Overview of Cisco VG450 Voice Gateway Features and Benefits of Cisco VG450 Voice Gateway service modules can be inserted into the SM-X slot on the supported Cisco 4000 Series ISRs without powering off the router. • FXS-E (extended loops) support—FXS ports on the new modules support FXS-E with the following details: •...
Feature Access Codes (FACs) for invoking supplementary services. Fax and Modem Connectivity FXS ports on Cisco 450 Voice Gateway support fax machines and modems. When using fax machines, the gateways support T.38 fax relay and fax pass-through. T.38 fax relay technologies allow transfer of faxes across the network with high reliability using less bandwidth than a voice call.
The FXS port is used to connect analog phones, modems, fax machines, and speaker phones to an enterprise IP voice system, and to use them as extensions to your Cisco or third-party IP call-control system. Having these devices tightly integrated with the IP-based phone system is advantageous for increased manageability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.

Overview of Cisco VG450 Voice Gateway Configuration Methods Configuration Methods After Cisco 450 Voice Gateway is operational, use the procedures in Cisco Voice 450 Gateway Software Configuration Guide to configure the specific services and functions or to make changes to an existing configuration.
Enclosed racks must have adequate ventilation. An enclosed rack should never be overcrowded and should have louvers and a fan. If the Cisco VG450 Voice Gateway is installed in an enclosed rack with a ventilation fan at the top, make sure that heated air drawn upward from other equipment does not prevent adequate cooling.
(due to prevalence of UPS for personal computers). Thus, a separate UPS for Cisco VG450 Voice Gateway is a viable option when the ISR/UPS is not co-located with it. If you suspect that your AC power is not clean—if lights flicker often or there is machinery with large motors nearby—have a qualified person test the power.
