Power up the equipment.
3.1
Mounting (hardware installation)
A. Installation conditions:
The location of the TOPEX equipment must be airy, open, without obstacles or objects
that could prevent the proper operation of the gateway.
The Ethernet cables that connect the TOPEX VoxiPLUS equipment to the network must
not exceed 100 meters length.
The equipment must be positioned safely from obstacles and as far as possible from the
heat sources, direct sunlight, heavy-duty electric equipments and from equipments
which generate radio interferences.
B. The proper installation:
The equipment is mounted on a flat surface strong enough to hold the weight of the
equipment together with its cables (power supply, Ethernet, Serial, telephone connections). A good
place for equipment installation is represented by a desk, table or shelf.
After the hardware installation of the equipment, the cables must be connected, and the
equipment is powered up.
3.2
Connecting the cables
To assure an adequate operation of the TOPEX VoxiPLUS equipment, the cables must be
connected properly, as shown below:
The serial connection:
The special serial cable must inserted with its RJ45 end in the
serial connector labeled RS232 (RJ45) located on the panel of
the PGVOIP card, and with the other end in the correspondent
connector (DB9) of your PC.
The serial cable is connected to the PC on a RS-232 serial port
(for instance COM1 or COM2 as shown in the image to the
right).
Then it achieves a serial connection for advanced console
management (change of IP address or password, programming
or upgrading the TOPEX VoxiPLUS equipment).
For this type
of equipment, the serial connection cannot be used for the
OAM program.
The serial connection of the TOPEX VoxiPLUS has the following settings:
Bits per second - 115200;
Data bits – 8;
Parity – None;
Stop bits - 1;
Flow Control – None.
