Function 8: IP PBX programming

This function lets the System Administrator or Installer perform the programming steps that allow
the hardware components — IP PBXs and IP Feature Phones — to communicate with each other.
Note: Neither the IP PBX nor the IP phones use any subnet masking; that is, their subnet mask is
0.0.0.0. In other words, the IP PBX and the phones will communicate with any other device
on their Ethernet segment, as long as that device has an IP address.
When entering F8, the first screen will appear as follows. Press 1 to manage licenses, 2 to program
the local IP PBX, and 3 to program Esi-Link (multisite) capabilities.

Function 82: Local IP PBX programming

Function 82 is an Administrator-level function used to program the local IP PBX so that it can com-
municate with the phones on its own network segment ("local phones"), with Remote IP Feature
Phones, and with other IP PBXs. The administrator will be able to:
• Assign IP addresses and UDP ports to the IP PBX and the local IP phones
• Set limits to the number of available remote talk paths
• Set up the pool of IP addresses used by local IP phones
Note: If you are supporting both IP Series and IP-compatible IVX products, be aware that the
latter feature is used only by the IP 200 and IP 40, not by IVX products.
Function 821: Program IP PBX addresses
Assign IP address to the IP PBX
The administrator assigns an IP address to the IP PBX, using four-octet (dotted-quad) notation. The
default is 192.168.248.1. Press # for the periods between the octets. Press # again when finished.
PBX PRIVATE IP
192.168.248.1
Normally, the IP PBXs will use private IP subnetworks (as defined in RFC 1597
public subnetworks.
For simplicity's sake, it is a good idea to keep all the IP Series components within the same address
range. If the administrator chooses to do this, it would again be a good idea to assign to the IP PBX
the first available address in the range. For example, if the user plans to use the IP addresses
192.168.210.1 through 192.168.210.97 as the range of IP addresses, the .1 address would usually
be assigned to the IP PBX, with the remainder of that block being made available to the phones.
Important: The IP PBX's MAC address will appear in the display. Write down this address. It is
needed for programming Esi-Link access to this IP PBX from other locations.
