First Setup
Warning: Incomplete or incorrect configuration can be hazardous to people, if for
example emergency calls cannot be performed.
• The configuration of the product is made via an integrated web server whose pages
are called via web browser. The user interface of the web server (web interface) is
available in English, French and German. If you are not familiar with these
languages and the technical terms, please consult a specialist who is linguistically
and professionally qualified.
Information about the Network Connection
Configuring the PBX using a PC is done using the web interface integrated in the PBX. This
can be accessed via the IP address of the PBX. The IP address to be used depends on your
connection and network environment.
•
If the PBX is not connected to a router but is connected directly to a single PC which
receives its IP address automatically (default setting on Windows and Mac OS X), you
can access the PBX via the permanent IP address 169.254.1.240 from the APIPA
address range.
•
If the PBX is connected to a router that works as a DHCP server and allocates IP
addresses to the devices connected (default setting on most routers), you can access
the PBX via two IP addresses:
1. Via the permanent IP address 169.254.1.240 from the APIPA address range.
2. Via the IP address allocated by the DHCP server.
Note: If the permanent IP address from the APIPA address range is not working, you
will first have to learn the IP address allocated by the DHCP server.
Important: If you wish to operate the PBX in a network where IP addresses are
allocated permanently, you must first adapt the IP configuration of the PBX for
operation in the network. For this purpose, you must first create one of the connection
and network environments described above. It is not possible to change the network
configuration by telephone without prior activation of the system.
Opening the Web Interface
Requirements:
•
PC with a recommended screen resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixel
•
Recommended Browser: Mozilla Firefox (current version), Google Chrome (current
version)
1.
Enter the IP address of the PBX in the address field of the browser. Example for entering
the permanent IP address: https://169.254.1.240.
Since the PBX forces an HTTPS connection, your browser will provide a safety warning
(because of the missing safety certificate).
