Configuring the QuadroM-E1/T1 

 

To configure the QuadroM-E1/T1 basically, four steps are needed: 

Step1:

 Basic Configuration using the System Configuration Wizard and the 

Internet Configuration Wizard. 

Step 2:

 Entering the E1/T1 Settings provided by your PSTN Provider. 

Step 3:

 Specifying the Call Routing paths according to your dial plan. 

 

The most important settings required in Step 1: Basic Configuration are:  

Static IP address for the WAN Interface. If you use a DHCP server, please config-
ure it to deliver a static IP address. In this case, QuadroM-E1/T1 will get its IP ad-
dress automatically, as it acts as a DHCP client on the WAN side. 
 
Bandwidth
 – used to regulate the number of calls allowed by the QuadroM-E1/T1 to 
avoid degradation in low bandwidth conditions. 

 

Regional Settings - if your QuadroM-E1/T1 is located outside the United States, it 
is important to properly configure your line connections to the PSTN in your location  
 
Firewall
 - if your QuadroM-E1/T1 is connected behind a router configure the firewall 
to make the QuadroM-E1/T1 accessible for management. 

 

To customize these settings, connect a PC to QuadroM-E1/T1's LAN port, log in and com-
plete the Basic Configuration as described in the following sections.
