HT8XX Peering with GXW410X
OVERVIEW
This document describes basic configuration to peer HT8XX series with GXW410X. This configuration
applies to users seeking to add a GXW410X not only as a remote extension but also as an external
PSTN trunk.

The document will demonstrate these two scenarios to set up HT8XX series with the GXW410X:

• Scenario 1: Configure one HT8XX to be peered with GXW410X

Figure 1 : Scenario 1: Peering one HT8XX with GXW410X

• Scenario 2: Configure two HT8XX to be peered with GXW410X

Figure 2 : Scenario 2: Peering multiple HT8XX with GXW410X

Note: GXW410X series includes GXW4104 and GXW4108

SCENARIO 1: PEERING ONE HT8XX WITH GXW410X
A common scenario which involves one HT8XX (ATA) and GXW410X (FXO gateway) but doesn’t involve
any SIP server. This scenario allows organization with remote location to access FXO trunks through IP
network.

In this scenario, we will proceed first from the web GUI of HT8XX, then on the GXW41XX in order to
configure the Peer Trunk on both sides.

Figure 3 : Peering one HT8XX with GXW410X

HT8XX Configuration
On the HT8XX web GUI, access to “Profile1”, then set the following:

1. Profile Active  YES

Activates this account In order to get the Profile1 operational.

2. Primary SIP Server  Enter here the IP address of the GXW410X

3. SIP Transport  UDP

In our Example, we will use the protocol UDP as transport protocol.

4. NAT Traversal  NO
This setting will force the HT8XX to use its private IP address while making calls through peering link
with GXW410X.

5. SIP Registration  NO
Registration not needed since this example is a peering between GXW410X and HT8XX.

6. Outgoing Call without Registration  YES

This enables the ability to place outgoing calls even if the account is not registered.

 Figure 4 : Profile Settings

Notes:

Once the settings above are set, make sure to set the following additional settings as bellow:

7. Local SIP Port  5060

Defines the local port to use by the HT814 for listening and transmitting SIP packets

8. Use Random SIP Port  NO

This option forces the HT8XX to use port configured under “Local SIP Port” option

FXS Ports Settings:

• Port 1: SIP User ID: 123 | Password: 123 | Name: 123 | Profile ID: Profile 1 | Enable Port: Yes

GXW410X Configuration
1. In order to activate the profile configured on GXW410X, please access to GXW410X web GUI
under “Accounts”  “Account 1”  “General Settings” then set the Following:

a. Account Active YES

b. Account Name  Specify a name to identify this profile.

c. SIP Server  Enter the IP address of the HT8XX that you are peering with GXW410X.

Figure 6 : General Settings

2. Now under “Accounts”  “Account 1”  “Network Settings”

a. NAT traversal (STUN)  NO

This setting will force the GXW410X to use its private IP address while making calls
through peering link with HT8XX

Figure 7 : NAT Traversal

3. Under ”Accounts”  “Account 1” ”SIP Settings” :

a. SIP Registration  NO
Registration not needed since this example is a peering between GXW410X and HT8XX

b. SIP Transport  UDP

On our Example, we will use the protocol UDP as transport protocol

Figure 8 : SIP Registration

4. Under “FXO lines”  “Setting” then set the following:

a. Number of Rings Before Pick up 4

This is the number of rings the gateway will wait to send the call to the VOIP side in case
the Caller ID has yet to be detected. If there is CID, information the call will be sent right
away. If your lines do not have the CID service set this to 1.

Figure 9 : Number of Rings Settings

5. Under “FXO lines”  “Dialing” ”Dialing to PSTN” and set the following:

a. Wait For Dial Tone  Yes or No

Set it to “YES” or “NO” depending on the setting that suits your FXO lines.

b. Stage Method  1
Setting this parameter to 1 will direct PSTN call from the VOIP endpoint.

c. Min Delay Before Dialing Out  500

It’s the time that GXW410X will wait before dialing out; available range 500ms to
65000ms).

Figure 10 : Dialing to PSTN

6. Access to GXW410X web GUI under “FXO lines”  “Dialing” ” Port Scheduling Schema”, then
set as follow:

Round-robin and/or Flexible  rr:1-4;

With this setting, the GXW410X will behave as follow:
a. The VoIP endpoint wants to make an outgoing call through PSTN line.

b. GXW410X receives the INVITE from the VOIP endpoint.

c. GXW410X checks first the availability of FXO-4 since it has the highest Port-ID.

d. If FXO-4 is available, the call will try to go through FXO-4.

e. If FXO-4 is busy, the call will try to go through FXO-3.

f. Then If FXO-3 is busy, the call will try to go through FXO-2.

g. Then If FXO-2 is busy, the call will try to go through FXO-1.

7. Under “Settings”  “Channels Settings” then set the following:

 SIP Channel Settings:

a. Local SIP Listen Port  ch1-4:5060++;

The ++ indicates increments by two, so port 1 is set at 5060, port at 5062 and so on. This
setting can be used with Round Robin and/or Flexible setting below to configure different
ports to be placed under different Round Robin groups.

 Calling to VOIP:

a. User ID  ch1-4:123;
This parameter allows users to configure a User ID or extension number to be
automatically dialed upon FXO line off-hook. (In our example, we will send it to User ID
123)

b. SIP Server  ch1-4: p1;

Specify the Profile of the user id configured above (p1 stands for Profile 1, p2 stands for
Profile 2 and so on).

c. SIP Destination Port  ch1-4: 5060;

Setting this port to 5060 will allow this GXW410X to always redirect the incoming PSTN
calls to the HT8XX which is reachable via port 5060

Note:

If your setup requires that FXS port ‘x’ user be able to access only FXO port ‘x’ for outbound calls, you
can use either the One-To-One mapping or the Port-To-Port Mapping feature.

• One-To-One mapping between HT8XX and GXW410X. [One-To-One mapping]

• Port-To-Port Mapping between HT8XX and GXW410X. [Port-To-Port mapping]

One-To-One mapping
The One-to-One mapping feature will allow to the HT8XX FXS port to specify the port number ‘x’ that user
will use to access GXW410X FXO port ‘x’ for outbound calls.

Figure 13: Port Scheduling Schema

To enable this One-To-One Mapping feature between HT8XX FXS ports and GXW410X FXO ports, you
will need to access to GXW410X web GUI under “FXO lines”  “Dialing” ” Port Scheduling Schema” ,
then set as follow:

Page | 9
HT8XX Peering with GXW410X
Prefix to specify Port  99

This setting allows you the power to send outbound calls from the VOIP endpoint to a specific FXO line.
With this setting, the GXW410X will behave as follow:

1. User tries to make an outbound call to an external number 5669300 via GXW410X FXO port 1

2. User should add the prefix 991 to the external called numbers.

3. In this case the user will dial 99-1-5669300 where :

• 99: represents the prefix;

• 1 : represents port number 1

• 5669300 : represents external number

4. Once received, the GXW4108 gateway will strip off 991 from the dialed number 9915669300

5. GXW410X will route the call to port 1 and make call to 5669300 over the PSTN network connected
to FXO1.

Figure 14: One-To-One Mapping

Port-To-Port mapping
Port to port mapping feature will force all calls placed on a specific FXS port “x” to be completed through
the PSTN network that is connected to a specific FXO port “x”. This is similar to a one to one mapping
configuration except it is hardcoded to be always routed through a specific FXO port. In this case, the
End-user is not required to dial any extra numbers (see example above in page 10).

Port to port mapping is configured using the Dial Plan feature on the HT8XX. The HT8XX supports $P, $p
as port numbers. Port to port mapping from the HT8XX to GXW410X is configured as follows:

• GXW410X : prefix to specific port: 99 ---- default settings on FXO GXW

• HT8XX : dial plan: { <=99$P>x+ }

So, if the HT8XX configured with this dial plan, any number dialing from a specific port will be prefixed
with 99 and a port number:

1. User dials 5669300 from his analog phone which is connected to port 1
2. HT8XX will append this number with the appropriate dial plan configured (HT8XX will be
9915669300)

3. Once received , The GXW4108 gateway will strip off 991 from the dialed number 9915669300
4. GXW410X will route the call to port 1 and make call to 5669300 over the PSTN network
connected to FXO1.

SCENARIO 2: PEERING MULTIPLE HT8XX WITH GXW410X
A common scenario which involves multiple HT8XX (ATA) and GXW410X (FXO gateway) but does not
involve any SIP server. This scenario allows organization with remote location to access FXO trunks
through IP network.

Figure 16: Peering Multiple HT8XX with GXW410X

In this scenario, we will use two HT8XX, users can apply same configuration if more than two HT8XX are
used.

To configure this scenario, you will need to follow the steps bellow:

• Step 1: Configure the first HT8XX to be peered with the GXW410X

• Step 2: Configure the second HT8XX to be peered with the GXW410X.
• Step 3: Configure GXW410X to be peered with both HT8XX.

P a g e | 12
HT8XX Peering with GXW410X
Step 1: First HT8XX Configuration
Please refer to the page 5 where you will find the steps (from step 1 until step 8) to configure the first
HT8XX, then you will need to set the FXS port settings as follow:

FXS Ports Settings:

• Port 1: SIP User ID: 111 | Password: 111 | Name: 111 | Profile ID: Profile 1 | Enable Port: Yes

Figure 17: FXS Ports settings of the first HT8XX

Step 2: Second HT8XX Configuration

Please refer to the page 5 where you will find steps (from step 1 until step 8) to configure the first HT8XX,
then you will need to set the FXS port settings as follow:

FXS Ports Settings:

• Port 1: SIP User ID: 222 | Password: 222 | Name: 222 | Profile ID: Profile 1 | Enable Port: Yes

Figure 18: FXS Ports settings of the second HT8XX

Step 3: GXW410X Configuration

1. In order to activate the first Account configured on GXW410X , please access to GXW410X web
GUI under “Accounts”  “Account 1”  “General Settings” then set the Following:
a. Account Active  YES
b. Account Name  Specify a name to identify this profile
c. SIP Server  Enter the IP address of the First HT8XX that you are peering the GXW410X
with

Figure 19: General Settings

2. In order to activate the second account profile configured on GXW410X , please access to
GXW410X web GUI under “Accounts”  “Account 2”  “General Settings” then set the
Following:
a. Account Active  YES
b. Account Name  Specify a name to identify this profile
c. SIP Server  Enter the IP address of the Second HT8XX that you are peering the GXW410X
with

3. Please refer to the page 7 and page 8 where you will find the steps (from step 2 until step 6)
which show how to configure the remaining GXW410X settings.

4. At this stage, you will need to configure the last step which is step 7 called “Channels Settings”,
so under “Settings”  “Channels Settings” then set the following:

 SIP Channel Settings:

a. Local SIP Listen Port  ch1-4:5060++;

The ++ indicates increments by two, so port 1 is set at 5060, port at 5062 and so on. This
setting can be used with Round Robin and/or Flexible setting below to configure different
ports to be placed under different Round Robin groups.

 Calling to VoIP:

a. User ID ch1:111; ch2:222;ch3-4:;

This parameter allows users to configure a User ID or extension number to be
automatically dialed upon FXO line off-hook. (In our example, we will send it to User ID
123)

b. SIP Server ch1:p1; ch2:p2;ch3-4:;

Specify the Profile of the user id configured above (p1 stands for Profile 1, p2 stands for
Profile 2 and so on).

c. SIP Destination Port  ch1-4:5060;

Setting this port to 5060 will allow this GXW410X to always redirect the incoming PSTN
calls to the HT8XX reachable via port 5060
