2.3. Quick Installation Wizard
By following the Wizard, you will create a very basic configuration file allowing you to make
and receive calls thus confirming your NANO2 is fully functional. Most of the features won’t
be visible until you complete the wizard and access the full fledge user interface.
After the completion of Quick setup wizard, NANO2 will reboot and launch the basic
configuration file you’ve created. You are ready to test! You will also have access to the full
fledge user interface and all the features offered.
Once the reboot is done, Connect the WAN port of the Nano2 to your network switch ,also
you can remove the LAN connection and use the WAN IP to access the Full Fledge User
Interface of the NANO2. The WAN IP address can be obtained by dialing **# from the
Analog phone which is connected to the Nano2PBX
