Connecting to the NetLink Telephony Gateway
For the initial configuration of each NetLink Telephony Gateway, you should have
the
Wireless Device Planning Worksheet(s)
that was filled out during the installation of the
system. There should be one for each NetLink Telephony Gateway. The following
items included in the
Worksheets
must be known before proceeding with the setup:
•
NetLink Telephony Gateway hostname (usually the default name is replaced
with a locally-designated identifier)
•
PBX (Private Branch Exchange) type
•
Active calls per AP (see the
Configuration Note
for the system’s APs for this
data)
•
IP address (if static IP addresses are established by the LAN administrator)
If you have a DHCP Server, it will assign an IP address to the NetLink
Telephony Gateway. In this case, you can use Telnet to configure and
administer the Gateway and do not need an initial serial connection to
assign the IP address.
9.1
Connect via the Serial Port
The serial connection is used in lieu of DHCP in systems that choose not to assign
NetLink Telephony Gateway IP addresses via a DHCP Server, in which case a static
IP address is required.
1.
Using a DB-9 female, null-modem cable, connect any NetLink Telephony
Gateway to the serial port of a terminal or PC.
2.
Run a terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal™) or use a VT-100
terminal with the following configuration:
Bits per second: 9600
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: None

. These are case
sensitive.

Select a NetLink Telephony Gateway to Administer
After connecting to the NetLink Telephony Gateway, the first Administrative
Console screen is the
Gateway Connection Selection
screen. It allows you to select
the NetLink Telephony Gateway to be administered. Once they are configured, this
screen lists all NetLink Telephony Gateways by hostname and IP address. The
hostname may either be the default name or a custom name established from the
Network Configuration
screen. The following example shows just one NetLink
Telephony Gateway in a system:
