4 Installation site Installation site Vpacket 5100/6100 VDRs are designed to be installed on a wall, within a standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack, or on a desktop. You should observe these guidelines: Ensure that the side of the unit with the fans (right-hand side panel if you are facing the unit from head-on) is not placed in the top-most position; this would defeat the air-flow and encourage overheating. Collocate the punchdown panel and voice ports. Ensure sufficient clearance for airflow and cable routing. The LEDs on the front panel should be easily visible and cables to the connectors on the back panel should be easily accessible. Ensure that the indoor room temperature does not exceed 50 C (122 F). Maintain the 5100/6100 VDR by keeping the unit clean and free of dust and other contaminating particles before, during, and after installation.

The telephony commands are accessible through the telephony command shell. To enter the telephony shell, enter tel at the VPacket# prompt. MGCP configuration To configure the 5100/6100 VDR to support MGCP, you need to set each voice port, set the ports to point to a softswitch (or group of softswitches), set the coding type for each TCID, and set the coding profile usage for each coding profile. Note. You can enter telephony commands individually at the prompt or collect them into a text file and copy the settings into the telephony subdirectory for uploading. Setting the voice ports VPacket# tel telephony# set tcid 0 notify_entity :2427 dynamic telephony# set tcid 1 notify_entity :2427 dynamic (continue to set voice ports 2-22) 8 Vpacket 6100 Series QuickStart Guide

Vpacket recommends that you assign them sequentially (see Example). When this command is executed, the endpoint attempts to register with the softswitch. The naming convention (a001...a012) is an example; it is not a VDR standard. The name of the endpoint_id must match that configured in the Call Agent's database. Setting the coding type VPacket# tel telephony# set coding 0 coding_type tx g711_mu telephony# set coding 1 coding_type tx g711_mu (continue to set the coding type for TCIDs 2-22) telephony# set coding 23 coding_type tx g711_mu telephony# activate telephony# commit Vpacket 6100 Series QuickStart Guide 9

Saving configuration changes You need to commit all system changes and then save to write changes to the Flash memory. You can use either the commit command to retain all changes or the commit ip command to retain only IP interface changes. The save command then writes the changes to the Flash memory. For telephony changes first you need to issue the activate command and then commit command (from within the telephony shell). Vpacket 6100 Series QuickStart Guide 11
