Step 1 To display the Find and List Gateways window, choose Device > Gateway or skip to Step 4 if you have
already located the MGCP gateway to which you want to add FXS ports.
Step 2 Enter the appropriate search criteria to locate the MGCP gateway to which you want to add FXS ports.
Step 3 Click the name of the desired gateway to display its MGCP configuration settings and endpoint
identifiers.
Step 4 From the Gateway Configuration window, click the endpoint identifier for the FXS VIC that you want
to configure.
The window refreshes and displays the Gateway Configuration window.

Note See the “Configuring a Directory Number” section on page 64-25 and “Directory Number
Configuration Settings” section on page 64-1 for information about adding and configuring
DNs.
Step 8 To return to the main MGCP gateway configuration window for the gateway to which you just added the
ports, choose Back to MGCP Configuration in the Related Links drop-down list box and click Go.

Adding FXO Ports to an MGCP Gateway
You can use Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) ports for connecting to a central office or PBX. Use this
procedure to add and configure FXO ports for loop start or ground start on an MGCP gateway.
Note Cisco Unified Communications Manager assumes all loop-start trunks lack positive disconnect
supervision. Configure trunks with positive disconnect supervision as ground start, so active calls can be
maintained during a Cisco Unified Communications Manager server failover.
