Connection to power supply (old models without PoE)

Connect the FXS gateway using the power supply and the cable provided with the gateway, as it is shown on the picture:



Connection to Ethernet

The gateway has one LAN port configured in Bridge mode and one WAN port set up as a DHCP Client. Connect one of two ports to the same network as the PBX or an external DHCP server (for instance, its router) as shown on the picture:



As soon as the DHCP server assigns an IP address to the gateway, you can pass to the next step of the gateway configuration.

  • In case the PBX is used as a DHCP server, the gateway is detected on the network automatically
  • In case an external DHCP server is used, check the list of the active leases to detect the IP address assigned to the gateway

Connection to the line

FXS gateways have 1 or 4 ports (depending on the model) on the rear panel, marked as Phone1-Phone4. Connect the ports to the analog phones.
