Chapter 1: Overview
Vdex is a hybrid phone system which interoperates with the telephone and Internet
networks to utilize the best of both. Vdex performs as a PBX, voice messaging system
and voice over internet (VoIP) gateway, providing access to low-cost calls, call routing
over the internet to remote phones and office connected to the Internet virtually anywhere
in the world. Vdex operates using a modified, hardened version of Asterisk to run on its
multiprocessor platform.
Chapter 2: Physical Connectivity
Remove the Vdex system, power supply, and network cable from the Vdex box. Connect
the network cable to the LAN port on Vdex system and to an available port on your
network router, switch, or hub. Connect up to four analog telephone lines to FXO ports 1-
4 as shown in the diagram below. Power the Vdex system on. Allow up to 5 minutes for
the system to startup.
Please Note: You must connect at least one telephone line to FXO port 1 to dial 911 for
emergencies by default. This can be changed later as needed (see outbound dialing
rules) for details.
Example Network Configurations:
The following example shows two common network configurations. The first shows the
Vdex being connected directly to Cable/DSL router. The second shows the Vdex being
connected to a hub or switch.
