IP Dual Port PBXgateway and Remote System Administrator’s Guide

Essential Configuration – PBXgateway
Once the PBXgateway and Remote are connected, the MC (Management Console)
allows for the configuration of the individual ports according to the requirements of the
individual users and any network requirements according to the corporate IT Manager.
The following is a detailed description of the programming areas that would be considered
“essential” to the proper operation of the PBXgateway.
Do NOT connect the PBXgateway to the PBX or connect the digital telephone(s) to
the Remote until the Setup Wizard has been run. An improperly configured
PBXgateway can cause damage to the PBX line card and an improperly configured
Remote can cause damage to the digital telephone sets.

Essential Port Setup
The PBXgateway Port configuration screen is shown below:
Path:
Gateway->Configuration->Port->Port_1 (and Port_2)
Figure 10: PBXgateway - Port Configuration Screen
1. Port
Enabled
Yes/No - Disabling any unused ports is recommended in order to
reduce any unnecessary traffic on the network link.
2. Setting
User IDs
– A user ID “maps” which port on the Remote connects to a specific
port on the PBXgateway. There are several ways in which this is accomplished:
a) By default, Port Matching is enabled (
Path:
Gateway->Configuration->Connect).
If no user ID is entered on the Remote the user will be prompted to enter the User
ID when connecting to the PBXgateway (by default it is the PBXgateway port
number). The administrator must advise the users of what number to enter when
connecting (i.e. ‘1’ for port 1, ‘2’ for port 2).
b) User IDs can be manually input either in the individual port menus or by use of
the User List feature (
Path:
Gateway->User List). The User list allows for easier
management of multiple users. The main difference with the User List is that a
user can be assigned multiple ports to connect to (typically not used on a one or
two port system).
c) When using multiple Remotes to connect to a single PBXgateway the User IDs
must
be used to specify which user is to connect to which ports on the
PBXgateway. It is recommended that User IDs reflect the user’s extension
