Configuring a Dinstar PRI Gateway involves setting up the device to seamlessly connect PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) lines with VoIP (Voice over IP) systems. Follow these steps for a successful configuration:

1. Connect the Hardware

• Ensure the Digital VoIP Gateway is connected to the power supply.
• Attach the PRI (Primary Rate Interface) line to the PRI port.
• Connect the LAN port to your local network for web access.

2. Access the Web Interface

• Find the gateway’s default IP address (check the manual or use a network scanner).
• Open a web browser and enter the IP address.
• Log in using the default credentials (usually admin/admin).

3. Network Configuration

• Navigate to System Settings > Network.
• Set the IP address (Static or DHCP) to match your local network.
• Save and reboot if required.

4. Configure PRI Settings

• Go to Digital Trunk settings.
• Set the Signaling Type (usually PRI-NI2 for most providers).
• Configure the E1/T1 settings (such as clock source and framing mode).

5. SIP Trunk Configuration

• Add a new SIP Trunk under VOIP > SIP Trunk.
• Enter the SIP server IP, port, and authentication details.
• Enable the trunk and save the configuration.

6. Routing Configuration

• Set Inbound and Outbound call rules.
• Define call direction (e.g., from PRI to SIP or vice versa).

7. Test and Validate

• Make test calls to ensure successful call routing.
• Monitor logs for troubleshooting if needed.

This process ensures your Dinstar Digital VoIP Gateway is properly configured to handle both PSTN and VoIP communications effectively.
