The serial connection of the Topex VoiBRIDGE has the following settings:
Bits per second - 115200;
Data bits – 8;
Parity – None;
Stop bits - 1;
Flow Control – None.
Please make sure that the COM port of your PC is configured accordingly!
Then you may connect the serial cable from the Topex equipment to the COM1 port of your
computer, as shown in figure 9:

The local network connection (LAN):
The TOPEX VoiBridge equipment is connected on the local network (LAN) or to the Internet
through the standard UTP Ethernet cable (CAT-5). Since the switching system of the equipment is
auto – negotiation (10 / 100) and auto-crossover you can use:
a. a straight cable in case of connecting to a LAN (switch, hub);
b. a crossover cable in case of connecting the equipment directly to the Ethernet port of your
computer.
The second kind of link is highly recommended when you connect to the Topex gateway in
order to change its IP address: if you connect directly to it, you can avoid both disruptions to the local
network in case of conflicting IP addresses, as well as loss of connection when you are in the middle
of performing changes.
The network cables are inserted with one end in the RJ45 connector (labeled LAN) from the
TOPEX VoiBridge equipment, and with the other end into a PC, switch or hub. The Ethernet
connection directly to your PC is used for configuration of the equipment by means of the OAM
program.
