1.1 Overview
The IPPBX Administration Guide providesinstructionsfor administeringtheIPPBXsystem. IP
PBXisanembedded call-processing server communicatingwithclientstationswithSession
InitiationProtocol(SIP).Itmigratesthetelephonynetworkandthedatanetworkofasmall-to-
mediumbusiness(SMB) companyinto amanageableconverged network.IPPBXworkswith
variousIPphones(desktop, WiFi, Bluetooth, andDECT),voice-over-IP(VoIP) gateways, and
analogtelephoneadaptersto routecallsamongclientphones, analogphones, andPSTNnetwork.
Additionalvoicefeaturessuchasconferencing, auto attendant, andvoicemailareseamlessly
enabled toall phones. IPPBXalsoprovidesInternetaccess to all LANdevicesthroughNetwork
AddressTranslation(NAT).
IPPBXprovidescallcontrolandmediarelayservicestoSIPclientsandapplications. Itperforms
thefollowing primaryfunctions:
•SIPRegistrar
•SIPOutboundProxywithmediarelay
•SIPGateway(FXO)
•SIPPBXforextensioncalls
•AutoattendantIVR
•Voice mailIVR
•Meet-meconference
IPPBXhasabuilt-in suiteofvoiceapplicationsfor supplementaryservicesandthereforeno
special-purposehardwareisrequired. Thismeansthetotalcostofownershipofaconverged
networkenabled byIPPBXislower thanbuilding separated infrastructuresfor legacytelephony
networkanddatanetwork. Besides,itcomeswithaweb-browsableinterface tothedatanetwork

to login for administration. Theadministratorpasswordcouldbechanged in theUser
Managementpage under user IDadmin.
2.1 Time setup
TheTimeSetup pageallowsadministratorto configuretimezoneanddateforIPPBX. Select
System->Timesetup, currentsettingoftimezone anddateisdisplayed.
2.1.1Time Zone Setup
Choosetimezonein drop-downlist,thenclick Set button.
2.1.2Date Setup
Chooseyear, month, day, hour, minute, andsec in drop-downlistsrespectively, thenclick Set
button.
2.2 WAN setup
TheWAN Setuppage allowsadministrator toconfigureWAN networkinterface for IPPBX.
Select System->WAN setup,currentsettingofWANnetworkinterface isdisplayed, e.g.type,
IPaddress etc. Unless LAN only checkboxischecked, youcanchooseoneofthethree options
foryour configuration, Static, DHCP, andPPPoE.

2.2.1Static
YoucanchooseStaticIPin Type drop-downlist,andmanuallyconfigurethefollowing
information:
•IPaddress
•Networkmask
•DefaultgatewayIPaddress
•PrimaryandsecondaryDNS servers
And, click Save buttontosubmit.
2.2.2DHCP
Simply chooseDHCPin Type drop-downlist, andthenclick Save button.Theacquired IP
address, networkmask, anddefaultgatewayinformationwillbedisplayed whenrevisitthispage

2.3 LAN setup
TheLANSetup page allowsadministratorto configureLANnetworkinterface for IPPBX.
Select System->LAN setup,currentsettingsofLANnetworkinterface aredisplayed. Youcan
modifythembyenteringnew IPaddress andnetworkmaskfollowed byclicking Save button.
Notethat bydefaultIPPBXgrantsIPaddressesto LANdevicesviaDHCPandtranslatesthose
addressesintoitsWANIPaddress for access beyondtheLANsubnet. Asaresult, modifying the
systemLANIPsubnet mustalsochange DHCP pool and LANRouting (ifany) accordingly.
Besides, IPPBXservice mustberestarted.
2.4 LAN Routing
ToenablestaticroutingamongLANsubnets, enter networkinfoandtheIPaddress ofthe
correspondinggatewayin IPPBX sLAN. Itisimportantto assurethat thegivengatewayIP
address sitsin theIPPBX sLAN. Eachsubnetrequiresanentryevenmultiplesubnetssharethe
samegateway, unlessmasking does thesame. ExamplesareaddingIPRouteIDs net1 and net2
withparameters192.168.128.0/255.255.255.0, 192.168.129.0/255.255.255.0, shared gateway
192.168.1.254 respectively. Or, IPRouteID net1n2 with192.168.128.0/255.255.254.0and
gateway192.168.1.254woulddothesame. Addedroutesenableroutingimmediatelyafter
clicking Save button, however, IPPBXservice needstoberestarted to regardcallsfrom

Therearethree differentoperationmodesprovidedbyIPPBX. Theyarestandalonemode,
master mode, andslavemode. Thedefaultmode is standalonemode whilethereisnocluster and
IPPBXboxworksindependently. Onceacluster isformed, theremustbeonly oneboxrunning
in master mode, restofboxesrunin slavemode in thecluster. For instance, letusconsider full-
