EIG-8O Gateway Administration Guidelines
MAG-06008 Rev. A
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
EIG-8O is a multi-purpose VoIP gateway product series designed with the needs of service providers
and enterprises in mind. With EIG-8O gateways, service providers can provide telephony and fax
services to subscribers using many access methods such as FTTB, HFC, and ADSL. Enterprises can
use the EIG-8O’s traditional PBX interface to implement voice VPN solutions with their private IP or
public VPN networks. EIG-8O can also serve as a remote SIP terminal for IP-PBX solution.
EIG-8O has a variety of models. Each model can be customized to have different number of FXS ports
and FXO ports. It shares the same software system as other Essence’s VoIP products (MX100 and
MX100-TG) and therefore keeps the advantages in functionality, quality, and compatibility of Essence
products. In hardware EIG-8O uses Motorola’s MPC852 as the Central Processing Unit, and TI C5509
high efficiency chip to process voice and faxes. The powerful hardware equipment ensures EIG-8O to
send signaling and IP packets in different channels even when traffic is at the peak, thus supports
major functions such as voice codec (G.711, G.729A, G.723.1, GSM and iLBC) and echo cancellation.
This manual is mainly about EIG-8O installation and web configuration. Please note that after you have
made changes to many of the parameters on EIG-8O Web Configuration page and clicked the Submit
button, you may get messages like "Submission is successful. Please restart the system to make the
changes effective." You need to restart EIG-8O using the instruction in section 4.13.4.
EIG-8O also has the capability to restore the default settings. Just click the Restore Default button.

parameter.
