Congratulations on your purchase of a Vega Voice Over
IP gateway. This Quick Start Guide will assist you through
the process of configuring your new gateway.
If you would like further details about the parameters
you are configuring or you want to know more about the
capabilities of your Vega, please visit wiki.sangoma.com
and start by looking at the Quick SIP Config reference
guide available in the Vega > Configuration section.
1. Before you Start
We advise that before connecting and using your Vega
for the first time, you visit wiki.sangoma.com and read
the ‘Safety and Compliance Information’ document which
contains important details that you should be aware of.
2. Connecting your E1/T1 Vega
Connect your Vega using its telephony, Earth point,
power and LAN connections.
Both the Vega 100G and Vega 200G have both E1/T1
ports activated. The capacity of simultaneous VoIP calls
that can be made is as follows:
Model
Number of Simultaneous VoIP Calls
Vega 100G
30
Vega 200G
60
⚠
WARNING
The Earth point on your Vega must be connected
to a suitable earth. It serves a dual role as a
safety Earth and it also stops noise on telephone
lines in electrically noisy conditions.
LAN interfaces 1 and 2 support 10, 100 or 1000 mbps
connections and as default are configured to negotiate to
the highest bitrate.
It is important that if both LAN 1 and LAN 2 are to
be used that they are connected to separate (non-
overlapping) subnets.
3. Getting an IP address
Vega 100G/200G use DHCP to pick up an IP address
for LAN 1. LAN 2 has a default fixed IP address of
192.168.168.2 / 255.255.255.0.
Each LAN interface is handled independently:
* If LAN 1 fails to get an IP address from the DHCP
server, for example, because there is no DHCP server on
the LAN, then the Vega will default the IP address of LAN
1 to
169.254.x.y where x and y are the decimal versions of
the last two bytes of the LAN 1 MAC address.
* LAN2 can be configured to be DHCP or another static
IP address and once that is done the fixed address of
192.168.168.2 will no longer be used.
The MAC addresses for LAN 1 and LAN 2 can be found
on the rear of the Vega gateway near the ethernet ports.
The LAN 1 MAC address is always the lower, even
number and the LAN 2 MAC address is the LAN 1 MAC
address plus 1.
A calculator that will calculate the 169.254.x.y address from
the MAC address is available in the Vega Tools section of wiki.

4. Logging into the Vega
Enter the IP address of your Vega gateway into the
address line of your web browser and press enter or
select ‘Go’. The Vega will present you with a login screen:
Enter the username and password.
By default these are set to:
Username = admin
Password = admin
100G/200G

5. Configuring your Vega
Select Quick Config. If a warning message appears
informing you that there is already configuration applied,
you can remove the existing settings and start from
the beginning by selecting ‘Continue’ then ticking the
‘New Install ?’ option. This will ensure that any old,
unwanted configuration is removed as you submit your
new settings. Do not tick this option if you are simply
amending existing configuration.
⚠
WARNING
To exit Quick Config ALWAYS use either the
Submit or Exit buttons adjacent to the Quick
Config tabs.
DO NOT use the navigation entries on the left
hand menu, as using these may cause you to lose
settings that you want to keep.
a) Basic Config
Start by selecting the basic config tab. If this is a new
installation, ensure that the ‘New Install ?’ option is
ticked.
Select the country and choose which emergency
numbers are appropriate for the location of the Vega.
Then select the LAN settings and change the login
password if required.
Note: If the LAN settings have previously been statically
configured, ensure these settings are correctly reflected on the
Basic Config page. Failure to do this may result in the IP address
changing and the Vega becoming inaccessible over the LAN.
b) VoIP
REGISTRATION MODE:
Depending on the installation, if registration is required, it
can be configured as one registration per gateway.
OUTBOUND PROXY:
Choose whether calls should be sent direct to the service
provider or through an outbound proxy.
Note: The fields available to configure on the remainder of this tab
are affected by the values chosen in the above two settings.
Configure the remaining settings, typically the values
will be pro vided by your VoIP service provider or system
administrator.
All IP address entries may be provided as dotted decimal
values (a.b.c.d) or as DNS names (e.g. SIP.sangoma.com).
Configure the codec lineup for this installation in
preference order.
e) E1/T1 Config
Start by configuring the Port Setting section. As these
values relate to the physical interface connectivity, once
you have set these values you should never have to return
to reconfigure them.
Choose the required protocol; the framing will usually be
set correctly by leaving the Vega set to ‘auto’.
Select NT (Network) on each Vega interface that is
connected to a PBX interface which is configured as
TE (Terminal Equipment). Ensure NT is not ticked if the
interface is connected to the ISDN network (which is NT)
or is connected to an NT interface on the PBX.
E1/T1 interface 1 is wired as TE and E1/T1 interface 2 is
wired as NT. If this default configuration is changed by the
user then it may be necessary to use cross-over cables in
order to activate the link.
Tip: See the guide on wiki.sangoma.com for more information on
the pinouts and the correct cable configuration.
The number of channels setting only needs to be
changed from auto if the interface is being plugged into a
‘fractional E1’ or a ‘fractional T1’ where only a proportion
of the full number of channels available on the E1 or T1
are being used.
Now configure the ‘Telephone Connections’ details.
