16. To set the Default Gateway IP, type change 1 g followed by the IP address for the default gateway IP.

want to reset the unit. Type yes to reset the unit. The reboot enables the Tenor to incorporate the new settings.

19. Once the IP information is set, you are ready to configure the unit. See the Tenor DX User’s Guide (included on your CD

ROM) for details.

STEP 5: Connect the Unit

NOTE: If a T1/E1 card is installed in a port, and the the card is set to offline (via Command Line Interface), the LED
on each side of the port will flash yellow.

The following steps are required to fully connect the Tenor DX.

• Connect to Trunk Interface (PSTN)
• Connect to Line Interface (PBX)
• Connect to Ethernet Hub/Switch

Adjacent port pairs (i.e., 1/2, 3/4, etc.) are configured by default to connect to each other (power off bypass) when the
unit is turned off, or when the unit is in Offline mode. This is the preferred method when connecting one of the lines
to a PBX, and its adjacent pair to the PSTN. However, if you have adjacent port pairs that are connected to similar
devices (i.e., both going to PSTN) in which you do not want the two ports to be connected to each other in case of
power off or offline, you should set the power off bypass = 0. Each pair of ports (1/2, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8) have their own
online/offline and power off bypass control. See the Configuration Manager online help or the Command Line Inter-
face (CLI)
guide for specific configuration information.
