PLANET IPX-1800 user’s manual
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The IP PBX Administration Guide provides instructions for administering the IP PBX system. IP
PBX is an embedded call-processing server communicating with client stations with Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP). It migrates the telephony network and the data network of a small-to-
medium business (SMB) company into a manageable converged network. IP PBX works with
various IP phones (desktop, WiFi, Bluetooth, and DECT), voice-over-IP (VoIP) gateways, and
analog telephone adapters to route calls among client phones, analog phones, and PSTN network.
Additional voice features such as conferencing, auto attendant, and voicemail are seamlessly
enabled to all phones. IP PBX also provides Internet access to all LAN devices through Network
Address Translation (NAT).
IP PBX provides call control and media relay services to SIP clients and applications. It performs
the following primary functions:
• SIP Registrar
• SIP Outbound Proxy with media relay
• SIP Gateway (FXO)
• SIP PBX for extension calls
• Auto attendant IVR
• Voice mail IVR
• Meet-me conference
IP PBX has a built-in suite of voice applications for supplementary services and therefore no
special-purpose hardware is required. This means the total cost of ownership of a converged
network enabled by IP PBX is lower than building separated infrastructures for legacy telephony
network and data network. Besides, it comes with a web-browsable interface to the data network
configuration and voice service provisioning, which brings the manageability of both networks
together to facilitate administration locally or remotely.
The IPX-1800 family includes two models for phone ports, part number with 03 for three FXO
(Foreigh eXchange Office) interface and the rest will be four-port model. In the following the
term “IPX-1800＂will means the model of the family, “IP PBX” for PLANET IP PBX family
products, IPX-2000, IPX-1800.

2 System Configuration
This section describes how to configure system parameters used by IP PBX. The factory default
of LAN IP address is 192.168.1.1. Connect to LAN port and the configuration Web interface
could be reached at https://192.168.1.1/. Once connected, the browser will warn about accepting
a certificate. Please accept it. Then, give default administrator ID and password (both are admin)
to log in for administration. The administrator password could be changed in the User
Management page under user ID admin.
2.1 Time setup
The Time Setup page allows administrator to configure time zone and date for IP PBX. Select
System -> Time setup, current setting of time zone and date is displayed.
2.1.1 Time Zone Setup
Choose time zone in drop-down list, then click Set button.
2.1.2 Date Setup
Choose year, month, day, hour, minute, and sec in drop-down lists respectively, then click Set
button.

PLANET IPX-1800 user’s manual
2.2 WAN setup
The WAN Setup page allows administrator to configure WAN network interface for IP PBX.
Select System -> WAN setup, current setting of WAN network interface is displayed, e.g. type,
IP address etc. Unless LAN only checkbox is checked, you can choose one of the three options
for your configuration, Static, DHCP, and PPPoE.
2.2.1 Static
You can choose Static IP in Type drop-down list, and manually configure the following
information:
•IP address
•Network mask
•Default gateway IP address
•Primary and secondary DNS servers
And, click Save button to submit.
2.2.2 DHCP
Simply choose DHCP in Type drop-down list, and then click Save button. The acquired IP
address, network mask, and default gateway information will be displayed when revisit this page
later.
2.2.3 PPPoE
Choose PPPoE in Type drop-down list, enter username and password, and then click Save
button. The PPPoE dialing will start right away. When there is an active connection, the page
will show the acquired IP address, network mask, and default gateway information. There will
also be a Disconnect button to disconnect connection when desired.
2.2.4 Lan only
Check Lan only to disable WAN IP setting but allow the configuration of default gateway and
primary/secondary DNS servers.

PLANET IPX-1800 user’s manual
2.3 LAN setup
The LAN Setup page allows administrator to configure LAN network interface for IP PBX.
Select System -> LAN setup, current settings of LAN network interface are displayed. You can
modify them by entering new IP address and network mask followed by clicking Save button.
Note that by default IP PBX grants IP addresses to LAN devices via DHCP and translates those
addresses into its WAN IP address for access beyond the LAN subnet. As a result, modifying the
system LAN IP subnet must also change DHCP pool and LAN Routing (if any) accordingly.
Besides, IP PBX service must be restarted.
2.4 LAN Routing
To enable static routing among LAN subnets, enter network info and the IP address of the
corresponding gateway in IP PBX’s LAN. It is important to assure that the given gateway IP
address sits in the IP PBX’s LAN. Each subnet requires an entry even multiple subnets share the
same gateway, unless masking does the same. Examples are adding IP Route IDs net1 and net2
with parameters 192.168.128.0/255.255.255.0, 192.168.129.0/255.255.255.0, shared gateway
192.168.1.254 respectively. Or, IP Route ID net1n2 with 192.168.128.0/255.255.254.0 and
gateway 192.168.1.254 would do the same. Added routes enable routing immediately after
clicking Save button, however, IP PBX service needs to be restarted to regard calls from
designated LAN subnets as LAN traffic.

PLANET IPX-1800 user’s manual
2.5 DynDNS setup
Dynamic WAN IP address causes difficulty for inbound connections from remote clients or IP
PBX systems. A popular work-around is to adopt domain names provided by DynDNS and run a
client on or behind the gateway router (or IP PBX). It is required to apply an account and create a
hostname in the account before configuration. Select Enable and give account info and refresh
interval to activate a DynDNS client. The client then uses Username and Password to access its
account and update the Hostname with the latest WAN IP address at DynDNS in Interval
seconds periodically.
2.5.1 Enable DynDNS
Select Enable radio button, enter the Username, Password, Hostname, and Interval, and then
click Save button. Typical hostname has a form of <hostname>.dyndns.org. The refresh interval
is usually between 60 – 600 seconds depending on the volatility of WAN IP assignment.
2.5.2 Disable DynDNS
Select Disable radio button, and then click Save button.
2.6 QoS setup
To assure the bandwidth reserved for the outgoing VoIP traffic over regular data traffic from
LAN, QoS Setup page offers three parameters to characterize the WAN link. By default QoS is
disabled since these parameters must be correctly given according to the actual WAN speed.
2.6.1 Enable QoS
Select Enable radio button, enter the WAN uplink speed, WAN downlink speed, and Uplink
VoIP reserved (bandwidth), and then click Save button. For a popular 2M/256K ADSL program,
the WAN uplink speed would be 256 and the WAN downlink speed would be 2048 since the
unit is in kbps. The Uplink VoIP reserved could be, say, 192 out of the total 256 kbps to allow 2
concurrent G.711 calls.
11 of 49

PLANET IPX-1800 user’s manual
2.6.2 Disable QoS
Select Disable radio button, and then click Save button.
2.7 Virtual server
To enable access servers in LAN from a machine beyond WAN, select System -> Virtual
server to configure port mappings. Service ID names the service. Protocol and Port specify the
TCP/UDP port number on WAN IP to be forwarded to the Forward to port of Forward to IP
in LAN. Say 192.168.1.5 is a Mail Server to be seen from outside, one should configure TCP
port 25 to be forwarded to 192.168.1.5 port 25.
2.8 Maintenance
This page includes maintenance functions of IP PBX, from status display to storage backup, etc.
2.8.1 SIP registration status
This Display button lists registration status of each client and remote IP PBX and the IP/Port
from where they register. SIP trunk registrations, if any, are also shown in the end of the list.
Column Dynamic stands for whether the listed IP address is dynamic or specified. Reg.
Progress is the response code and message if registration has been attempted but not successful
so far. Slave Registrar column is used only under the stackable mode. It indicates with which
slave box a SIP client is registered. Blank means a client is registered with the master box.
2.8.2 Call Detail Record
CDR details each call record including calling and called numbers, channel (trunk if outbound)
in use, epochs when the call was made, answered, and ended, which yield the total and billable
durations. The last column denotes the disposition of a call like answered or not.

This displays the size and utilization percentage of the internal main system storage.
2.8.5 System storage backup
To back up internal main storage, click the Backup button and follow instructions to insert the
USB connector of an external USB drive. Options include whether to keep or remove CDR
and/or voicemails after backup. After a confirmation of the insertion, back starts a few seconds
later if the external USB drive is accessible and found enough available space. On a successful
backup, the name of the new folder created on the external drive will be displayed. Either the
backup is successful or failed, a user must remove the USB connector of the external drive.
2.9 Firmware upgrade
The version of the running PBX firmware could be found in System -> PBX firmware. To
upgrade current firmware, locate a release file obtained from the vendor, and click Upgrade.
Note that the filename of firmware should not be changed, otherwise system will refuse to
upgrade with it.

Global SIP settings, call records, and status of clients could be found in the first half of the page.
PBX SIP port specifies the UDP port where the SIP service listens on. RTP port range limits
the UDP ports used by the IP PBX for media transport. Max and default expiration time guard
and advertise SIP registration respectively. PBX Caller ID is the default Caller ID if that of an
incoming call is unknown. Check the Enable video codec checkbox if there will be video clients
registering to the system. Checking Support devices multiplex Call-ID forces discrimination of
SIP tags. Do this only when there is such a client device in the system and other devices
supporting the same. Otherwise, one may find the special device only got registered with this
option but other clients or even SIP trunks fail due to such change. Max active users is for
18 of 49

PLANET IPX-1800 user’s manual
registration admission control to limit the maximum number of actively registered clients. Max
active calls is for call admission control to limit the maximum number of concurrent calls, while
Max wireless calls limits the calls made by explicitly specified wireless extensions. IP PBX
service must be reloaded to activate changes.
3.6.2 Reload IP PBX configuration
By clicking Reload button, IP PBX will reload configuration as soon as possible until there is no
active call. Current active calls will be retained up to 3 minutes. This is the most frequently used
function in this page since any IP PBX configuration change has to be reloaded to take effect.
3.6.3 Backup IP PBX configuration
By clicking Backup button, IP PBX archives and encrypts current configuration into a time-
stamped backup file under /tftpboot. To secure configuration files, it is suggested to download
them to a local host through the Get function in Service -> TFTP service once a while. Note
that the filename of a configuration file should not be changed; otherwise, it will be rejected by
the Restore function.

3.6.6 Revert IP PBX configuration
Click Revert button, and IP PBX will erase current IP PBX settings and revert configuration
back to the factory default. Note the reversion affects IP PBX service only but not rest system
services like DHCP, TFTP, QoS, NTP, STUN, etc. The backup IP PBX configuration files under
TFTP remain intact after reversion, so that one can restore to a specific time if a backup file had
been generated then.
To completely revert the whole system back to the factory default, press the hardware rest button
and hold for 10 seconds before release. Since this will wipe out everything generated by the user,
remember to download configuration files under /tftpboot/ to a local host in case they may be
used later. However, all system interfaces and services must be configured from scratch again.

IP PBX Configuration
This section introduces steps to provision the IP telephony part of the IP PBX. Please note that
reloading configuration is required in order to make new configuration effective2.
3.7 Usergroup Configuration
A usergroup is a logically grouping of users and their privileges. For instance, one could have
couple of usergroups in an IP telephony network, e.g. Sales, Marketing, Administration,
Accounting, and Engineering, etc. Each usergroup associates with a set of PBX features and call
routing scopes. In other words, all users in the same usergroup share the same reachability of
PBX features and final destinations.
The User Group Management page allows the administrator to manage usergroups. By selecting
User -> Usergroup, one can add, edit, or delete usergroups. IP PBX service must be reloaded to
activate changes.
3.7.1 Add Usergroup
