1. Connection and Change IP Address of IPPBX
2.1 Connection
The default IP address of IPPBX is:
WAN: 192.168.1.100/255.255.255.0
LAN: 192.168.10.1/255.255.255.0
There are two network interfaces (WAM and LAN) in IP4G, it can be used as a router (WAN port connects
Internet and LAN port connects local network):
Internet

IPPBX IP4G User Manual
~ 6 ~ ATCOM TECHNOLOGY CO., LIMITED
NOTE: It’s recommended to re-set IP address of IPPBX via WAN at the first time, Since DHCP server on LAN
port is enabled by default, Other DHCP client enabled devices in the network may obtain IP from IPPBX rather
than real DHCP server. And then access IPPBX via LAN after configuring LAN settings.
1) Connect IPPBX to your PC directly or through switch.
Make sure IP address of your PC is in network 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0, if not, you need to appoint an IP
address for your PC, for example, 192.168.1.3
2) Login IPPBX as administrator via WEB GUI
User: admin
Password: atcom
NOTE: Language option will be accomplished in future versions, currently, only English is supported. So it’s not
selectable now.
3) Go to Network Settings ->WAN.
Re-set IP of WAN port.
4) Go to Network Settings -> LAN.
Re-set IP of LAN port.
2.2 WAN Settings
There are three ways to set an IP address to WAN port: DHCP, Static IP, PPPoE.
DHCP
IPPBX will obtain an IP address automatically from DHCP server when rebooting. It’s not recommended to
choose this option unless there is a reserved IP for IPPBX in DHCP server so that IPPBX can keep the same IP
all the time.

IPPBX IP4G User Manual
~ 7 ~ ATCOM TECHNOLOGY CO., LIMITED
Static IP
Set an IP address manually according to the real network environment. If IPPBX is behind a router, the gateway
is usually set to the IP of the router.
PPPoE
IPPBX will obtain an IP address automatically after establishing a connection to PPPoE server with username
and password.
2.3 LAN Settings
DHCP
Yes: IPPBX will get an IP address from DHCP server, Not recommended.
No: Configure IP address manually for LAN. Default is NO.
NAT
Yes: IPPBX will act as a router, all the devices connected to LAN can access the network connected to WAN.
Default is Yes.
No: Networks connected to LAN and WAN are independent.
NOTE: IP addresses of LAN and WAN can’t be in the same network.
For example: IP of WAN is 192.168.1.100/255.255.255.0, IP of LAN can’t be 192.168.1.xx/255.255.255.0

2) SIP Setting(Only for SIP extension)
NAT
Try this setting when IPPBX is on a public IP, communicating with devices hidden behind a NAT device
(broadband router). If you have one-way audio problems, you usually have problems with your NAT configuration
or your firewall’s support of SIP+RTP ports.
Can Reinvite
By default, IPPBX will route the media streams from SIP endpoints through itself. Enabling this option causes
IPPBX to attempt to negotiate the endpoints to route the media stream directly, bypassing IPPBX. It is not always
possible for IPPBX to negotiate endpoint-to-endpoint media routing.
DTMF Mode
Select DTMF sending mode, there are three modes: rfc2833, inband, info. The DTMF setting in here should be
as same as that in SIP phone, otherwise IPPBX will not detect the users’ input correctly during a call.
Auto means IPPBX will match anyone of them according to the setting of SIP phone.
Transport
The transplant protocol type for VoIP data package, default is UDP. Please make sure TCP is enabled in PBX
Settings -> SIP Settings before using TCP.
