Procedure

  1. Using IP Office Web Manager, connect directly to the new IP500 V2 system.
  2. Login using the default user name Administrator and password Administrator.
  3. You are prompted to change the default passwords.

    Password

    Description

    Administrator Password

    This password is used for access to the system's telephony and security configuration.

    Security Administrator Password

    This password is used for system upgrades and can also be used for connections using SysMonitor.

  4. The server's initial configuration menu is now shown. Ensure that you select the correct System Mode. Either:
    • For a subscription system: Server Edition Expansion - Subscription.

    • For other systems: Server Edition Expansion.

  5. Set a unique System Name for the system. This will appear in other administration menus and helps identify the particular server.
  6. If applicable, enter the Services Device ID issued for support of the server.
  7. Set the Locale to match the customer location. Set this accurately as it affects a number of default telephony settings that the system will then use.

  9. Using the Public LAN Interface control:
    1. Select LAN1 and check that the IP Address and IP Mask match the network settings that the server should use for its eth0 port.
    2. Select which DHCP Mode the server should support on the LAN.

      Option

      Description

      Server

      The server will act as a DHCP server for the network on that interface. For its own address it will use the IP Address details entered in this menu.

  15. Check the settings are all as required and match the customer network requirements.
