1.5 PBX Activation
What you need
To activate and configure  you need the  , a2N NetStar
®2N NetStar ®system
computerrunningthesupportedWindowsversion,akeyboardandamouse.ThePC
and  PBX have to be interconnected in a LAN. Furthermore, it is2N NetStar
®
necessarytodisplaytheredirectedstandardPBXinputandoutputonyourPCconsole.
Todothis,youneedasix–wire,crossedcablewithasix-pinRJ-12connectoronone
endandaserialconnectorontheother.Thiscableissuppliedasstandardequipment.
Youcanusea'TeraTermPro'consoleoranyotherfunctionalconsole.Youcanalso
workintheHyperTerminalmode,butlongerlinesareinterlaced.
Step 1: IP address setting
Prior to starting configuration you need to set up the PBX IP address to establish
networkcommunicationbetweenthesystemandthecomputer.Todothis,youcanuse
aserialconsoleorthe default IP address192.168.100.100.The –PC2N NetStar
®
communicationcanbeon-lineoroff-line.Toconfiguretheconsoleusethetablebelow.
Speed 115200
Bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow control None
If necessary, a serial port or modem may be used for PBX connection through the
configurationtool,yetataconsiderablylowerbitrate.

18
Step 2: Hardware activation
After the first connection to the selected PBX according to the Connection to PBX
chapter,aconfigurationwizard isdisplayedasshowninfigurebelow.Thiswizardis
displayed only if the PBX has a new empty database (has not been preconfigured
accordingtoyourdemands).

19
Figure: ViewofHardwareConfigurationWizardDialogue
Ifthewizardisdisplayed,youcandefinethebasicconfigurationsettingsofthevirtual
BRIports.Ifyouarenotsure,youcanpushthe buttontoproceedtothenextNext
configurationstepbecausethesesettingsmaybechangedanytimelater.Onceyoudo
that,theconfigurationtool(togetherwiththePBX)startstodetectthehardwareas
showninfigurebelow.

20
Figure: ViewofWizard'sHardwareDetectionOperations
Theboardsaredetectedbothinthebasicunitandextenders.Oncesomehardwareis
detected,activationtakesplace,whichmeansthatvirtualportsareassignedtoallthe
boardsdetected(exceptforVoIPboards).Theterminalsconnectedaredetectedinthe
laststageofthewizardhardwareconfiguration.ThisshouldmakethePBXreadyfor
furtherconfiguration,whichissignalledbygreenboardLEDs.TheGSMboardisthe
onlyboardwithoutLEDindicatorsandsoitsreadystatusissignalledbytheportLEDs.
ThecurrentfirmwareversionisloadedintothePBXafterthefirststart–uporevery
firmwareupgradeandmaycauseashortdelayintheGSMboardactivation.
Step 3: Localisation setting
Localisationsettingisanotherimportantstepofthe configuration.Inthis2N NetStar
®
stepyoucandefinetheparametersshowninfigurebelowanddescribedindetailinthe
 chapter. In addition, you can add a language package of your own6.3 Localisation
includingtextsandprogresstones.Twolanguagepackages–CzechandEnglish–are
availableinthePBXbydefault.
