CD).
Earthing
The 230 V power socket to which the Proxima IP PBX Server is to be connected must
have an earth pin.
Earthing and electric shock protection of the Proxima server is ensured by connecting the
marked protection terminal in the Proxima server with the building's electrical system
230V power socket earth pin using a yellow-green separate wire in a feeder cable
supplying the Proxima server.
If 230 V mains supply extension cables, interference-eliminating strips, UPSs and other
devices installed between the 230 V socket with an earth pin and the Proxima server
feeder cable plug are used, earthing continuity must be absolutely ensured.
NOTE. Due to safety reasons, it is recommended to connect Proxima IP PBX Server
behind a router.

to the wall:
3. Proxima IP PBX Server earthing
The Proxima server must not be connected to a 230 V power socket with a neutral protection pin.
If the Proxima server is to be installed in a room in which the 230 V power socket protection pin
is neutral but not earthed, the following steps should be taken:
An additional, separate earthing installation should be prepared. Earthing must be
prepared and connected in accordance with the requirements concerning earthing of
telecommunications devices (Polish Standard PN-93/T-42107).
Earthing installation should be prepared using a wire with the minimum diameter of 4 mm.
A metal earth rod with the minimum length of 0.5 m should be dug into the ground at a minimum
depth of 0.5 m.
Note!
The above earthing installation example should be treated as a recommendation only. The
length of the earth rod and the depth at which it should be placed depends on the soil type
and composition.
When ready, the earthing should be connected to the earthing terminal mounted at the
back side of the casing, near the Proxima server power switch, using an earthing wire with
a diameter conforming to the standard.

If technical conditions make it impossible to prepare another earthing installation, the Proxima
server can be supplied from a 230 V power socket without an earth pin. In such a case, it is
absolutely necessary to ensure access to the building's main earthing bus, so that it is possible to
earth the server by connecting the server earthing point terminal to the main earthing bus terminal
using a bonding (earthing) conductor with an adequate diameter.
Only the earthing resistance measurement and proper selection of overcurrent protection can
guarantee that no dangerous voltage will occur in metal elements of the Proxima server.
Note!
The telecommunication lines connected to the Proxima server can induce life-threatening
voltages during the atmospheric discharges.
Proxima IP PBX Server must be earthed according to the guidelines described in the
Proxima Operation and Maintenance Manual. Structure and Installation and the server
earthing continuity must be ensured after unplugging the 230V feeder cable from the
power socket.
If the server removing is necessary, the earthing wire should be the last one to be
disconnected from the server casing, after the telecommunication lines had been
disconnected from the server.

4. Server connection to Ethernet (LAN)
The Proxima IP PBX Server is configured via Ethernet using a PC and an Internet browser. In
order to connect the server to LAN, standard computer network wiring, preferably UTP or FTP,
should be used. The place of connecting the network cable on the Proxima server processor is
shown in the figure below:
After the server has been properly connected to LAN on ETH1 connector, a green LED will light
up and a yellow LED will flash on the front panel:
PROXIMA-PROC driver card signalisation:
POWER (green LED) signals that the processor is supplied:
emits continuous light the processor is supplied
emits no light the processor is not supplied
RUN (yellow LED) signals the PROXIMA-PROC driver status
flashes 1.0 s/1.0 s proper operation of the driver processor: none server port is
active
flashes 0.1 s/0.1 s server operation: at least one of the trunk or extension equipment
is active
emits continuous light driver processor is not working
emits no light driver processor is not working
VoIP (blue LED) signals the VoIP channels and ports status
flashes 1.0 s/1.0 s proper operation; none of the registered IP ports is active (no
ongoing VoIP call)
flashes 0.1 s/0.1 s at least one IP port (trunk or extension) is active (ongoing VoIP
call)
emits continuous light driver processor is not working
emits no light no IP port has been defined or driver processor is not working
ALERT (red LED) signals the incorrect Proxima server status
emits continuous light warning: PRA card red alarm, excessive errors number while
saving/reading data from microSD card (all warnings and server operational
parameters incorrect statuses are saved in the server operation report)
emits no light server is working correctly: no warnings, correct status of monitored
server operational parameters.

If LAN is unavailable, it is possible to connect the server to the PC network card. If the PC has
the function of automatic cross-linking detection, a straight-through network cable supplied with
the server can be used. Otherwise, a crossover network cable must be used:
5. IP address settings
Proxima IP PBX Server default IP address: 192.168.1.250.
5.1. Setting up the server IP address from the telephone
In order to set up the server IP address from the telephone, the telephone must be first connected.
Next, enter the (default code:
12345678), set the IP address and the subnet mask using the following codes
# setting up the IP address, e.g. 41 192*168*1*195# (the server will restart
after programming)
# setting up the subnet mask, e.g. 42 255*255*255*0# (the server will
restart after programming)
NOTE
After entering the IP address from the telephone, the server sets the default port to 80.

5.2.4. LINUX Ubuntu
Go to System Preferences Network Connections, select the IPv4 Settings tab, change
Method to Manual and enter the right network parameters.
The IP address must belong to the same subnet as the Proxima server and must be different from
it, e.g.: IP address 192.168.1.251, subnet mask 255.255.255.0
5.3. Proxima IP PBX Server address is not compatible with LAN
architecture
If the default Proxima server address (192.168.1.250) is incompatible with the architecture of the
LAN to which the server has been connected, the server IP address should be changed:
from the telephone (section 5.1) or
the server should be connected directly to the PC (PC IP address should also be
changed see section 5.2.) and the server IP address should be changed via
ProximaWeb software to a compatible one.
Should you encounter any problems, contact your computer network administrator.

6. Logging into the Proxima IP PBX Server
To manage the Proxima IP PBX Server, the Java environment has to be installed on the
computer. The latest Java version you can download from www.java.com website.
The server can be configured after the 192.168.1.250/admin/ address has been entered in the
browser address bar.
After the IP address has been confirmed, a Proxima Web application will be downloaded from
the Proxima IP PBX Server. On activation it will require a password to be entered (default
installer password: 44444444).
The server configuration settings can be changed in the program tabs. However, the server will
apply the introduced changes only after if has received the modified configuration.
After the configuration has been downloaded from the server or the New configuration option has
been selected, the server is ready to be configured.
