Print

ZTN1772

ID: 1772

This Zetafax technical note applies to:

  • Zetafax 2009 onwards
  • Zetafax FoIP Connector

Summary

This tech note will describe the steps required to configure a Quintum Tenor AF gateway to work with Zetafax and the SR140 Fax over IP connector.

More information

Ensure you have connected the power supply, Analogue line(s) and LAN via an Ethernet connection.

In order to configure the gateway, you must download and install the Tenor Configuration Manager. You can find the latest version from the following link –

  http://www.quintum.com/support/mgmt/index.shtml.

Upgrade your Firmware

You will need to make sure you are running the latest firmware on the Tenor unit to operate in some countries outside of the UK.

Note: Please upgrade your unit to P108-09-02 Maintenance Software or later for operation in Sweden.

Quintum Tenor Configuration Wizard

The default username and password for the Tenor AF is admin.

By default, the gateway is set to be assigned an IP address via DHCP.  If DHCP is not enabled on your network, then you cannot access the unit via the LAN until the IP address has been configured.  You must use a serial connection to do this.  Refer to the quick start guide for instructions on how to do this -  http://www.quintum.com/support/quickstart/TenorBXQuickStart.pdf.

  1. Switch on the gateway.
  2. Run Tenor Configuration Manager from a PC.  The following screen will appear.

  3. Click on the ‘Discover’ button.  This will search your network for any Quintum gateway devices.  Assuming DHCP has assigned an IP, the gateway should appear shortly. 
  4. When it has been found, click on ‘Connect’.
  5. After connecting, the configuration wizard will run automatically. Specify the following settings:

IP Address Configuration:

Specify a static IP
Obtain DNS automatically or manual

Dial Plan Configuration:

Dial Plan Country: UK (or please select your country)
Area Code: Enter your local area code

Line Port Configuration:
Disconnect Detection; Loop Start, Forward Disconnect

Called ID Detection; FSK or DTMF

Tone Based Answer Detection: Disabled.

Are all inbound VoIP calls generated from an IP PBX or from IP phones: Yes

Do you want to Enable Hop off Calls: Yes

VoIP Routing Configuration:

  Outgoing Routing IP Protocol: SIP

You will then need to specify the settings for your server.

Here is an example when using SIP:
