Adding an FXO gateway (auto-discovered)

The FortiVoice phone system can auto-discover an FXO gateway when they are on the same LAN. With an auto-discovered device, you can create a new configuration for that gateway or replace an existing gateway configuration.

Procedure steps

1. Connect to the GUI of the FortiVoice phone system.
2. Go to Managed System > Gateway.
3. In the FXO Gateway tab, click Actions > Unmanaged Gateway.

The dialog opens and displays all the gateways discovered on the LAN of the FortiVoice phone system.

4. Select the FXO gateway that you want to add.
5. In the Action drop-down list, select one of the following actions:
   • Create New Device to add the gateway as a new entry into the FortiVoice phone system. Go to step 6.
   • Replace Existing Device to choose which gateway to replace. You can use this option in a situation where, for example, you want to replace a defective gateway. Go to step 9.
6. If you selected Create New Device, then configure the following settings:

   GUI field	Description
   Enabled	Select to activate the configuration of the FXO gateway.
   Name	Enter a unique name to identify the FXO gateway.
   Display name	Not required. You can leave this field empty.
   Hostname/IP address	The hostname or IP address of the auto-discovered FXO gateway. For an auto-discovered FXO gateway, the FortiVoice phone system autopopulates this field. Get Device Information: Before you click this button, make sure to enter the required information in the Admin user name and Admin password fields below. Click this button to poll the FXO gateway and get the MAC address of the gateway. This action can confirm that the systems can communicate and that the password is valid. Connect Device: This procedure does not use this button. With this button, you would access the FortiVoice Gateway GUI in a separate tab in your web browser.
   Admin user name	Enter the user name of the administrator account used for logging in to the FXO gateway. The default is admin.
   Admin password	Enter the password associated with the Admin user name. To show the password, click the eye icon . The default is no password.
   Serial number	The serial number of the gateway that you are adding to the FortiVoice phone system. For an auto-discovered FXO gateway, the FortiVoice phone system autopopulates this field.
   Type	The type of gateway that you are adding to the FortiVoice phone system.
   MAC address	The MAC address of the gateway that you are adding to the FortiVoice phone system.
   Survivability branch	The FortiVoice LSG solution can support a FortiVoice FXO gateway at a branch office. To link this FXO gateway with a survivability branch, select that branch from the list. For details about deploying a FortiVoice LSG unit, see the FortiVoice Local Survivable Gateway Deployment Guide.
   Physical location	Select Internal if the FXO gateway and FortiVoice phone system are on the same LAN. The FXO gateway connects to the internal IP address of the FortiVoice phone system. Select External if the FXO gateway connects to the FortiVoice phone system with an external IP.
   Description	Optionally, add any applicable notes for this gateway.

7. Click Finish.

   The FortiVoice phone system creates a trunk profile. By default, all eight ports are mapped to a single trunk.

8. You have completed this procedure. You can now go to Applying the FXO gateway configuration.
9. If you selected Replace Existing Device, then follow the system prompts to choose which gateway configuration you want to replace and then replace it.
10. When the replacement of the existing device is complete, go to Applying the FXO gateway configuration.
