1. Introduction

MG3000 FXS series IADs support 4 or 8 calls simultaneously. It also provides up-stream and down-stream network ports. The down-stream port can connect to PC directly for data and voice communication integration.
MG3000 FXS series IAD is a small and compact device which can be hung on wall along the corridor or just put on the desk. Taking advantage of current broadband MAN, it can be used to provide convergence for data and voice .
The basic configuration is as following:

If you want to known the configuration on asterisk, please refer Asterisk@home Handbook Wiki

2. Power and Lines

3. Default Configuration

Users can access WEB management through WAN interface. The default IP address for WAN interface is 192.168.0.2.
The two default system users are: supervisor “root” with the password “gohigh” and administrative user “admin” with the password “gohigh”.

4. Login WEB Management

Firstly, run PING command from a PC to WAN port, e.g. ping 192.168.0.2, to make sure that the WAN port is successfully connected .Then, start the browser in the PC, input IP address of WAN port , e.g. 192.168.0.2 , press ENTER to access into login window.
Users can use LAN interface to access WEB management as well. If there is NAT used in network, the default IP address for LAN interface is 10.10.0.1. At first, choose one IP address from 10.10.0.0 segment for your PC, such as 10.10.0.100. Secondly, try ping 10.10.0.1 to make sure the connection to LAN port is good. At last, start IE browser, enter 10.10.0.1 in address link，press Enter to access into WEB Log on window.
In the login window, type in username and the password, and press “OK” button .If successful, the management interface will be shown immediately. The management window is as followings:

5. IP address Configuration

After Login to WEB management window, the first step is to configure IP address of WAN port on IAD under the menu of Quick Configuration.. If the IAD device get IP address from LAN dynamically ,choose “Get IP address dynamically” .If static address is used , choose “use the following IP address”, and then configure IP address , mask and default gateway. If IAD connects ADSL adapter directly, then choose “Get IP address through PPPoE” and then fill in the ADSL username and password.

6. Protocol configuration

The SIP protocol is suggested to use with asterisk. In the menu of “Registrar Status” under “Quick Configuration” item , check “enable registration”, then enter IP address of Your Asterisk server, for example 220.134.16.22. Enter sip port for asterisk server in “registrar server receiving port” option with default port as 5060 for SIP. Enter registration period into “Registry Period” with the suggested value of 60s (the default one is 3600s).

Fill in the extension number as “user name” and password in “SIP configuration” under sub-menu of “Basic configuration”.

In the “quick configuration” page, endpoint configuration part, the Exterior phone number can be filled with the extension number of each port.

7. Save configuration and system reboot

After finishing works above, you should save configuration and reboot system . It’s better to repeat operation again after modifying the configuration every time.

8. Make a phone call

After rebooting the system , user can make a phone call through IAD right away.

9. Point-to-Point call

If there is no need to register to Softswitch ,Point-to-Point communication function can be used (not applied for MGCP). All the number you dialed will be routed according to the routing table which has been configured in the IAD. For instance, there is a number as 01062043030 with according reachable IP address of 192.216.225.3. In the route list, enter “010” as prefix, “192.216.225.3” as destination address, and all of the minimum and maximum length of telephone numbers for this IP address.

10. IP address inquiry

User can inquire the IP address directly from telephone connected to IAD device. After dialing “***#”, user will receive a voice to read out the IP address.

11. Restore Factory Setup

If user want to restore the factory configuration, follow up the procedure: : Shut down the power, and then turn on the device again with holding the reset button . For about 1 minute ,loose the reset button when the RUN light blinks for abound 1.5s on and 0.5s off .When the device is started, it will restore to factory default setup .
