Failing to log into the web interface Failing to log into the web interface When connecting to the Cisco TelePresence ISDN Gateway web interface, you must log in so that the ISDN Gateway can associate the session with your configured user and a set of access privileges. The ISDN Gateway has a set of configured users, and each user has an ID and password that are used for logging in. If you see the Access denied page, you have not been able to log in for one of the following reasons: In

Failing to log into the web interface Getting started with the Cisco TelePresence ISDN Gateway Ensure you have correctly completed the physical setup of the Cisco TelePresence ISDN Gateway (ISDN Gateway) following the instructions in the Getting Started Guide that accompanied it. You must also ensure that your endpoints and MCU are correctly configured to operate with the ISDN Gateway. Before you can make calls using the ISDN Gateway, you need to complete its setup using the web interface

Using the auto attendant Using the auto attendant You can use the auto attendant on the Cisco TelePresence ISDN Gateway to enter the number you want to call directly from your endpoint. If you are calling from an IP endpoint, you should enter a phone number. If you are calling from an ISDN endpoint you should enter an IP address (optionally followed by an extension number or phone number). If your administrator has set up calls to be directed to the auto attendant, then you will see the in

Using the Cisco TelePresence ISDN Gateway for voice-only calls Using the Cisco TelePresence ISDN Gateway for voice-only calls The Cisco TelePresence ISDN Gateway can be used to forward voice-only IP calls to the ISDN network (the PSTN); likewise, it can be used to forward voice-only ISDN calls from the PSTN to IP telephones on the IP network. If you want to use the ISDN Gateway to forward voice-only calls, there are two ways to configure this feature: globally: either o entirely as a

Using the Cisco TelePresence ISDN Gateway for voice-only calls Dial plan configuration You can configure the dial plan to restrict particular called numbers to voice-only calls. In this way, you can configure the ISDN Gateway to allow particular outgoing/incoming ISDN calls to be video- conferencing calls. Using the dial plan therefore allows you greater flexibility (if you need it) than using the global settings on the ISDN settings page. You can use the dial plan to place a call where the

Using the Cisco TelePresence ISDN Gateway for voice-only calls Displaying ISDN port utilization For each ISDN port, you can view details of any port activity for each ISDN channel. To display ISDN port utilization details, go to ISDN > ISDN ports. A message shows the status of ISDN layers 1 (physical) and 2 (D-channel). The same information is shown in the ISDN Status page. Note that if the ISDN Gateway is in leased line mode, there will be no status for layer 2. The following informat

The list enables you to disconnect active calls and to delete completed calls from the list. For active calls, you can display further details (see Displaying detailed call information). Active calls are those calls that are taking place now. The active calls list shows all calls that are

To view additional details about an active call, go to ISDN > ISDN Calls and click more for the call about which you want more information. On the Call details page, the call for which more details are provided is displayed with a number (example: "Call 15 details"). This number is generated by the Cisco Tele

Understanding the dial plan Understanding the dial plan The Cisco TelePresence ISDN Gateway uses the dial plan to determine how to route calls between IP and ISDN networks. When the ISDN Gateway receives a request to initiate a new IP to ISDN or ISDN to IP call, it examines the called number (if available), and uses the dial plan to determine whether to reject the call, find out which number should be called to initiate the outgoing part of the call, and to check the allowed call bandwidth

Note that if 56k is specified for a rule, but the endpoint only supports 64kbps, then the call will be terminated rather than use 56kbps o Maximum bandwidth: used to limit the bandwidth available to for calls to particular numbers, or to allow users to select their own bandwidth (for more information, see Adding and updating dial plan rules) o Encryption settings: whether transparent encryption is to be used an
