Config. Then click Modify on Capability Set 2. 

...

Once this is complete then modify the Media Capability 2,3 and ensure the packet time is set to 20ms. As shown below. 

...

 

3.5) SIP Configuration
