Add Port to Analog Gateway

A new port can be added to a gateway located at site level without prior knowledge of existing ports.

This is particularly useful on the higher density gateways and in cases where a port is bulk loaded.

VG2XX and VG3XX models (FXS ports) are supported providing a range of port capacities from 2 – 160 ports. VG400 (8 ports max) and VG450 (144 ports max) models (FXS ports) are also supported.

This is done using the Add port to Analog Gateway form (default menu Device Management > IOS > Add port to Analog Gateway).

VOSS-4-UC checks for the first free port space on the gateway, and subsequently adds the port to the gateway.

Upon completion of the transaction, a log entry will show the port number added.

When selecting a Directory Number (DN) to add to a new port:

  • The next available Directory Number from site level INI is pre-populated.
  • The Directory Number drop-down can be used to select alternative Directory Numbers.
  • If a bulk loader or form drop-down does not have the Directory Number field populated, the next number from site level INI is used. If this is not available, the next available number from customer level INI is used.
