You can place the active call on hold (press the “Flash,” “Flash Hook,” or “Hold” button on the phone) and switch to the incoming call. (Default: Disabled) Call Waiting Timeout – The time a second incoming call waits before a “no answer” message is sent.
7 VoIP Settings Codecs A codec (coder/decoder) is the way a voice analog signal is converted into a digital bitstream to send over the network, and how it is converted back into an analog signal at the receiving end. Codecs differ in the type of data compression that is used to save network bandwidth and in the time delay caused in the signal. This results in different voice quality experienced by the user.
7 Call Block Setting produce a low-bandwidth data stream of 8 Kbps. Note that DTMF and fax tones do not transport reliably with this codec, it is better to use G.711 for these signals. • G726-16/24/32/40: The ITU-T G.726 standard codecs that use Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM) to produce good-quality, low-bandwidth data streams of either 16, 24, 32, or 40 Kbps. Priority Codec List – The RG230 automatically negotiates the codec to use for each called party.
7 VoIP Settings Phone Setting The RG230 allows the timings for certain events on the VoIP phone ports to be precisely configured. For example, you can specify how long a phone will ring and how long a dial tone is heard on a phone. The RG230 also enables the line delay to be specified for each phone so that the caller’s voice echo is cancelled. Figure 7-7 Phone Setting Answer Timeout – The time after which a no answer message is sent to the caller.
Chapter 8: Wi-Fi Settings The RG230 model for the 3.5 GHz WiMAX band includes an IEEE 802.11g radio interface for local Wi-Fi communications.

(Range: 256-2346 bytes; Default: 2346 bytes) RTS Threshold (256~2432) – Sets the packet size threshold at which a Request to Send (RTS) signal must be sent to a receiving station prior to the sending the data frame. The unit sends RTS frames to a receiving station to negotiate the sending of a data frame.
8 Wireless Security • CTS Only: The transmitting client sends only a CTS frame to prevent others from accessing the medium. This mechanism is effective for most neworks with mixed 802.11g and 802.11b clients. • RTS/CTS: Both RTS and CTS frames must be exchanged before a client can send data. There may be 802.11b clients in some networks that do not detect the CTS frames from other stations.
8 Wi-Fi Settings There are eight security options available. When you select the security type in the table, the required settings are displayed. The option “Open System” together with encryption disabled is equivalent to no security, all clients will be able to immediately connect to the Wi-Fi network. The following sections describe the security options available for the RG230 Wi-Fi network.
Wireless Security 8 WPA/WPA2 Security The WPA and WPA2 modes use IEEE 802.1X as their basic framework for user authentication and dynamic key management. IEEE 802.1X access security uses Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) and requires a configured Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) authentication server to be accessible in the enterprise network. If you select WPA or WPA2 mode, be sure to configure the RADIUS settings displayed on the page.
8 Wi-Fi Settings Note: This guide assumes that you have already configured a RADIUS server in the attached wired network to support the unit. Configuration of RADIUS server software is beyond the scope of this guide, refer to documentation provided with the RADIUS server software. WPA/WPA2 PSK Security The WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-WPA2-Mixed-PSK modes use a common password phrase, called a Pre-Shared Key (PSK), that must be manually distributed to all clients that want to connect to the network.
8 MAC Authentication MAC Authentication Wireless clients can be authenticated for network access by checking their MAC address against a local database configured on the RG230. You can configure a list of up to 32 wireless client MAC addresses in the filter list to either allow or deny network access. Figure 8-6. MAC Authentication System Default – Specifies the action for MAC addresses listed in the local MAC Authentication Table.

Appendix A: Troubleshooting Diagnosing LED Indicators Table A-1 Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Action Power LED is Off • AC power adapter may be disconnected. Check connections between the unit, the AC power adapter, and the wall outlet. Power LED is Red • The unit has detected a system error. Reboot the unit to try and clear the condition. • If the condition does not clear, contact your local dealer for assistance.
A Troubleshooting Cannot Access Web Management If the management interface cannot be accessed using a web browser: • Be sure the management station is correctly configured for TCP/IP. The IP settings should be set to “obtain an IP address automatically.” • Try a Ping command from the management station to the unit’s IP address to verify that the entire network path between the two devices is functioning correctly.

Appendix C: Cables and Pinouts Twisted-Pair Cable Assignments For 10/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must have two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For example, one wire might be green and the other, green with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable. Caution: Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a specific orientation.

RJ-11 Ports C RJ-11 Ports Standard telephone RJ-11 connectors and cabling can be found in several common wiring patterns. These six-pin connectors can accommodate up to three wire pairs (three telephone lines), but usually only one or two pairs of conductor pins and wires are implemented. The RJ-11 ports on this device contain only one wire pair on the inner pins (3 and 4). Red or Blue/White Green or White/Blue R T 123456 R = Ring T = Tip Figure C-4 RJ-11 Port Pinout Table C-2.
