Installation
Follow the steps and guidelines in this section to physically set up and position the VT2400/VT2500 voice gateway
on a flat surface or mount it on the wall.
Positioning Your Router for Optimal Wireless Performance (VT2500 only)
Your voice gateway has an embedded wireless router that uses a radio transmission technology defined by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) called 802.11 Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi). This standard is
subdivided into distinct categories of speed and the frequency spectrum used, designated by the lowercase letter
after the standard.
For example, the router supports both the ‘b’ and ‘g’ specifications. The 802.11b specification transmits data rates
up to 11 Mbps while the 802.11g specification transmits data rates up to 54 Mbps. These are theoretical standards
so performance may vary. The radio waves radiate in a donut-shaped pattern. The waves travel through walls and
floors, but transmission power and distance are affected. The theoretical distance limit is 1,000 feet (305 meters),
but actual throughput and distance varies.
Both standards operate in the 2.4 GHz range, meaning other electrical appliances also might interfere with the
router – televisions, radios, microwave ovens, or 2.4 GHz cordless telephones. Therefore, positioning the voice
gateway where it encounters the least interference helps maintain a better connection.
The following table lists the expected wireless range of the router. This table is only a guide and coverage varies
due to local conditions.
Data Rate
Open Area
Closed Area
54 Mbps
Up to 100 ft (30m)
Up to 60 ft (18 m)
11 Mbps
Up to 900 feet (275 m)
Up to 160 feet (49 m)
5.5 Mbps
Up to 1300 feet (396 m)
Up to 200 feet (61 m)
2 or 1 Mbps
Up to 1500 feet (457 m)
Up to 300 feet (91 m)
To achieve the best wireless performance, review these guidelines before deciding where to place the voice
gateway:
•
Placing the voice gateway in the center of your network is the best location because the antenna sends out
the signal in all directions.
•
Placing the voice gateway in a higher location, such as on top of a cabinet, helps disperse the signal cleanly,
especially to receiving locations on upper stories.
•
If possible, position the voice gateway so there is direct line of sight between the unit and your other home
network devices.
•
Avoid placing the voice gateway next to large solid objects like computer cases, monitors, walls, fireplaces,
etc. This helps the signal penetrate more cleanly.
•
Other wireless devices such as televisions, radios, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless telephones can
interfere with the signal. Keep these devices away from the voice gateway.
•
Mirrors, especially silver-coated, can reduce transmission performance.

•
Enabling wireless security (if setting up a LAN with one or more wireless devices
Setting the Firewall Policy and Enabling the Firewall
The VT2400/VT2500 firewall protects your LAN from attacks and other intrusions from the Internet. This section
describes using the Policy > POLICY — config page to choose one of the predefined firewall policies provided
with the voice gateway.
Caution!
Firewalls are not foolproof. Choose the most secure firewall policy possible. To enable easy network
setup, the default firewall policy is None, which provides no security.
The predefined policies provide outbound Internet access for computers on the VT2400/VT2500 LAN. The voice
gateway firewall uses stateful inspection to allow inbound responses when there already is an outbound session
running corresponding to the data flow. For example, if you use a Web browser, outbound HTTP connections are
permitted on port 80. Inbound responses from the Internet are allowed because an outbound session is
established.
To set up a custom firewall, see Firewall > FIREWALL — basic in Advanced Configuration.

Configuring the Firewall for Gaming
By default, the VT2500 firewall is disabled. If you enable the firewall, as recommended, refer to the game’s
documentation to ensure that the necessary ports are open for use by that game.
The predefined VT2400/VT2500 firewall policies affect Xbox LiveTM as follows:
Low
Xbox Live data can pass through the firewall. No user action is required.
Medium or high
To enable Xbox Live traffic to pass, you must configure:
• Choose Firewall > FIREWALL — advanced to create your own custom firewall
• Enter UDP 88:88 and UDP/TCP 3074:3074 on the ...........?
Configuring Port Triggers
Because the voice gateway has predefined port triggers for games using any of the following applications, no user
action is required to enable them:
•
DirectX 7 and DirectX 8
•
MSN Games by Zone.com
•
Battle.net
For a list of games supported by Battle.net, visit http://www.battle.net.
You may need to create custom port triggers to enable other games to operate properly. If you set custom port
triggers and enable the firewall, you must customize the firewall to allow traffic through those ports. To create
custom port triggers, use the Gateway > PORT TRIGGERS - custom page.

Configuring a Gaming DMZ Host
Caution!
The gaming DMZ host is not protected by the firewall. It is open to communication or hacking from any
computer on the Internet. Consider carefully before configuring a device to be in the DMZ.
Some games and game devices require one of these:
•
The use of random ports
•
The forwarding of unsolicited traffic
For example, to connect a PlayStation® 2 for PS2® online gaming, designate it as the gaming DMZ host because
the ports required vary from game to game. For these games, we recommend configuring the gaming computer or
device as a gaming DMZ device.
To configure a gaming DMZ device, on the Gateway > LAN – static leases page:
Reserve a private IP address for the computer or game device MAC address.
Designate the device as a DMZ device.
You can reserve IP addresses for multiple devices, but only one device can be designated as the gaming DMZ at
a time.

ADDRESS
You can reserve up to 64 IP addresses assigned by the VT2400/VT2500 DHCP server for
specific LAN clients. For example, to ensure that they always receive the same private IP
address, you can reserve IP addresses for a private FTP server or gaming DMZ device.
You may reserve up to 16 IP addresses for CPEs on your LAN that are assigned by the
voice gateway’s DHCP server. You may want to reserve an IP address on your LAN for a
particular server (such as a private FTP server) to ensure the designated server always
receives the same private IP address.
MAC Address
Type the MAC address of the DHCP client for which a reserved IP address is required.
The format is 16 hexadecimal numerals.
NOTE: If the MAC Address you entered already has an IP Address assigned and is listed
in the CURRENT DHCP LEASES table as Dynamic on the Gateway > LAN — dhcp

Address.
IP Address

Add a DMZ Host:
Enable DMZ
The gaming DMZ host is a computer with a reserved IP address designated as the default
DMZ host. Only one gaming DMZ host can be active at once.
The gaming DMZ host is not protected by the firewall. It is open to communication or
hacking from any computer on the Internet. Consider carefully before configuring a
computer to be in the DMZ.
The benefit of using a gaming DMZ host instead of a NAT passthrough host is that a
gaming DMZ host does not require a public IP address as does a NAT passthrough host.
If the application requires a public IP address, configure the computer for NAT
passthrough on the Gateway > LAN — nat config page.
IP Address
Sets the host portion of the reserved IP address for the LAN client having the specified
MAC address. When the LAN client requests an IP address, the VT2500 voice gateway

(Port Address
Translation)
Select this box to enable the port forwarding entries to be accessed through network

Notes:
The most common form of address translation between public and private IP addresses is
NAT. This represents a mapping of one public IP address to many private IP addresses.
Using NAT, you can support up to 253 clients on your private LAN.
If NAT is disabled, then the voice terminal DHCP server is also disabled. In this case, none
of the client devices on your private internal LAN will be assigned an IP address from the
voice terminal DHCP server. Instead, your clients are treated as passthrough devices, and
if they are configured to use DHCP, they will attempt to obtain a public IP address from
your ISP.

Gateway > PORT TRIGGERS - predefined
When you run a PC application that accesses the Internet, it communicates with a computer on the Internet. In
some applications, especially gaming, the computer on the Internet also communicates with your PC. Because
NAT does not normally allow these incoming connections, the VT2400/VT2500 supports port triggering.
The VT2400/VT2500 is preconfigured with port triggering for common applications. You can also configure
additional port triggers if needed. Configuring port triggers for an application requires:
•
The application transport protocol — TCP or UDP
•
The application port number
You can use the default values for the remaining parameters.
Only one computer at a time connected to the VT2400/VT2500 can use an application that requires port
triggering. Use this page to view predefined port triggers.
