EAG Gateway Series Administration Guidelines
MAG-06007 Rev. A
5 System Configuration
5.1 Login
1.
Power up the EAG and obtain the IP address.
EAG by default uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
1
), and will automatically
detect an IP address; if you cannot get the IP address (when you connect to the PC directly), use
manufacturer’s default IP address “192.168.2.240”.
If the user network uses DHCP
After power up (when user line LCD stops flashing), if the gateway uses MGCP protocol, it will
announce repeatedly the IP address to the first off-hook user; if using SIP protocol, you can
press “##” to get the IP address through any user line at any time.
If the user network uses static IP address
When DHCP service is not on (or when EAG is directly connected with the PC), the EAG will use
the default IP address 192.168.2.218. If you cannot login to the gateway interface, it may be
because your PC is not in the same network with EAG’s IP address 192.168.2.218. You need to
change your PC address to be in the same network as that of the gateway. If after all these effort
you still cannot connect or have questions, please contact Essence’s technical support group.
2.
Open Internet Explorer and enter in the Address field EAG IP address (for example:
192.168.2.218). After you enter username and password, you will see the web interface which is
shown in Figure 14.

EAG has two levels of management: the administrator level (default password: voip) and the operator

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol used to assign TCP/IP addresses to client
servers. Each client server is connected to the central DHCP server, which gives the network configuration of
each client, including the IP address, gateway and DNS server information.
