Vega 5000
Quick Start Guide
Congratulations on your purchase of a Vega 5000 Voice Over IP
gateway. This Quick Start Guide will assist you through the process
of configuring your new gateway.
If you would like further details about the parameters you are
configuring or you want to know more about the capabilities of your
Vega 5000 please visit
www.VegaAssist.com
and start by looking at
the Quick SIP Config reference guide available in the Vega 5000 >
Configuration section.
1. Before you start
We advise that before connecting and using your Vega 5000 for the
first time, you visit the
www.VegaAssist.com
website and read the
‘Safety and Compliance Information’ document which contains
important details that you should be aware of.
2. Connecting your Vega 5000
Connect your Vega 5000 using its telephony, Earth point, power and
LAN connections.
The model of Vega 5000 that you have purchased determines the
interfaces that you will see on the rear of your gateway. The Vega
5000/24 has a single FXS telephony connector and the Vega 5000/48
has 2 FXS telephony connectors.
The FXS telephony connectors are known by various names, RJ21,
Amphenol and Telco 50. These connectors support 24 2-wire
analogue telephone connections.
For EMC compliance you must attach the Ferrite collar(s) supplied
around the cable leaving each RJ21 / Amphenol / Telco 50, close to
the Vega 5000.
You should connect to these connectors as follows:
Vega 5000/24 and Vega 5000/48 – first 24 ports:
FXS interface 1 (IF:0101) = pin 1 and pin 26
FXS interface 2 (IF:0102) = pin 2 and pin 27
…
FXS interface 24 (IF:0124) = pin 24 and pin 49
(pins 25 and 50 are unused)
Vega 5000/48 – ports 24 to 48:
FXS interface 25 (IF:0125) = pin 1 and pin 26
FXS interface 26 (IF:0126) = pin 2 and pin 27
…
FXS interface 48 (IF:0148) = pin 24 and pin 49
(pins 25 and 50 are unused)
FXO fallback ports (IF:0201 and IF:0202) are connected through RJ45
(cat 5) or RJ11 connections.
WARNING!
The Earth point on your Vega must be connected
to a suitable earth. It serves a dual role as a safety
Earth and it also stops noise on telephone lines in
electrically noisy conditions.
LAN interfaces 1 and 2 may be connected to any 10, 100 or 10/100
Mbps hub, switch or router.
It is important that if both LAN 1 and LAN 2 are to be used that
they are connected to separate (non-overlapping) subnets.
3. Getting an IP address
The Vega 5000 uses DHCP to pick up IP addresses for its LAN
interfaces. Each LAN interface is handled independently; if the LAN
interface fails to get an IP address from the DHCP server, for
example, because there is no DHCP server on the LAN, then the
Vega will default the IP address of that LAN interface to 169.254.x.y
where x and y are the decimal versions of the last two bytes of the
LAN MAC address. The LAN 1 MAC address can be found
underneath the barcode on the rear of the Vega 5000 gateway. The
LAN 2 MAC address can be found beside the barcode. (The LAN 2
MAC address is the LAN 1 MAC address plus 1).
A calculator that will calculate the 169.254.x.y address from the MAC address
is available in the Vega Tools section of www.VegaAssist.com
4. Logging into the Vega
Enter the IP address of your Vega 5000 into the address line of your
web browser and press enter or select ‘Go’.
The Vega will present you with a login screen:
Enter the username and password.
By default these are set to:
Username = admin
Password = admin
5. Configuring your Vega
Select Quick Config. If a warning message appears informing you
that that there is already configuration applied, you can remove the
existing settings and start from the beginning by selecting ‘Continue’
then ticking the ‘New Install ?’ option. This will ensure that any old,
unwanted configuration is removed as you submit your new settings.
Do not tick this option if you are simply amending existing config.
WARNING!
To exit Quick Config ALWAYS use either the
Submit or Exit buttons adjacent to the Quick
Config tabs. DO NOT use the navigation entries
on the left hand menu, as using these may cause
you to lose settings that you want to keep.
a) Basic Config
Start by selecting the basic config tab.
If this is a new installation, ensure that the ‘New Install ?’ option is
ticked.
Select the country and then choose which emergency numbers are
appropriate for the location of the Vega.
Now select the LAN settings and then the codecs to use for VoIP
calls.
b) VoIP
Choose whether the Vega is going to route calls to a VoIP service
provider or Proxy, or alternatively whether the Vega is going to route
calls to up to 8 specified VoIP devices.
If the VoIP service provider / proxy option is chosen then specify the
proxy and registrar details. These will be provided by your VoIP
service provider / proxy administrator.
Depending on your preferred configuration, if registration is required, it
may be configured as one registration per gateway, or as one
registration per FXS port.
For Specified VoIP device mode, specify the IP address of the device
and the list of phone numbers it supports.
All IP address entries may be provided as dotted decimal values
(a.b.c.d) or as DNS names (e.g. SIP.VegaStream.com).
The list of telephone numbers is a comma or space separated list of
telephone numbers to be routed to that destination. The telephone
numbers may include regular expression characters to make them
telephone number ranges rather than just single telephone numbers.
c) FXS
Enable and disable the interfaces as required and set up the
telephone number(s) to route to each interface. If you have
telephones attached, typically you will have a single number
associated with each interface. If the interfaces are connected to the
analogue trunk interfaces of a PBX then typically each interface will
have a number range that needs to be routed to each interface.
d) FXO
Set up the telephone numbers to route to each FXO interface, using
comma or space separated lists of telephone numbers and regular
expressions if ranges are required.
When a call arrives on an FXO interface the Vega gets alerted to the
fact by receiving a ringing voltage on its interface; the incoming call
does not supply any dialled number information to the Vega. The
Vega therefore needs to be configured with a telephone number to
forward these incoming telephony calls to. In the ‘Incoming Forward’
field enter the telephone number that calls received on this telephone
interface should be forwarded to.
If the Vega is powered down or is being upgraded, the first two FXS
interfaces fallback to a hardwired connection through to the two FXO
interfaces. This allows calls to be made through the first two FXS
interfaces (to these two FXO interfaces) even when the Vega is
unable to actively process calls.
e) Saving your configuration
Press Submit to save, apply and activate the changes you have made
using Quick Config. Pressing Submit will bring up a confirmation
request. Select OK to continue and activate the changes or Cancel to
take you back to the Quick Config pages.
Selecting Ok to the above question will activate most Quick Config
settings. Some parameters, like the IP address of the Vega, will
however require the Vega to be re-booted. If a reboot is required the
Vega will ask whether this should occur immediately or whether you
wish to do it manually later. If later is selected, the reboot button on
the left hand side menu will be left RED to indicate that a reboot is still
required to activate certain new parameters.
If you decide that you want to abandon the changes just made in
Quick Config then select Exit. A confirmation request will be
displayed, select OK to exit or cancel to return to the Quick Config
pages.
6. Archive the configuration
Save the configuration in an archive, off the Vega, by selecting Expert
Config > System, then in the Configuration section select the
Download button and save the file config.txt
