Configuring a PRI (Primary Rate Interface) Gateway involves setting up the device to route voice calls between a traditional ISDN PRI line and a VoIP network.
Connect Hardware:
Plug the PRI cable into the E1/T1 port of the gateway.
Connect the LAN port to your network for web access.
Access Web Interface:
Open a browser and enter the gateway’s default IP address.
Log in using the default credentials (usually admin/admin).
Network Configuration:
Set a static IP or enable DHCP for network connectivity.
Ensure proper subnet and gateway settings.
Trunk Configuration:
Create a SIP trunk by entering the VoIP server details.
Set authentication parameters (SIP username, password, domain).
PRI Settings:
Configure the signaling type (e.g., E1, T1, ISDN, or SS7).
Choose the appropriate switch type (e.g., NI2, 5ESS).
Set the framing and coding options (e.g., CRC4, AMI, B8ZS).
Call Routing:
Define inbound and outbound call rules.
Configure digit manipulation if necessary.
Test & Monitor:
Place test calls to verify functionality.
Monitor logs for troubleshooting.
ter successful configuration, the PRI Gateway ensures seamless VoIP-to-PRI connectivity for efficient call handling.
