IP Office server ignition

Last Updated : Jun 25, 2024 |

About this task

After installing the IP Office software, you must complete the server ignition process.

Procedure

  1. Check the network on the host PC:

    • Virtual Ethernet adaptors enabled.

    • Local Area Connection enabled and physically plugged into the PoE switch that comes with kit.

    • Wireless disabled. Do this to minimize issues during installation. You can re-enable Wi-Fi if necessary post-configuration.

  2. Open a browser and enter the address https://192.168.42.230:7070.
  3. If the browser displays a security warning, ignore the warning. This is because you have not yet obtained the IP Office server's certificate.
  4. Log in with root and the password you entered during the server installation process.
  5. On the Accept License menu, select I Agree and click Next.
  6. On the Server Type menu, select Primary (Server Edition), and click Next.
  7. On the New Hardware menu, click Next.
  8. On the Configure Network menu match the following:

    • IP Address = 192.168.42.230

    • Netmask = 255.255.255.0

    • Gateway = Blank

    • Primary DNS/Secondary DNS = Blank

    • Hostname = ipodemo

  9. Click Next.
  10. On the Time & Companding menu:
    1. Select Use NTP Client and set the Timezone.
    2. In the Companding section, select µ-law.
    3. Click Next.
  11. On the Change Password enter a new root, administrator and system passwords. The system password must be different from the other two passwords. Click Next.
  12. On the Security menu:
    1. In the CA Certificate section, select Generate New.
    2. In the EASG Settings section, select Disabled.
    3. Click Next.
  13. Click OK to close the warnings about EASG access and about downloading the certificate.
  14. Click on the link to download the DER-encoded certificate.
  15. Click Apply to complete the ignition process.
  16. The server restarts with the new settings.
  17. Whilst the server is restarting, import the certificate into your web browser to prevent further security certificate warnings from your browser.
    1. Locate the certificate file you downloaded. The file name is root-ca.crt.
    2. Right-click on the file and select Install Certificate.
    3. Click Next, Next and then Finish.
