Last Updated : Mar 01, 2024 |

This process uses IP Office Web Manager to perform the initial configuration of the primary server.

Before you begin

Ignite the server as a primary server. See Igniting the server.

Procedure

On a PC on the same network as the server, start a web browser. Enter https://<Server_IP_Address>:7070.
Enter Administrator and the password set for that user during the server ignition process.
In the Agreement menu, select Accept and click OK.
If the server displays a background synchronization warning, click Yes.
The server displays the dashboard. If not, select Solution > Server Menu > Dashboard.
Click on the System widget.

In the System Mode, select one of the following:


System Mode	Description
Server Edition	Select this option for a primary server that will use a PLDS file for licensing.
Server Edition - Select	Select this option for a primary server that will use a PLDS file for licensing that includes Select licenses. Note that if in a network, all servers in the network requires a Select license.
Server Edition - Subscription	Select this option for a primary server that will use subscriptions for licensing.

Set a unique System Name for the system. This will appear in other administration menus and helps identify the particular server.
If applicable, enter the Services Device ID issued for support of the server.
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.
Set and confirm the Default Extension Password. This is used to set the extension password required to register IP extension unless a separate specific password is configured in the extension’s own settings.

For a Server Edition - Subscription system, a section for entry of the Subscription System Details is displayed. Enter the details supplied in the email provided after the primary server’s PLDS ID was registered for subscription:


Setting	Description
System ID	This field is not changeable. However, check that it matches the details shown in the system’s subscription email.
Customer ID	Enter the customer ID provided in the system’s subscription email.
License Server Address	Enter the address provided in the system’s subscription email.

Using the Public LAN Interface control:

Select LAN1 and check that the IP Address and IP Mask match the network settings that the server should use for its eth0 port.

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.
Client	The server will obtain its IP address settings automatically from a DHCP server elsewhere on the network.
Dial In	This DHCP mode is not supported on Linux-based IP Office servers.
Disabled	The server will use the fixed IP address details entered in this menu.

Select LAN2 and check that the IP Address and IP Mask settings match the network settings that the server should use for its eth1 port.
Set the Gateway address for the customer network.

Having set and checked the IP address and DHCP details, select which port, LAN1 or LAN2, will be used for outgoing connections from the customer network for general internet access. This choice adds a default IP route from that LAN to the specified Gateway address.
Enter the IP address of the Server Edition Primary.
For Server Edition Secondary, enter the IP address of the planned secondary server. If there is no plan to add a secondary server, enter a dummy address.
If the customer network has a specific DNS Server, enter its address.
Enter an Web Socket Password password. This password is used for the links to other IP Office servers in the network.
Check the settings are all as required and match the customer network requirements.
Click Apply.
Work through the other widgets on the dashboard and configure the system as required, see The Setup Wizard/Initial Configuration.
Click Save to IP Office shown at the top of the browser window.
The Save IP Office Configuration menu is preset to save the new settings and restart the server. Select the server and click OK.
