Set up an Analog Gateway

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.

• If applicable, 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 behaviour 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.
