The Reset pinhole button, located on the front panel, resets the device or restores it to factory defaults. To

restore the device to factory defaults: Disconnect the Ethernet cable and then with a paper clip or any other

similar pointed object, press and hold down the button for at least 12 seconds, but no more than 25 seconds.

Mounting the Device

You can mount the device in a standard 19-inch rack, using the two mounting brackets (supplied) which you

first need to attach to the sides of the chassis.

Cabling the Device for Power

Depending on ordered model, your device can be powered either from a standard alternating current (AC)

electrical wall outlet or a -48V DC power source.

Warning:

•The device must always be grounded.

•If the FXS wires exit the building, they must be surge protected using gas discharge arrestors. For more

information, refer to the device's Hardware Installation Manual.

1. GROUNDING: Connect a grounding lug that is attached to your grounding wire to the device, using the

terminal screw located on the rear panel. Attach the grounding wire to the equipotential grounding

busbar. For more information, refer to the device's Hardware Installation Manual.

2. AC POWER: Insert the female connector that is located on one end of the AC power cord (supplied) into

the device's AC power socket, located on the rear panel. Insert the male plug that is located on the

other end of the AC power cord into a standard electrical wall outlet.

3. DC POWER: Connection to mains power of -48V must be made by trained or instructed service

personal. For connection to the device, use the supplied DC terminal block (supplied) in conjunction

with 18-AWG wires, paying attention to correct polarity (as indicated by the +and –labels on the

chassis, above the DC inlet). Secure the wires by fastening the screws located above them in the

terminal block. Insert the DC terminal block plug into the DC inlet, located on

the rear panel. Connect the DC power leads to a 48V DC power source. Use a

DC rated 5A circuit breaker in series with the -48V wire as a disconnect

device.

When power is received by the device, the Ready LED that is located on the front panel is lit green.

Assigning an IP Address to the Device

Use the device's factory default IP address (10.1.10.10/16 and Default Gateway 0.0.0.0) to initially access the

device's Web-based management interface and then change the IP address to suit your network's addressing

scheme for subsequent connectivity.

1. Using a crossover RJ-45 Ethernet cable, connect the device's Ethernet port that is located on the rear

panel and labeled ETHERNET, to the LAN port of your computer.

2. Change the IP address of your computer to correspond with the device's default IP address and subnet

mask.

3. On your computer, open a standard Web browser (for example, Google Chrome), and then in the URL

field, enter the device's default IP address; the Web Login screen appears:

4. Type in the default username (Admin) and password (Admin), and then click Login.

6 |Page

5. Open the IP Settings table (Configuration tab > VoIP menu > Network > IP Interfaces Table).

6. Modify the IP address to suit your network addressing scheme:

In the 'IP Address' field, enter the new IPv4 IP address in dotted-decimal notation.

In the 'Subnet Mask' field, enter the new subnet mask in dotted-decimal notation.

In the 'Default Gateway Address' field, enter the new IP address of the Default Gateway in dotted-

decimal notation.

7. Click Submit to apply your settings.

8. Open the Maintenance Actions page (Maintenance tab > Maintenance menu > Maintenance Actions),

and then click BURN to save your settings to the device's flash memory. This process also causes the

device to reset.

As you have changed the device's IP address, your connection to the device's management interface

through your browser is no longer available.

9. Disconnect the device's Ethernet cable from your computer and then connect it to your network.

10. Access the device's management interface using the device's new IP address.

Safety Precautions

This device is an indoor unit and therefore, must not be installed outdoors.

Ethernet cabling must be routed only indoors and must not exit the building.

The device must be installed and serviced only by qualified service personnel.

Do not open or dismantle the device.

Do not expose the device to water or moisture.

Make sure the device is installed in a well-ventilated location to avoid over heating of internal

components and subsequent damage.

Do not place any object on top of the device and make sure that sufficient clearance from the top and

sides are maintained to ensure proper airflow to avoid over heating of internal components.

Operate the device in an ambient temperature (Tma) that does not exceed 40°C (104°F).

The device must be installed only in restricted access locations.

The device must be connected permanently to earth via the screw terminal, located on the device's

rear panel, as per the instructions in the device's Hardware Installation Manual.

The grounding connection must not be removed unless all FXS lines are first disconnected from the

device.

Installation of the device must be in accordance with national electrical codes and conform to local

regulations.

AC Power: Use only the supplied AC power cord for connection to the power source.

AC Power: Connect the device to an electrical socket outlet that provides protective earthing

(grounding).

DC Power: Connect the device to a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) source that is sufficiently isolated

from the mains.

The device is immune against power surge levels of up to 1 Kilovolts (KV) as required by the following

standards: IEC 61000-4-5, EN 55024, and EN 300386. Power surges above protection levels as required

by EN 55024 and EN 300386 may cause damage to the device.

The device includes an integrated secondary surge protection, but does not include primary telecom

protection. To comply with ITU-K.21 requirements when the telephone lines are routed outside the

building, it is essential to install additional protection using a three-electrode Gas Discharge Tube (GDT)

rated 350V as a primary protection on the MDF, located at the entrance point of telephone wiring to

the building. The center pin of the GDT must be connected to ground.

For FXS ports, use minimum 26-AWG wiring if it exits the building.
