          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
