Introduction
An IP PBX is a telephone exchange device located at your company which sets up and
controls calls. This document covers configuring the X6004 for internal calls and outbound
calls to either the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) or your ITSP (Internet
Telephony Service Provider).
This Quick Start Guide consists of the following sections:

"See the User’s Guide on the included CD for information on all features of
the X6004.
1 Installation
The X6004 can be rack-mounted or installed on a desktop.
"For proper ventilation, allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) of clearance at
the front and 3.4 inches (8 cm) at the back of the IP PBX. Leave space
between X6004s if stacking.
1.1 Desktop Installation
1Set the X6004 on a smooth, level surface.
2If your X6004 comes with unattached rubber feet, attach them to each corner on the
bottom of the X6004.

ENGLISH

1.2 Rack-mounted Installation
1Align one bracket with the holes on one side of the X6004 and secure it with bracket
screws smaller than the rack-mounting screws. Similarly, attach the other bracket.
2After attaching both mounting brackets, position the X6004 in the rack by lining up the
holes in the brackets with the appropriate holes on the rack. Secure the X6004 to the
rack with the rack-mounting screws.
2 Extension Slots
This section shows you how to install a hard drive as well as the FXS and FXO interface
cards in the X6004.

FXS Interface Cards - The FXS interface cards connect analog phones to the X6004. The
FXS interface cards provide line voltage.
"NEVER connect your FXS ports to your PSTN line. This may damage your
interface card as well as the X6004.
FXO Interface Cards - The FXO interface cards connect to the PSTN or a traditional
PBX. FXO ports always point in the direction of the telephone company’s services.
2.1 Interface Card and Hard Drive Installation
See the User’s Guide for supported interface cards and hard drive specifications. In this
example, the hard drive and the interface card are referred to as expansion modules.
"Make sure the X6004 is turned off when installing or removing a hard drive
or extension cards.
"Ground yourself (by properly using an anti-static wrist strap for example)
whenever working with the device’s hardware or connections.
1Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the thumbscrews and remove the protective
cover from the slot.
2Store the cover in a safe place in case you want to use it in the future.

ENGLISH

"Only the interface card is shown.
3Insert the expansion module by lining it up with the grooves inside the extension slot
and sliding it in.
4Push the expansion module into the extension slot. The expansion module front should
be flush with the front panel of the X6004.
5Use a Phillips screwdriver to securely tighten the thumbscrews in place.

ENGLISH

3 Hardware Connections.
1Use an Ethernet cable to connect the WAN port to your network. It is recommended to
connect the X6004 to a DMZ interface of your Internet security router.
2Use an Ethernet cable to connect the X6004 LAN port to your LAN.
"Inspect the labels on the FXS and FXO cards before making your analog
phone and PSTN connections. NEVER connect your FXS ports to your
PSTN line. This may damage the interface card as well as the X6004.
3Use telephone cables with RJ-11 connectors to connect analog phones to the FXS
interface card on the X6004.
4Use telephone cables with RJ-11 connectors to connect your existing PSTN (Public
Switched Telephone Network) outlet to the FXO interface card on the X6004.
5Connect one end of the supplied power cable or power adaptor to the power receptacle
on the X6004 and the other end to the appropriate power source.

The PWR LED turns on and stays on when the X6004 is receiving power.
The SYS LED blinks during boot up and stays on when the X6004 is ready.

"Boot up takes several minutes. You must wait until the SYS LED stops
blinking and is shining steadily before proceeding.
The WAN and LAN LEDs turn on when the ports detect an Ethernet connection (green =
10 Mbps, orange = 100 Mbps). They blink when data is being transmitted.
The SYS LED on an extension card turns on when the IP PBX detects that the card is
properly installed.
4 Web Configurator Login
You can use the LAN or the WAN port to connect to the X6004.
"Use Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher and ensure that you allow Javascript
and ActiveX to execute on Internet Explorer. (See the appendices in the
user’s guide for details.)
1Log in to the web configurator using HTTPS. If you are
connecting through the LAN port, go to https://
192.168.1.12 (default LAN IP address) or https://
172.16.1.1 (default WAN IP address).
"Click Yes in any security screens that pop-up during the login process.

5 Network Setup Wizard
The wizard opens automatically the first time you log in.
"When using the wizard, click the Next button to proceed to the next screen
or click the Back button to return to the previous screen.
1Configure the WAN settings for the
X6004 as provided to you by your
ISP or network administrator. The
WAN interface serves as a gateway
to your ITSP and peer IP PBX as well
as a SIP server address for remote
IP phones connecting to the X6004.
This screen changes depending on the
encapsulation.
2Configure the LAN IP address and
subnet mask of the X6004.

ENGLISH

3Check your settings and click Finish
to apply them and close the wizard.
"If you changed the IP
address on the X6004, you
must log in again with the
new IP address.
6 Setting up Extensions
You must create extensions for the IP phones and analog phones connecting to the
X6004.
• SIP extensions are for IP telephones that communicate with the X6004 via the LAN or
WAN port.
• FXS extensions are for analog phones that communicate with the X6004 via an FXS inter-
face card.

An outbound rule allows the telephones on your network to make external calls. Outbound
rules are comprised of information about connections to the outside world and dial
conditions. Connections to the outside world can be links to the PSTN, ITSP or trusted
peer connections. Dial conditions are strings of digits that identify which calls match the
outbound rule.

•Trusted Peer on page 22.
"After you set up an OG you can continue with the outbound rule
configuration.
4Fill in the fields to create the
outbound rule.

name, for example “PSTN” if this out-
bound rule is a PSTN connection.
•Description - this field is optional.
•Max. Call Time - leave this field blank
to not set any time limits on outgoing
calls via this connection.
• Specify which external connection(s)
this outbound rule should use and their

external link.
•Dial Condition - Enter a number fol-
lowed by a period. For example,
enter 0., if you want users to dial a
zero to use this external link. Any
number that begins with a zero will
use this external link to make a call.
Note: A period (.) is a wild card entry.
•Number Test - Enter a number and
click => to see if the number matches
the dial condition. An Oappears after
the field if a test is successful and an
xappears if the test fails (the number
dialed does not match this rule).
•Dialed Number - These fields specify any manipulation to apply to the dialed number
before it is routed to the external line.
•Offset - specify how many initial digits the X6004 should strip off the beginning of
the number.
