Before You Start
Please read this guide thoroughly as it describes the basic installation of
the device. Additional configuration needed to deploy the device in a
specific environment can be performed with the help of online help.
This guide also provides an example of a typical 4610W device
deployment that can be used as a guideline for your installation.
Requirements for Installation
•
A computer with a web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or
Netscape Navigator or any other browser of your choice
•
At least one Ethernet cable
•
Following information supplied by the VoIP Service Provider
o IP address of the WAN interface
o if T1 is being used for WAN connection then:
�
T1 frame format
�
Layer 2 protocol such as PPP, Frame Relay/DLCIs, HDLC,
etc.
o IP address of the Softswitch

Instructions
Step 1 � Connecting the Cables
Figure 1: 4610W Front Panel
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to local LAN port 24 of the 4610W device. This
port can be seen in the area “C” of the above diagram. Connect the other end of the
cable to your computer’s Ethernet port.
2. If T1 is used for the WAN connectivity then perform the following steps, otherwise go to
step 5.
3. Based on the number of functional ports, connect on end of the T1 cable(s) to the T1
port(s) and the other end of the cable(s) to the T1 demarcation unit provided by the
Service Provider. The T1 port(s) are located in area “E” of Figure 1.
To reduce the risk of fire, connect the T1 port to the T1 network using only 26
AWG or larger wire such as 24, 22, 20, etc.
4. Skip to step 6.
5. Connect an Ethernet cable between the Ethernet WAN port of the 4610W device, shown
in the above diagram as “D,” and the Ethernet port on a router or a modem.
6. Connect the PSTN lines to ports denoted by “F” or “G” in the above diagram.
7. Connect the regular phones or key system to ports denoted by “G” in the above diagram.

8. Plug one end of the power adapter into an AC outlet and the other end into the power
receptacle of the 4610W device (shown below as “B” in Figure 2). Make sure that the
power and status LEDs (shown above as Figure 1 as “A” and “B”) are solid green after a
short while.

Step 2 � Configuring the EdgeMarc
1. The EdgeMarc device comes preconfigured with 192.168.1.1 local LAN address with a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. So configure your computers Ethernet adapter’s IP
address to any address other than 192.168.1.1 in the same subnet mask, for example
192.168.1.10.
If using a LAN switch then the switch must support 100Mbps full duplex.
2. Launch a web browser on the PC and enter the following URL: http://192.168.1.1 and hit
enter
3. The following login window should appear:
4. Enter “root” in the “User name” field and “default” in the “Password” field.
5. The “System” page should appear next.
6. From the “Configuration Menu” on the left configure the following:
•
“Network” – To configure WAN and LAN ports
•
Optionally configure “DHCP Server” to suit your needs.

Step 3 � Plan Your Configuration
The EdgeMarc 4610W Network Services Gateway can be deployed as a gateway router in a
network. It can also be deployed in a network behind an existing firewall. Based on your
deployment criteria, consult the VoIP Operating System (VOS) for EdgeMarc User Manual for
further configuration:
Helpful Hints
Although not recommended, the 4610W device and IP phones can be installed behind an existing
enterprise firewall. In this instance the firewall will have to be configured to allow access to and
from the 4610W device’s public IP address for the following ports:
Port Type
Firewall Ports to Open
UDP
161 (SNMP) and 162 (SNMPTRAP)
UDP
16386 - 17286
TCP
SSH TCP 22 for remote management & TCP 80 for WAN
configuration-downloads
Telnet
23
FTP
TCP 21 for stateful TCP-session control from the 4610W to
Edgewater FTP server
MGCP
2427, 2429, 2432, and 2727
NTP ¬
123
SIP
5060 and 5075
IP phones normally point to a local NTP server for their time reference. The NTP port 123
needs to be opened if your network does not have an NTP server.
Please Note: Traffic shaping for this configuration is only available if the enterprise data
devices are also installed behind the 4610W device.
