Overview
This document will guide you through the process of configuring Vega series of Gateway’s to work with Switchvox. There are two major installations - 1) T1/E1/BRI and FXO for Trunking solutions, 2) FXS for Analog stations.
Introduction
For Trunking solutions, Vega Gateway to Switchvox Configuration Guide provides detailed information about the configuration requirements in Vega series of Gateways Vega 60G, Vega 100G, Vega 200G, Vega 400G. A typical deployment connects PSTN Network to Vega Gateway on one side using Vega T1/E1/BRI and FXO interface and Switchvox IP-PBX on the other side. Using SIP Protocol the Vega and the Switchvox create a Trunk together.
For Analog Station solutions. Vega Gateway to Switchvox Configuration Guide provides detailed information about the configuration requirements in Vega series of Gateways Vega 60G, Vega 3000G and Vega 3050G. A typical deployment connects POTS phones to the FXS interface of the Vega Gateway and the Vega connects to the Switchvox IP-PBX, registering all of the FXS Extensions to the Switchvox.
Digital Trunking
Bringing PSTN Trunks into the Vega and deliver the calls to the Switchvox.
Switchvox Configuration
General Configuration
The Switchvox will typically have a Static IP or Fully Qualified Domain Name. In this configuration we are defining the Vega Gateway as a VoIP Provider, then assigning a Outgoing Calls and Incoming Calls to/from the Vega Gateway.
VoIP Provider
Open the VoIP Providers tab. ( Setup > VoIP providers )
...
Click "Save SIP Provider"
...
Incoming Calls
Open the Incoming Calls tab. ( Setup > Incoming Calls )
...
Click "Save Single DID Route"
...
Outgoing Calls
Open the Outgoing Calls tab. ( Setup > Outgoing Calls )
...
Modify all needed pre-configured Outgoing Call Rules
When Modifying or Creating the Outgoing Call Rule, under Call Trough - the Primary Call Trough Provider - Select the Vega Gateway created from the VoIP Provider
...
Click "Save Outgoing Call Route"
...
Vega Gateway Configuration
General Configuration
DHCP
All Vega Gateways use DHCP to assign an IP Address. Plug the Vega Gateway to the network, DHCP will assign an IP Address to the unit. To know what the IP Address that was assigned to Vega do one of the following;
...
| Info |
|---|
NOTE: Although the out-of-the-box Vega Gateway obtains an IP Address dynamically, it is recommended that Gateways use a Static IP Address. Configuration of Static IP will be done in each section. |
Quick Config
Quick Config is the Vega Gateway's configuration Wizard. The Wizard asks some specific questions related to the nature of your installation and upon Saving Configuration, the Wizard will complete the programming of the Vega Gateway, through the entire Expert Config. This document will focus on the Quick Config wizard and any supplemental Expert Config requirements. All Quick Config are the same across all Vega Gateways, although specific to Analog or Digital options for corresponding Gateway interfaces.
Quick Config
When you login into the Vega Gateway, the System Status page is seen,
Click on Configuration
...
Click on Quick Config, a Warning will pop up, reminding you that any Edits here will overwrite the config. Click Continue
Quick Config - Step 1 - Basic Configuration
First step in the Quick Config wizard, items such as Country, Time Zone, Emergency Numbers and LAN Interface details,
...
Deselect "Obtain IP Settings automatically Using DHCP"
Enter in the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS Servers and NTP Server
...
Quick Config - Step 2 - VoIP
This section is where the Switchvox is defined, as well as the behavior with the Switchvox.
General VoIP Configuration - Registration Mode
Here there are potentially three options, only two applicable to Digital Trunking: OFF and GATEWAY
Select OFF, when there is no requirement to REGISTER or Authenticate with the Switchvox. It would be important that the Gateway and Switchvox have static IP Addresses.
...
Remote Server Configuration
Here is where the Switchvox location is configured, along with the SIP Port, Transport, SIP Accessibility Check (OPTIONS Ping) and if the Registration Mode: Gateway was selected, the Registration Username and Password
SIP Server IP/FQDN: Enter the IP Address or Fully Qualified Domain Name of the Switchvox
SIP Server Port: Enter the SIP Port of the Switchvox - 5060 is most common
SIP Server Transport Mode: Select the Transport being used. UDP/TCP/TLS
SIP Accessibility Check: Select Options
Registration/Authentication ID: Because Registration Mode is OFF, there will be no Registration to the Switchvox - you cannot edit this field
Authentication Password: Because Registration Mode is OFF, there will be no Registration to the Switchvox - you cannot edit this field
...
Quick Config - Step 3 - T1/E1/BRI
This section is where the Vega Gateway Digital interfaces are defined, this section changes depending on the Vega Gateway variant and Country selected. But all versions are very similar,
...
For T1: NI(NI2), QSIG, dms, dms_m1 att, CAS-RBS, CASPW, arin and Auto will attempt identify the correct protocol being used
For E1/BRI: ETSI (EURO ISDN), QSIG, VN, CAS-R2, CAS-PW, arinc, 1tr6 and Auto will attempt identify the correct protocol being used
Save Configuration
You are done. Press Save Configuration.
...
You will have to reboot as well when changing IP Addresses.
...
Analog Trunking
Switchvox Configuration
This is the same as Digital Trunking.
Vega Gateway Configuration
General Configuration
This is mostly the same as Digital Trunking, with one exception, Analog Trunks simply Ring on the FXO line, and need additional configuration to assign a DID to call the Switchvox.
Therefore, the sections above, Quick Config, Quick Config - Step 1 - Basic Configuration, and Quick Config - Step 2 - VoIP are exactly the same. Only Quick Config Step 3 is different.
Quick Config - Step 3 - FXO
This section is where the FXO interfaces are defined in the Vega 60G & Vega 3050G with optional 2 Port FXO Module. This section changes depending on the Vega Gateway variant and Country selected. But all versions are very similar - as Caller ID Type may change depending on Country selected.
FXO Lines do not natively provide DID, they simply Ring. But in SIP, the Gateway needs to convert the Ringing into a DID to send to the Switchvox.
...
FXO - Telephone Connections
Enable Caller ID Detection: This enables the FXO port to detect CallerID provided by the P Carrier. How it detects is Caller ID Type Information field.
Numeric Caller ID: This is the Numeric CallerID that will be presented to the Switchvox when there is No CallerID provided by the carrier.
Textual Caller ID: This is the Name CallerID that will be presented to the Switchvox when there is No CallerID provided by the carrier.
Telephone number(s) to route to FXO interface: Written in Regular Expression, .* means any character, with any number of characters. This field is for any matching of Dialed numbers into the gateway that needs to match for a specific port. .* is good for most all applications.
DID to Forward to SIP: When the FXO port rings, the Gateway will send the DID assigned here as the dialed number into the Switchvox. Enter a DID here that matches the Incoming Calls - Incoming DID to Match field assigned earlier.
