Two sets of IPX-2500 behind router
Sometimes the IPX-2500 doesn’t have a public IP address, and you have to configure port mapping for your
router.
Step 1: Configuring the mapping rule of IPX-2500-A on the router.
The IPX-2500-B is connected behind the router, and registers on the IPX-2500-A through Internet. You need
to configure the port mapping of IAX2 port(4569) on the router. Then, all data received from eth0 port of
router(192.168.1.100:4569) will be sent to the IPX-2500-A
Now, take the web management panel of the AND-4100 router as an example.
In here both UTP and TCP must open for IP PBX.

Step 2: IPX-2500 Configuration
Configure the trunk and dial plan on the IPX-2500-B, and register the IPX-2500-B IP to the IPX-2500-A. The
configuration is the same as the above, but you have to replace the public IP address with the internal
IP:192.168.1.21.
Step 3: Configuring port mapping rule of the IPX-2500-B on the router
Configure port mapping of the IPX-2500-B on the router according to Step 1.
Step 4: Connecting two sets of the IPX-2500 and make the call
Create extension 601 on the IPX-2500-A, extension 801 on the IPX-2500-B, and create the correct
outbound rule.
Public IP must be provided by network provider. It could be dynamic IP address, and easy to
change; you can resolve this problem by using DDNS.
