“Chapter 3, “Configuring with the Command-Line Interface,” for step-by-step instructions. Cisco VG202 and VG204 voice gateways ship with default configuration. During the first boot up, the Note Cisco VG202 and VG204 voice gateways will not enter setup mode and will be configured through auto-configuration.
Do not press any keys on the keyboard until the messages stop. Any keys pressed during this time are interpreted as the first command typed when the messages stop, which might cause the Cisco VG to power off and start over. It takes a few minutes for the messages to stop.

MAC address will be C863.9583.3XXX. In the preceding example, the last 9 digits of the SCCP of the local VG202 or VG204 voice gateway become the first 9 digits of the voice port MAC address after dropping the leading 000.
• Call Transfer The VG202 or VG204 voice gateways blind-call transfer functionality allows the transfer of a call from the party you call to a destination caller without and call commit from the original person called. For example, party A (transferee) calls party B (transferor). The transferor wants to transfer the call to party C (transfer-target) and uses hookflash (softkey transfer) to get a dial tone, and then dials party C’s...
