SL1100 Installation Instructions

1-888-632-3794 • [e-mail] 1
Connecting to an SL1100 that is NOT on a Network
and DOES NOT Have a VoIP Card:
Requirements:
Two (2) Ethernet Cables. (We’ve include one Free Ethernet Cable with this purchase)
Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7
PC PRO System Administrator Software (Available in the Downloads Section on necsl1100distributors.com)
One router (We recommend the EnGenius ESR300 Router)
Part 1: Assigning an IP Address
1. Connect the first Ethernet Cable from your computer (must be a PC, not a MAC) to a LAN port on your
Router (NOT the WAN Port).
2. Connect the second Ethernet Cable from the Ethernet Port on the CPU Card of the SL1100 to another
LAN port on the router. (See the diagram of the SL1100’s Ethernet Port below)

SL1100 Installation Instructions

1-888-632-3794 • [e-mail] 2
3. For this example your router should either be plugged directly into a modem OR not plugged into a
modem at all. AT NO POINT should your router be plugged into another router! The Router is only
being used to assign IP addresses for PC Pro programming purposes.
4. Turn on the NEC SL1100 and wait for the phones and KSU to power up (approx. 3-5 minutes).
5. Go to any phone and press the Menu Key, then 96. (The Menu Key is the unmarked Circular Button
on the lower right corner on the front of the phone)
6. Press Menu again to display the System IP Address.
7. Write down the IP address. This will be the IP Address used in PC Pro to connect to the phone
system.
SYSTEM IP ADDRESS: ________________________________
Part 2: Connecting to the SL1100 with the PC PRO System Administrator
1. Open the PC Pro System Administrator on the computer that is connected to the same router as the
phone system.
2. Click the Connect Button in the upper left-hand corner.
3. Under Connection Type, Enter the SYSTEM IP Address you wrote down during Part 1.
4. Enter the User Name: sltech (all lower case with no spaces).
5. Enter the Password: 12345678 (no spaces or other characters).
6. Click connect.

7. IMPORTANT! Once connected, Click the Blue Download Arrow (top left hand portion of the
window). This is an important step, to ensure that you don’t overwrite the phone system’s default
8. Click the Start Button to retrieve all the system data that is currently programmed by default.
9. Once the system data has been retrieved and downloaded, click the Close Button.
10. You have now connected, retrieved and downloaded the system data and are ready to make
programming changes to your NEC SL1100.

Connecting to an SL1100 that IS on a Network but
DOES NOT have a VoIP Card:
Part 1: Assigning and Creating IP Addresses
Requirements:
One (1) Ethernet Cable. (We’ve include a Free Ethernet Cable with this purchase)
Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7
The following instructions will determine the:
Subnet Mask Address
Default Gateway Address
SL1100 System IP Address
Perform the following from a Computer on the Network:
1. Click the Start Button in the lower left corner of your screen.
2. In the search box Type cmd then Press Enter to launch the Command Prompt.
Type cmdType cmd

SL1100 Installation Instructions

3. In the Command Prompt Window, Type ipconfig then Press Enter.
4. Locate the Subnet Mask Number and Write it Down.
SUBNET MASK: ________________________________
5. Locate the Default Gateway Number and Write it Down.
DEFAULT GATEWAY: ___________________________
In the next step you’ll need to create two (2) new IP Addresses on your network. The first will be
assigned to the VoIP Card and the second will be reserved for Voice Ports (such as SIP trunks). In
order to create these addresses, you’ll first need to see which IP Addresses are currently in use.
IMPORTANT! If you have an IT administrator, it is important to check with
them and ensure that the addresses you create do not interfere with any
others on the current network.

6. In the Command Prompt Window, Type arp –a and Press Enter.
This will display all of the IP Addresses currently in use on your Network.
7. Locate the Last DYNAMIC IP Address and create a brand new IP Addresses that immediately
follow after that number. This IP Address will be the System IP Address of the SL1100.
Here’s an Example:
In the example picture above, the Last DYNAMIC IP Address is 192.168.1.5
so our new IP Addresses would be:
SYSTEM IP ADDRESS: 192.168.1.6.
Based on YOUR Last DYNAMIC IP Address, write your new IP Addresses here:
SYSTEM IP ADDRESS: .
8. Again, if you have an IT Administrator, it is important to confirm with them that your two (2) new
addresses are available for use on your phone system and will not interfere with any other
devices on your network.

Part 2: Using a Phone to Assign the IP Addresses to the SL1100
Requirements:
A phone connected to the SL1100 Phone System

3. When prompted for a password, Press 12345678.
4. Press the Menu Key. (The Menu Key is the unmarked Circular Button on the lower right corner on the
front of the phone)
5. You will now see “Program Mode” on the phone’s display.
6. Using the dial pad, type 10-63-01 to enter DHCP Client Mode. Our pre-programmed system default
has DHCP set to YES. Change this to NO by pressing the black key +1 soft key under the LCD
display. This turns DHCP off.
7. Press the Menu Key.
8. Press the Mute key two times to back out of 10-63 programming.
9. Using the dial pad, type 10-12-01. You’ll be asked to enter the IP Address of the SL1100, so refer to
the number you wrote down in Part 1, and type your SL1100 System IP Address.
10. You’ll automatically be entered into Programming Mode 10-12-02, where you will be asked to enter a
Subnet Mask. Refer to the number you wrote down in Part 1, and type your Subnet Mask IP
Address, then Press the Menu Key.
11. You’ll automatically be entered into Programming Mode 10-12-03 where you will be asked to enter your
Default Gateway. Refer to the number you wrote down in Part 1, and type your Default Gateway IP
Address.

the SL1100’s Ethernet Port below)
16. Wait 2 Minutes Before Turning the Power Back On.
17. Turn the NEC SL1100 on and wait for the phones and KSU to power up (approx. 3-5 minutes).
GIVE THE PHONE SYSTEM 5 MINUTES TO SAVE CHANGES
Even though the phone’s display has come back up, the changes are still
being written to the processor! Do NOT reboot the system during this time.
Also, IF this is a pre-existing phone system and it already has custom
programming, we strongly recommend backing up the phone system’s
database before continuin
