FIG. 1
CSG SIP Communications Gateway (displaying CSG-544)
Overview
The CSG SIP Communications Gateway (FIG. 1) is a stand alone Private Branch
Exchange (PBX) which runs a version of Asterisk. The CSG can function not
only as a PBX, but also as VoIP ATA, or VoIP gateway. It has eight analog ports
that can be configured (via modules) as Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) or
Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) ports.
The CSG enables you to transform an intercom-enabled Modero Touch Panel
into a full-featured IP phone. With the CSG and an intercom-enabled Modero
Touch Panel you can make and receive local, long distance, and international
phone calls, and have access to phone features like call waiting, caller ID, call
forwarding, call queuing, and voice mail. The CSG supports AMX Session
Initiated Protocol (SIP)-enabled touch panels, such as the MVP-8400i,
NXD-1000Vi, and NXD-700Vi, as well as 3rd party IP phones.

Installing the Hardware
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger
telecommunication wiring for network connections.
1.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the Network port.
2.
Connect the provided power supply to the unit’s DC connector. The unit
immediately receives power once you connect a power source to it.
3.
When the unit completes the boot process, the left-most eight LEDs
indicate how the analog ports are configured. A red light indicates the port
is FXO, and a green light indicates the port is FXS. If the light for a port is
off, the port is not installed.
Note:
The analog port configuration is selected when you purchase your CSG
unit.
4.
Connect telephones to the analog ports that are configured as FXS ports
and connect phone lines to the analog ports that are configured as FXO
ports. If you are using the CSG-500, you can skip this step.
WARNING!
If you are using the CSG-544, do NOT connect analog ports 1-4 to
a phone line. Since both the FXS port and the phone line supply
power, the hardware could sustain damage. This damage is not
covered under the AMX standard warranty.
Instructions for Wall Mounting
1.
Select the area to mount the CSG unit. The unit should be mounted at or
below eye level to properly view the LEDs.
2.
Line up one of the surface mounting brackets with the two holes on one
side of the CSG. Install two #4-40 X .250 PPH screws into the holes in the
bracket to secure the bracket to the CSG.
3.
Repeat step 2 to attach the second bracket to the other side of the unit.
4.
Affix one screw to the wall.
Leave approximately 1/4-inch of the screw
protruding from the wall to allow the head of the screw to slide into the
settings on the mounting bracket, mounting the unit to the wall.
5.
Repeat step 4 to attach the second bracket to the wall.
Understanding the LEDs
There are 14 LEDs on the front panel of the CSG. The eight LEDs corresponding
to the analog ports on the rear panel indicate the type of interface installed. The
following table explains the definition of each LED and its color representation:
