The operating system for the Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway is the Cisco IOS software that resides in flash memory.
You can use an ASCII terminal or a PC to configure a Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway. The configuration can be performed in several ways:
If your Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway was ordered with the Simple Network-Enabled Auto-Provision (SNAP) option, no onsite configuration is required. When the Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway is powered on and connected, the SNAP application downloads the applicable configuration files automatically.
When a Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway is first installed, use the procedure in the “Power-On Procedure” section for the initial configuration. This sets the basic communication parameters.
After the Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway is operating and able to communicate, use the procedures in Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway Software Configuration Guide to configure the specific services and functions or to make changes to the existing configuration.
There are multiple methods for configuring a Cisco VG350 Voice Gateway:
