Prolog information
Having installed the IP Office software onto the server or virtual server platform, you must complete the Server Edition Ignition process. For standard IP Office Demo systems, you must select the Primary Server type.
Following ignition, the standard IP Office service is replaced with the IP Office Demo service and configuration.
  1. Check the network on the host PC:
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    • 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 servers certificate.
  4. Log in with root and the password you entered during the server installation process.
  5. Accept the end user license agreement, and click Next.
  6. Select the Server Type as Primary (Server Edition), and click Next.
  7. There is no new hardware, click Next.
  8. The IP Address should already be 192.168.42.230 with a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask. If it is not, change it now.
  9. Leave the Gateway and DNS entries blank.
  10. Ensure that the Hostname is set as ipodemo. Click Next.
  11. Set the Timezone.
  12. In the Companding section, select µ-Law and click Next.
  13. Enter a new root, administrator and system password. The system password must be different from the other two passwords. Click Next.
  14. In the CA Certificate area, select Generate new.
  15. In the EASG Settings, select Disabled and click Next.
  16. Click OK to close the warnings about EASG access and about downloading the certificate.
  17. Click on the link to download the DER-encoded certificate.
  18. Click Apply to complete the ignition process.
  19. The server is restarted with its new settings. This can take several minutes, after which your browser is automatically redirected to the server’s web control login page.
  20. 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.
