Set up an Analog Gateway (provider deployment)

Pre-requisites

• Add an IOS device in VOSS Automate at the Customer level hierarchy. To add an IOS device, see Set up an IOS Device.

• Ensure that the site-level dial plan is applied on the site where the gateway is being added.

Note

VOSS Automate supports SCCP and MGCP protocols. It does not support BRI endpoints. Do not add slots or modules or subunits for BRI.

Perform these steps:

1. Log in as provider, reseller, or customer administrator.

2. Choose Apps Management > IOS > Analog Gateways.

3. Click Add.

4. Choose the required hierarchy path from the drop-down and click OK.

5. On the Gateway tab, complete, at minimum, the mandatory Gateway Fields.

6. On the Gateway Units tab, click + to expand Modules, and complete, at minimum, the mandatory Gateway Units - Modules Fields.

7. On the Endpoints tab, click + to expand the SCCP or MGSP endpoints, and complete, at minimum, the mandatory:

   • SCCP Endpoints Fields.

   • MGCP Endpoints Fields.

   Note

   Gateway endpoints will be shown in the following order on the Endpoints tab of the form:

   Slot > Subunit > Port Number, for example:

   0-0-0
   0-0-1
   2-0-0
   2-0-1
   2-0-2
   

8. On the Config tab, click + to expand the Product Specific Configuration Layout, and complete the required Config: Product Specific Configuration Layout Fields.

9. Click Save.

There are few scenarios that show the expected behavior of an Analog gateway when adding, deleting, or modifying a gateway.

Successful Scenario	Failure Scenario
Adding an Analog device with a phone line.	Removing the phone line from the endpoint.
Adding an Analog gateway without using enable command builder.	Adding a phone line after adding the command builder.
Removing the command builder after adding an analog gateway with command builder.	Adding an analog gateway without a phone line after adding a phone line to an endpoint. Note: Ensure to add the Directory Names to both endpoints.

This is a mandatory field Note: Add only those Units (Modules) and Subunits that are listed in the drop-down list, without duplicate the units and subunit numbers. If duplicating entry is made for a slot, then the new slot overwrites the older configuration. You may lose previously configured endpoints. For VG310 model, do not choose any module for slot 1.
Module *	Choose the available module from the drop-down list. For example: NM-4VWIC-MBRD. Note: Only modules that are available for the slot appear in the list.
Subunits *	Click + to expand Subunits. This is a mandatory field.
Subunit Position *	Choose the subunit position from the drop-down list. For example: 0. Note: Subunit position 1 on the VG310 gateway has no available hardware by design, so choosing a value of 1 in this drop-down will not allow you to continue. Please choose a different subunit position to continue setting up your gateway.
Subunit *	Choose the subunit from the drop-down list. For example: VIC3-2FXS-E/DID-SCCP.

Note

When managing Gateways Units for Analog Gateways on the on the Legacy Admin GUI, the Slot number and Subunit Position may disappear from the form, but values are captured.
