Congratulations on your purchase of a Vega Voice Over
IP gateway. This Quick Start Guide will assist you through
the process of configuring your new gateway.
If you would like further details about the parameters
you are configuring or you want to know more about the
capabilities of your Vega, please visit wiki.sangoma.com
and start by looking at the Quick SIP Config reference
guide available in the Vega > Configuration section.
1. Before you Start
We advise that before connecting and using your Vega for
the first time, you visit wiki.sangoma.com and read the
“Safety and Compliance Information” document which
contains important details that you should be aware of.
2. Connecting your Vega 400G
Connect your Vega using its telephony, Earth point,
power and LAN connections.
With all models of Vega 400G, all 4 telephony
connections (E1/T1: 1 to 4) are always available for use.
The capacity of the Vega 400G you have purchased just
affects the number of simultaneous calls that can be
made to/from the VoIP interface. All Vega 400Gs allow
the connection to all 4 telephony interfaces.
For normal operation connect to the main ports – for
details about the operation of the ByPass ports see the
documentation on wiki.sangoma.com.
⚠
WARNING
The Earth point on your Vega must be connected
to a suitable earth. It serves a dual role as a
safety Earth and it also stops noise on telephone
lines in electrically noisy conditions.
LAN interfaces 1 and 2 support 10, 100 or 1000 mbps
connections and as default are configured to negotiate to
the highest bitrate.
It is important that if both LAN 1 and LAN 2 are to
be used that they are connected to separate (non-
overlapping) subnets.
3. Getting an IP address
Vega gateways use DHCP to pick up IP addresses
for its LAN interfaces. Each LAN interface is handled
independently; if the LAN interface fails to get an IP
address from the DHCP server, for example, because
there is no DHCP server on the LAN, then the Vega
will default the IP address of that LAN interface to
169.254.x.y
where x and y are the decimal versions of
the last two bytes of the LAN MAC address. The MAC
addresses for LAN 1 and LAN 2 can be found on the rear
of the Vega gateway near the ethernet ports. The LAN 1
MAC address is always the lower, even number and the
LAN 2 MAC address is the LAN 1 MAC address plus 1.
A calculator that will calculate the 169.254.x.y address from
the MAC address is available in the Vega Tools section of wiki.
sangoma.com.
4. Logging into the Vega
Enter the IP address of your Vega gateway into the
address line of your web browser and press enter or
select “Go”. The Vega will present you with a login
screen:
Enter the username and password.
By default these are set to:
Username = admin
Password = admin
5. Configuring your Vega
Select Quick Config. If a warning message appears
informing that there is already configuration applied,
remove the existing settings and start from the
beginning by selecting “Continue”, and then ticking the
“New Install?” option. This will ensure that any old,
unwanted configuration is removed as you submit your
new settings. Do not tick this option if you are simply
amending existing configuration.

QUICK START GUIDE
⚠
WARNING
To exit Quick Config ALWAYS use either the
Submit or Exit buttons adjacent to the Quick
Config tabs.
DO NOT use the navigation entries on the left
hand menu, as using these may cause you to
lose settings that you want to keep.
a) Basic Config
Start by selecting the basic config tab. If this is a new
installation, ensure that the “New Install?” option is
ticked.
Select the country and choose the appropriate emergency
numbers for the location of the Vega. Select the LAN
settings and change the login password if required.
Note: If the LAN settings have previously been statically
configured, ensure these settings are correctly reflected on the
Basic Config page. Failure to do this may result in the IP address
changing and the Vega becoming inaccessible over the LAN.
b) VoIP
REGISTRATION MODE:
Depending on the installation, if registration is required, it
can be configured as one registration per gateway.
OUTBOUND PROXY:
Choose whether calls should be sent direct to the service
provider or through an outbound proxy.
Note: The fields available to configure on the remainder of this tab
are affected by the values chosen in the above two settings.
Configure the remaining settings, with values pro vided by
your VoIP service provider or system administrator.
All IP address entries may be provided as dotted decimal
values (a.b.c.d) or as DNS names (e.g. SIP.sangoma.com).
Configure the codec lineup for this installation in
preference order.
e) E1/T1 Config
Start by configuring the Port Setting section. As these
values relate to the physical interface connectivity, once
you have set these values you should never have to return
to reconfigure them.
Choose the required protocol; the framing will usually be
set correctly by leaving the Vega set to “auto”.
Select NT (Network) on each Vega interface that is
connected to a PBX interface which is configured as
TE (Terminal Equipment). Ensure NT is not ticked if the
interface is connected to the ISDN network (which is NT)
or is connected to an NT interface on the PBX. Since all
E1/T1 ports are enabled with pin switching, it should not
be necessary to use cross-over cables.
Tip: If required, see the guide on wiki.sangoma.com for more
information on Vega pinouts.
The number of channels setting only needs to be
changed from auto if the interface is being plugged
into a “fractional E1” or a “fractional T1” where only a
proportion of the full number of channels available on the
E1 or T1 are being used.
Now configure the “Telephone Connections” details.
Here is a reference table for Regular Expressions.

f) Saving your Configuration
Press Submit to save, apply and activate the changes
made using Quick Config. Pressing Submit will bring up a
confirmation request. Select OK to continue and activate
the changes or Cancel to go back to the Quick Config.
Selecting OK to the above question will activate most
Quick Config settings. Some parameters, like the IP
address of the Vega, will however require the Vega to
be re-booted. If a reboot is required, the Vega will ask
whether this should occur immediately or whether you
