5 Software Set Up There are two software items to set up prior to operation: 1. The units Internet Protocol (IP) Address, and 2. Your Account Number and PIN Set Up Internet Protocol (IP) Address To set up your Net2Phone MAX you need to assign it an Internet Protocol (IP) Address. There are two types of IP Address configurations that the Net2Phone MAX will accept: 1.) A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) assigned Address 2.) A Static IP Address * If you are unsure which type of IP Address to assign your unit, consult your Network Administrator. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) IP Address Set Up To set up your Net2Phone MAX to accept a DHCP IP Address: 1.) After connecting your Yap Max to your LAN, connect the 9-pin RS- 232C cable from PC s COM1 port into the console port on MPU card. Use D-sub 9-pin, male-to-female, straight-through connection cable. 2.) Start HyperTerminal (in windows95/98/nt) or equivalent terminal emulator application program. 3.) Set serial communication parameters as following table Baud rate Parity None Character size 8 Stop Bit 1 Flow Control None 4.) Execute disconnect command and then execute connect command again (Applies only to HyperTerminal). 5.) Power on the Net2Phone MAX, then wait while the booting messages of Net2Phone MAX are displayed. 6.) If login prompt is displayed, login by using one of the following user ID s. user ID root Password [factory default] n2p 3

11 NEXT STEP, complete your Network and Voice Configuration. 9

12 Network and Voice Configuration DHCP Users: If you are using a DHCP IP Address you do not have to complete these steps. Static Route Users: If you are not using a DHCP IP Address, then do the following steps: To configure your Network and Voice information: 1) Go to your Local Area Network (LAN) Administrator and request the following information: a) An IP Address b) A Net Mask c) A Default Gateway d) A DNS Server IP (Primary) e) A DNS Server IP (Secondary) 2) After you have obtained the necessary information, go to the Max Web Manager webpage and select Network and Voice Config from the lefthand column. 3) In the IP Configuration section fill in the information you have just obtained above. ** 4) Click Save when you are finished. 5) Reboot your Net2Phone MAX system. ** If you don t have the network information c),d),e) listed in step 1), then fill in the input boxes with the number Do not leave the input boxes blank. *** If your network uses firewall system, then you must make following request to the network administrator. The following ports must be opened through the firewall: UDPPORT=6801 UDPPORT=21000, TDPPORT=21000, The ports must be allowed to make an external connection and a connection back in. The network administrator must make sure that UDP port 6801 is open. The other UDPPORT & TCPPORT can be anything in the range from Once these port numbers are decided, the end user (Net2Phone MAX user) must set up the TCP start port and UDP start port parameters in the Network configuration table as specified by the network administrator. If there are more than one user, then the network administrator must open up extra 2 UDPPORT & 2 TCPPORT per additional user in consecutive order. 10

13 PBX Configuration PBX configuration page can be accessed by clicking PBX Config link. This page shows the PBX configurations of the Net2Phone MAX T1/E1 system. Channel type configuration table enables the user to change the attribute of each channel which is one of 3 types : incoming(ic)/outgoing(og)/bothway(bw). User must select the slot number (1~3), channel type (ic/og/bw), and the range of channel numbers (0~31). The channel range is limited by the trunk type and the signaling type. If T1 trunk is used, then the range is reduced to 0~23. 11

14 And if ISDN PRI signaling with T1 trunk is used, then the range is reduced to 0~22. { * For the E1 trunk, channel 0 and 16 is reserved for sync & signaling channel. So attribute change is not possible.} Current state table shows the current attributes of available channels. Digital trunk configuration table displays the trunk type, line coding method, frame format, signaling method, voice gain, and input gain. Following table shows possible input parameters. {Since voice gain and input gain parameter controls are only used when signaling or echo problem is encountered, it is recommended that average user does not modify these values.} Digital Trunk Configuration Trunk Type E1,T1 Line Code * AMI, HDB3, B8ZS Frame Mode ** D4, ESF, SLS96, CRC4, NOCRC4 Signaling Type *** R2, DTMF, ISDN Voice Gain -31~31 dbm Input Gain -31~31 dbm * AMI is used by both E1, T1 while HDB3 is used only by E1 and B8ZS is used only by T1 ** D4, ESF, SLS96 are used only by T1, and CRC4, NOCRC4 are used only by E1 *** R2 signaling is not used in North America. Following parameters are recommended for initial set up. PRI card T1 card Trunk type T1 T1 Line coding B8ZS AMI Frame Mode ESF D4 Signaling type National ISDN 2 (NI-2) DTMF 12

15 ISDN configuration table displays the operation mode and the dialing mode for ISDN service. ISDN Configuration Operation mode User, Network Dialing mode Overlap, enbloc User mode is used when the ISDN PRI board is in network mode. Network mode is used when the ISDN PRI board is in user mode. Overlap mode is used when user wants to send phone number digits separately one by one. Enbloc mode is used when user wants to send phone number digits as one continuous frame. * Enbloc mode must be used for NI2(National ISDN 2) signaling. 13
