The V7122 provides several ways for monitoring the status of the 
gateway:

Monitoring the V7122 LEDs (see 

Monitoring the V7122 Chassis LEDs

 

and 

TP-1610 Front Panel LED Indicators

 below).

Monitoring the V7122 trunks and B-channels using the embedded 
Web server (see 

Monitoring Trunks and B-channels using Web 

Interface

).

Monitoring the
