Be sure to pay attention to cooling. Because the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway has

side-to-side cooling, the design of the rack should allow for adequate airflow on

either side of the unit. Refer to the rack manufacturer’s specification for suitable

mounting methods.

Connection Sequence

To identify the ports, refer to Figure 4 in the Back Panel Equipment section of this

Quick Start Guide.

Caution Do not connect to the E1 telephony ports until first-time configuration is

complete.

Step 1 Connect the earthing cable as described in the “Caution” in Hardware Installation.

Step 2 Connect the mains power cable.

Note Install the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway in a place that is near the mains

power socket-outlet. Install the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway in a place

from which you can reach the mains outlet easily.

Step 3 Connect the 10/100 Ethernet cable.

Front Panel Indicators

The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway unit includes 10 LEDs on its front panel. They

show unit status information. This section describes the front panel indicators that

Figure 3 shows.

Figure 3 Front View

STATUS

The four red STATUS LEDs are labelled S3, S2, S1 and S0. They indicate unit

status in conjunction with the two port LEDs, P1 and P2. During unit self-test, the

status LEDs will come on and go off in sequence, and, in the event of a self-test

failure, stop with one LED remaining on.

LAN

Three LEDs indicate LAN activity. The TxD LED flashes amber on transmission

of a packet. The Link/RxD LED flashes green on receipt of a packet. The green

Speed LED is ON for 100 Mbit/s or OFF for 10Mbit/s. If Ethernet is not

connected, these LEDs will remain off.

Note The RxD LED will flash for any traffic on the Ethernet, regardless of destination.

P1 and P2

The two amber Port LEDs are labelled P1 and P2. Together with the STATUS

LEDs, they indicate unit status. When the unit is operating normally and all is

well, these LEDs turn on and off every few seconds with all STATUS LEDs off.

When a problem exists, the Port LEDs will show the problem’s location (P1 or P2,

or if both P1 and P2 are lit, a major alarm exists). The STATUS LEDs will then

indicate the problem. If more than one has a problem, they will be shown in a

cycle of 5 seconds each.

Power

The Power LED includes two functions. When power is applied, it comes on amber

to indicate that the unit is in self-test mode. When the self-test satisfactorily

completes, the LED changes to green to indicate that the unit is functioning

correctly.

Back Panel Equipment

This section describes the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway back panel ports and

switches that are shown in Figure 4.

Ports

Ethernet

The 10/100 Base-T Port gets used to connect to the IP Network to allow voice

packets to be transmitted and received and for a PC that is using a Web browser

to communicate with the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway configuration and

management interface.

Port 1 & Port 2

Each port includes three connectors. The two BNC connectors, which are 75-ohm

unbalanced, are marked Rx and Tx. The RJ45 connector is 120-ohm balanced.

The Impedance Switch must be set to the correct impedance. Be aware that

parameters for each port are configurable by using the Gateway Management

Interface on a Web browser.

Craft Port

The Craft Port primarily enables a serial connection to a dumb terminal or a

terminal emulation application on a PC that is running RS-232 at 9600 baud, 8 bit,

1 stop bit, and no parity.

Alarm Port

If required, you can connect the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway Alarm port to an

alarm signal detector before powering on the unit.

Switches

Power On/Off

Find the power On/Off switch (I / O) adjacent to the mains connector.

Caution Before connecting any cables or changing any switches, power off the Cisco

VG30D Voice Gateway.

POST

Ensure the Power On Self Test (POST) switch is set in the POST position before

powering on the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway unit. Be aware that the Factory

position is for Cisco Systems, Inc., engineers only.

Impedance Switches

These switches allow the selection of either 75-ohm or 120-ohm impedance for

the SCN ports. Use 75 ohms for coaxial BNC connection (BNC position), and use

120 ohms for UTP RJ45 connectivity (RJ45 position).

Caution Make this selection before power is applied to the unit.

Craft Switch

Use the Craft switch to switch between serial connection for initialising the Cisco

VG30D Voice Gateway and Factory Engineering management. By default, the

switch should remain set to Craft.

78-19034-01

Power On Self Test and IP Address Setup

On powering ON the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway, the unit will perform a

self-test. The Power LED on the front panel shows amber, and the four STATUS

LEDs come on and go off (in sequence from left to right) to indicate that the unit

is performing the self-test. These tests check the correct operation of the hardware

and start the operational software. This process should complete in less than 1

minute.

Successful Self-Test

When all the tests have completed successfully and the software is operational, the

Power LED changes colour from amber to green. Approximately 30 seconds later,

you can log in to the web-based Gateway Management Interface.

The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway configuration includes the default IP address

of 192.168.1.1 and sub-net mask 255.255.255.0.

Proceed as follows:

Step 1 Connect the ethernet port of the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway directly to the

ethernet port of a PC.

Step 2 Open a web browser and enter 192.168.1.1 directly into the IP address bar.

Note You may need to change the IP address and sub-net mask of your

computer to be on the same sub-net.

Step 3 Log in to the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway by using Advanced (case sensitive)

for both Username and Password.

Step 4 Browse to Configuration/Gateway/Set IP Address.

Step 5 Set Gateway Management IP Address,Set Gateway Management Subnet

Mask, and if required, Set Management Default Gateway Address and click the

Submit button.

Warranty Terms

Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway Quick Start Guide

78-19034-01

Note The set parameters will get used the next time that the Cisco VG30D

Voice Gateway is re-booted, but the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway will

remain accessible through the active connection until then.

The Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway may now be powered OFF, and installed and

connected to the IP network (accessible through the new IP address), or you may

continue with further configuration by using the Gateway Management Interface

as described in Sections 3 and 4 of the Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway User Guide.

Self-Test Failure

If any test in the sequence fails, the cycle of the STATUS LEDs will stop (with

one LED remaining on) and the Power LED will remain AMBER.

You can obtain details of any failures if the unit undergoes the self-test when

connected from the Craft Port to a dumb terminal or a terminal emulation

application on a computer that is running RS-232 at 9600 baud, 8 bit, 1 stop bit

and no parity or flow control.

If an error is reported, consult the “Fault Determination” section in the

Cisco VG30D Voice Gateway User Guide for the appropriate corrective action or

call your support contact. After errors have been corrected, make sure that the

self-test runs satisfactorily to completion and proceed as described in the

Successful Self-Test section.

Warranty Terms

The following are special terms applicable to your hardware warranty.

Duration of Hardware Warranty: One (1) Year

Replacement, Repair or Refund Procedure for Hardware: Cisco or its service

center will use commercially reasonable efforts to ship a replacement part within

ten (10) working days after receipt of the RMA request. Actual delivery times

may vary depending on Customer location.
