Add an ATA device in Control Hub

Innan du börjar

  • Add the VG400 as a device in the Control Hub and create the workspace at the same time.

  • När du lägger till en ATA ska du konfigurera alla nätverksinställningar innan du aktiverar enheten.


     

    Configure network settings before activating the device in Control Hub. After you activate the device, you can't access VG through the Web GUI or SSH. This is because you configured the device in Control Hub and have limited access. You can’t configure network settings such as VLAN, IP address, and subnet mask.

Use the same steps to add a VG400, VG410, or VG420 device.

Configure the ATA device for users and workspaces

Innan du börjar

Add VG400, VG410, or VG420 to a workspace to use for fax and overhead paging service.

Onboard the ATA device for Webex Calling

Under certain circumstances, you may need to manually reconfigure the Cisco VG420, VG410, or VG400 ATA for it to connect to the Webex Calling platform.

Innan du börjar

Kontrollera att du har följande utrustning:

  • A computer with an Ethernet interface

  • An Ethernet cable to connect to your network, and another to connect to your PC.

  • An analog phone, butt set, or other device along with an RJ-11 phone cable to test the analog ports.

  • Avbrottsfri strömförsörjning (UPS) för att tillhandahålla strömförsörjning till säkerhetskopiering.


 

After you onboard the ATA to the Control Hub, any prior configuration settings on the voice gateway are overridden, including the administrator password. Also, the device is usable only with Webex Calling.

To use the device on any network other than the Webex Calling, reset the device to the Cisco factory default configuration.


 

The supported firmware for a VG420/VG410/VG400 ATA to connect with the Webex platform is as follows:

Felsökning

If the device is unable to accept Webex Calling configuration or is unable to register with Webex Calling, perform these steps:

  1. Kontrollera att enhetens MAC-adress är korrekt i Control Hub.

  2. Verify that the device MAC address is assigned to a user/phone in the Control Hub.

  3. Before downloading configuration from Webex Calling, use the show voice port summary command and make sure that all the ports are in onhook state. If any port is in the offlhook state, the Voice Gateway won't process the configuration file downloaded from the Webex Calling.

For the VG410 only, if the device still can't register using the two steps, verify the “vdsp” application is running with the following steps:

  1. From the VG410 console port, run show app-hosting list command and verify that the “vdsp” is in RUNNING state.
  2. If not, run voice vdsp removecommand to remove the “vdsp” application.
  3. Run show app-hosting list command repeatedly and verify that the “vdsp” application is removed.
  4. Run voice vdsp install command to install the “vdsp” application.
  5. Run show app-hosting list command repeatedly and verify that the “vdsp” is in RUNNING state.

If the device still experiences issues, contact your technical support team for assistance.
